There’s also the Russian thing:
“NHL teams’ concern for Russian player safety has arisen since Russia’s anti-gay laws were amended in early December. Per The New York Times, the new law makes it “illegal to spread ‘propaganda’ about ‘nontraditional sexual relations’ in all media, including social, advertising and movies.” The law states fines can be up to $6,400 for citizens and $80,000 for organizations.”

They literally banned photos of men eating ice cream together because they said it promotes what they consider non-traditional relationships. Just the other day a woman received 4 months in prison for wearing earrings with a rainbow pattern.
I could dig up the sources but am too lazy right now. Things have gotten down right stupid there.
