So part of this is reaction to anti-gay laws in other countries where players come from. Part is just cowardice. It's basically an open secret that many Russian players have family held "hostage," mandatory participation could be problematic for them. Banning all participation doesn't make any sense though.

Good point. Though, I think anyone moving to another country should respect the people there and acknowledge the situation—regardless if they disagree or not—before making the leap.

Of course, that's all hippie bullshit and it doesn't work that way, but it's true. Maybe one day, in many, many generations from now, we'll get there and everyone can just enjoy hockey as it is and participate how they like. Sounds pretty righteous duuude ✌️
