I was responding to the CBC article that you thought was so telling. The article specifically raised the question why Ovechkin is still allowed to play in the league. I can address that question if I like.

He openly supports his child killing friend.

His ‘friend’ has not, in fact, killed any children. But if you want to go down that road, then every single leader of a country at war is a child-killer. There has never been a war in which children did not get killed.

Go and read up on why he is a wanted war criminal and then come tell me it is his army that committed these hanous acts and that he had nothing to do with it.

I'm perfectly familiar with what's going on there, thank you, and I never said he had nothing to do with it. But he did not commit these crimes personally, and frankly, the principal blame falls on the soldiers who did these things. It's quite clear under international law that no one can lawfully command a soldier to commit a war crime.

The only discussion we should be having about Ovechkin is what a discusting person he is for supporting Putin, that is and was my whole point.

Well, that's your opinion. We are not all required to hate the people you hate, and we certainly are not required to censor ourselves from talking about subjects that you don't wish to see discussed.
You know what Putin was doing for years before he became a war criminal? Shutting down dissent, just like you're trying to do here. The big difference is that he does have the power to do that and you, thank God, don't.
