Talking politics in an Olympic thread, something that is inherently political, isn’t really a stretch at all.
Nobody is advocating for the permanent inclusion of politics into every NHL related thread. People are saying it makes sense that it comes up in a Canada vs USA olympic thread. Pretty simple. Not dramatic.
Just don’t bother with the “what’s the point of having a separate forum” nonsense. It’s ignorant and pointless, especially considering you haven’t mentioned it once in an Olympic thread and don’t seem to mind people talking about the NBA either (oh, but it’s related because they have a draft! lol). None of these topics are at risk of becoming permanent inclusions.
