It's a Calgary Flames hockey board. Sometimes people here just want to talk about hockey. Especially when a big trade happens. That's all. Hope you get why I was getting annoyed.

Why is it political? Did I bring up the carbon tax or whether or not building a wall will benefit border security? Anything about student loans being forgiven or enforced? Those are political topics.
The Flames just traded for someone who made league wide news last year for refusing to support LGBT people for whatever reason. That's something you'd think would come up in the trade thread. If they trade for Evander Kane or Carter Hart, or hire Bill Peters, what do you expect people will be discussing?
