I’m in no position to judge anyone and I think many of those booing Russians or vandalizing Canadians originally from Russia (like churches or associations) are just wrong. No one likes war…. but I think blaming people who aren’t involved in it is just short sighted.

One more time - and I’m not saying it’s right or wrong - they aren’t booing Russians in general. They are specifically booing Ovechkin because he’s made a point of showing off his friendship with Putin, and has set up a Putin booster group of NHLers (and other athletes IIRC ). I guess the take would be that he’s involved himself.
