Dude my player is John Brown. John fucking Brown. The radical abolitionist who was heavily involved in Bleeding Kansas, as well as the mastermind behind the raid on Harpers Ferry. John Brown was a radical abolitionist so committed to abolishing slavery that he directly took matters into his own hands to fight against one of the greatest injustices in our nation's history. John Brown declared things akin to "The sins of this guilty land will never be washed away but with blood". The dude fought and died to free the slaves as best he could, and heralded the truth that only a war would truly exorcise the demon of slavery. Even though there's still more that needs to be done in fixing the 13th amendment and legalized slavery in for-profit prisons, to play for any other IIHF nation would be absurd, and frankly it's insulting that his first few seasons weren't playing for the USA from the start because of bureaucratic oversights.
