[hockeykicker]

Not a good a look for the Caps, Qatar is not a country you want to be associated with.

With their record of human rights abuses it’s only fitting they’d be Caps fans.

Excuse me?

What do the human rights in Qatar have to do with rooting for the Capitals? Are you implying that rooting for the Caps makes me or others a terrible person with no regards for human rights?

 

[M2Beezy]

[Ezekial]

Are you okay with slavery?

Washington’s captain has a photograph of himself with Vladimir Putin as his Instagram profile picture so I wouldn’t call it all that far fetched.

[aemoreira1981]

Perhaps through beIN Sports, which is owned by the Qatari government? Qatar and Russia, once adversaries, are close now. The reason has to do with natural resources...details too complex to go into on a hockey forum.

Ovi started his own putin fanclub

Yeah, I would be 100% go Caps if not for that, but this has me extremely torn.

Then again, Brent Burns follows Trump on Twitter, so I guess these are just things that I should try to ignore when being a hockey fan.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Yeah right. I come from the country that invented the notion of human rights, so...

Why would I give a shit what Ovechkin thinks about Putin? None of my business.

Well, I follow a lot of people on Twitter that I don't agree with, and Burns follows around 1600 people.

In a perfect world my franchise best player wouldnt support a murderous despot

Sorry, I actually meant Instagram, where Burns only follows 321, including Donald, Donald Jr., and Ivanka.

Seeing as Ovechkin has publicly declared his love for Putin and created a Putin fan club, I think he wants it to be your business. This isn’t some secret political view that he keeps to himself.
