Hockey prompt:
While part of me would love to see NHL players with personality who speak their mind, another part of me thinks that it would make me stop watching. The reason for this is because, as we've seen time and time again, many of the players in the NHL are not good people, and when it comes out that they aren't good people, the league doesn't seem to care if they're talented enough hockey players. Like many others with similar worldviews to mine, I have a complicated relationship with hockey where I love the sport and find it extremely entertaining, but the culture around it sometimes makes me not want to tell people I'm a fan. The part of me that thinks that NHL players who show who they really are would make me stop watching doesn't want to know how many of the players I cheer for and idolized as a kid are just spoiled rich kid hockey bros who have never grown up, no matter how entertaining it would be to see Brad Marchand chirping fans on Twitter every night. |
