Whether or not that’s true here perhaps is up for debate. But I don’t think it’s fair to expect anyone to stick their head in the sand and pretend like there isn’t some pretty serious threats from the United States of America to the rest of the world right now. And especially Canada.
The outcome of this hockey game isn’t gonna affect Trump’s presidency. But just like 1972 it means more because of the political climate.

I’ve not said there aren’t serious threats from the United States
I just don’t think this game matters as part of that bigger and way more important topic
I won’t feel any better about the state of the world if Canada wins.
