The issue lies in the fact that there was a deliberate attempt by the Canadian government to eliminate the culture of groups of people. So to then use that culture when it suits you ruffles some feathers. And that's what this is, as Scorp has said. I don't think there's a big call for Holtby's contract to be revoked or him to be banned from the NHL or something. It was a misstep and it is being corrected. It is great to be inspired by art in other cultures, but there are also a lot of factors at play.
