Re: Random Hockey Stuff
(Anonymous) 2016-07-28 06:11 am (UTC)(link)The thing with the women's hockey players is that their twitter accounts are much less followed and less scrutinized than the men's, and less subject to PR control. So if you have this many of the top women's players openly supporting Trump or expressing pro-Trump sentiments (or anti-Black ones, in the case of the Brianne McLaughlin and the Lamoureux), when the women are generally more well-educated, less privileged, living more in the "real world" than their male counterparts... what do the politics on men's side look like? That's why I sort of shook my head sadly when someone tried to connect polls of "college-educated young white men" to trends in the NHL. It doesn't work that way in such a specialized, closed, privileged community steeped in its own particular values and traditions. Mike McKenna has said that he thinks he is in the "extreme minority" of US hockey players (male ones, I presume) supporting Obama (this was during the 2012 election), and he mentioned offhand actually trying to have these discussions with his fellow players before and not getting through to them.
