The more I see details like players wearing stickers of their NHL teams on their helmets I cringe (it's cute, but still). And things like ~Team North America~ ~Team Europe~ and the fake national anthems, lmao I hope the players aren't falling for it and still demand to go to the Olympics. The NHL can stand to lose money for two weeks, it actually irritates me so much.

Also I was watching Stephen A Smith talk about Torts and the anthem thing and he said if players representing the National team want to kneel, they should, because representing the US is not a private interest like representing your NHL team (or any national league sports team), so it should be allowed...but seeing as this whole tournament is organised by the NHL for NHL interests, it pretty much is a private interest thing, right?
