Ovechkin has always supported Putin and continues to do so.
You are choosing not to see the difference so I'll just let it be with you.

It's not me who is choosing not to see the difference. Just look at the thread you're in.
How often were players like Kaprisov and Fedotov in danger before? How often were these players punished just for being in the NHL?
Why hasn't Panarin, some one who has "always" been outspoken against Putin, spoken a word about the war on Ukraine?
I'm not being disingenuous, I'm asking you genuine questions, trusting the answers will help you to put two and two together. The situation was never good, but it is significantly worse now. You pretending that there is no difference between 2019 and 2022? That's disingenuous. Russia is actively punishing anyone who speaks out against them right now in ways we haven't seen in recent history.
It should be a sign that not even Panarin, who once said, "Athletes should pay attention to what’s going on in the country. They should have a position." has taken no position. Tell me, honestly, do you think he's a coward now?
