This is not his fight and there is no sense in creating more trouble. Ovechkin is not a Political Figure, he is just a hockey player.

If his family was legitimately at risk …I’d absolutely agree with you.
But I have a tough time believing that all of the times Ovi batted his lovey lashes at Putin it was because of threats to his family. He genuinely likes hanging with the guy.
Of course, I am completely speculating. And agree that this is brave of me to say sitting on my couch in Canada. But he should just say ‘this is wrong and I don’t support it’.
I highly doubt Putin is watching NHL news just to put out an immediate hit notice on the extended family.
