An interesting article looking at the heavy hitters of political donations from the sporting world.

Amusingly, Gary Bettman gave zero to both the Republicans and Democrats, the only commissioner of a league not to do so.

So thats why americans have little to no interest in hockey! Government controls the media, media forms the views of the people. No contribution by the NHL to Government, means no media coverage. :biglaff:
