Would you consider that silly? SHL player names have been removed (a prime example is Name Redacted), we have had SHL members in the past suspended for using discriminatory symbolism (ex: the use of the swastika) and have added policies like having personal pronouns displayed for each member in a "fantasy" league to make it a more inclusive environment. These are all prime examples of how the SHL has blended the real world with "fantasy" and would like to ask if you think that is silly? No offense, but this is kind of a ridiculous stance to take. A place of origin is not comparable in the least to examples of racism, sexism, or discrimination. We can continue to treat names and bad faith actors on a case by case basis (such as Name Redacted, or others) without having a heavy handed approach to an entire federation and core part of hockey. Are Igor Larionov or Pavel Datsyuk renders off limits now, cause they could illicit feelings towards present day Russia? Is RISK a dangerous game to let children play? Should we ban America for (most recently) it's stances on allowing transgender athletes to compete (or exist, really)? There's a degree of separation between the SHL and the real world and when you try to combine the two it just doesn't work out. |
