I understand where you are coming from, BigBrodieFan
I have another view that is pretty simple. There are probably a lot of people who may not watch or follow the news particularly closely, but do watch hockey. When they go to tune in, and there is no hockey, and they find out why, there has been an increase in awareness of the issue. Lots of people agreeing that the issue should take precedence over their game. That is not the whole story, but to me is enough to make it worthwhile.
