In 1980, the US Olympic hockey team defeated a socialist regime with repressive speech rules and intrusive restrictions on personal freedoms.

This is precisely why Canada should never win an international hockey tournament ever again.

People - like this media dipshit - who so quickly throw the greatest player and ambasador of the game under the bus for political virtue signalling lose the right to gloat about hockey. https://t.co/62u3Gqs6EM
What has been lost, aside from professionalism, is the kind of composure needed to stomach a loss and revel in a victory.
If anything, this game - indeed, the winter Olympics - have shown Canada as it has become: no longer a fledgling nation that put its entire weight into any effort and either succeeding or failing with grace, but now a group of self-important, self-entitled blowhards who labour under the delusion that the world thinks it's so pretty and special because it's not the US, but is now met with the reality that the world is finding its tantrums and ego tiresome.
It's hard to walk back from that.
