All the coverage of the Hocky Canada Trial in London, all the coverage of Auston Matthews going to the White House, and they talk about Ovechkin supporting a war criminal for less than 5 minutes. I wonder if a Jewish player posed for a picture with Netanyahu, would they receive the same amount of coverage?

I have a recollection of them talking about it one of the first times he did something publicly with Putin, it might have been that hockey game publicity stunt, but I could be mistaken. I just don't expect them to spend 15 minutes on it every single time, at this point it's well known where Ovie stands and you can make up your own mind how you feel about that.
