Aphrodite posted:Detroit's star player is a homophobe douche. Also they call themselves Hockeytown despite not even being in the top 3 of US markets (and well behind when we count Canada.) That is a significant misnomer! Forever ago in the thread, but Datsyuk is still a Russian citizen who is actively involved in stuff over in Russia, and right now it is not exactly wise to publicly speak out against Russia's policies, especially as a public figure. He may very well be just as vile as Putin's policies are, but there is some context here beyond "Datsyuk hates gay people" Also compared to other douchey sports teams like the Lakers, Yankees, Patriots, Heat, and the Steelers, the Red Wings, and really any hockey team, are nowhere close. We are pretty much the Yankees of hockey though, especially before the salary cap.

ElwoodCuse posted:Bullshit there is. Ovechkin and Malkin, for example, basically dodged the question when it came up. Datsyuk was asked about his Red Wings teammate opposing the law and came right out and said "I'm Orthodox, you figure it out". Dodging the question is not all that different, its not like either of them came out in opposition. Him toeing the party line by saying that is exactly what I meant. He straight up agreed, but its not like he can freely disagree either.
