People calling for class here… where was that class when y’all gave him a pass for being the face of a mass murder’s piblic campaign? Didn’t seem to be too sad about all the fathers dead in the war.
And please don’t give me the story how he didn’t personally shoot anybody, or he was forced. We all make decisions. Ovechkin made his.
If a hockey player supported Hitler’s ideas in the past, y’all would lose your shit. But when it’s happening right now in our times, people make excuses. Sad.

Lol you actual fucking Reddit nerds. Go outside and touch grass.

Just wanted to say I like Alex Ovechkin as a hockey player, before this thread gets locked-out like ‘05

I don’t know if I should be proud of the people handling themselves as adults or shocked that the mods are slow to react.

Hate how much Reddit hockey fans virtue signal now. Everything has to be political for some reason. You don’t have to be pro-LGBT or pro-Ukraine to be treated like a human. Get a life

RIP to a great father. You’re all mentally ill in the comments

The don’t disturb my family messages are always super weird to me because 99% of the time no one knows anything or planned on disturbing your family prior to your sharing the news incredibly publicly to people who would’ve had no idea.

Man people are real asshole. Guy’s father dies and all people can think of is Putin and giving Ovi a hard time.

I now understand why so many people hate Reddit and the far left. Some of you really are insufferable assholes.
No one gives a fuck about your political stance, take that shit back to r/politics

This should not be politicized. This is Putins war, not the Russian peoples

I can only assume that those commenting “keep politics out of hockey” also believe in not playing the anthems before games, no “veterans appreciation nights” no “pride nights” absolutely nothing except hockey with no outside input?

i love how everyone is so principled and brave. let’s go out on a limb and say NONE of you have any idea what is behind Ovis silence on the war or what it’s like to grow up in post soviet russia, become an international superstar athlete who wins praises from his government, fellow citizens and the world alike, and then have their country start an illegal war. everything is simple when you don’t actually have to do anything. oh bravo you are all anti russian and pro ukraine. im sure that just feeeeeling those things has made a tangible difference.
