  1. As a viewer only, that’s exactly what I thought.

    These guys come across like sleazy frat boy trash now.

    I wonder how Matthew’s feels about it all with his mom’s Mexican heritage? I wonder how the Minnesota fans will react to Quinn?

  3. You have endorsement potential on the wrong axis. You’re showing it going up as something else goes down.

  4. Wow….who would have thought that a sport that requires you to be rich and white would produce a bunch of assholes.

  5. Guys, it’s not surprising at all especially with hockey. It costs roughly 20k a year to support a child in youth hockey. These guys have likely spent all of their time since they were roughly 6-8 years old surrounded by nothing but other rich white kids with rich white families. When you spend all of your time around nothing but that for 10+ years what do you think happens to your worldview?

    The amount of money it requires to support a youth hockey player alone speaks to that all of these guys are from affluent families that have hard conservative views. If there are a handful of guys on the team that don’t lean that way they likely are going to cave to pressure because they don’t want the personal repercussion that comes from that.

    Example of that, this country wraps sports and religion incredibly tightly together that non religious athletes feel pressure to go a long with it for fear or repercussion. My son played high school football and isn’t religious at all, he told me he had to participate in team prayer because he’d get benched and shit on by his teammates if he didn’t.

    It bothers me that the mislabelled axis on this chart suggests these things are increasing the endorsement potential…

  7. All that’s left for them to do is say they support bombing Iran and that Israel owns the Middle East and they’d be set for life.

    The punishment of having to go to the SotU Address is a good start but I agree we can do more here.

  9. Isn’t this graph backwards? Labeling the bottom axis as endorsement potential means it’s getting higher the more they become political? Am I being stupid?

    They will be prime candidates to be the spokesmen for the kkk though. What else could they promote?

  11. Meanwhile the us women’s hockey team has won 3 gold medals in the last 28 yrs alone as compared to the 46 yrs for mens.

  12. When it’s all said and done, I don’t think any of these people will be prepared to reap what they’ve sown.

    Mens US Hockey Team? They admire a pedophile so well they can all go straight to hell. I wish Canada won.

  14. Maga either severely taints or completely ruins everything it touches.

    Trade relations, key allies, Kennedy Center, the East Wing, Independence Day, congress, scotus, Nobel, DoJ, WHO, CDC, NATO, UN, soft power, FIFA and now the olympics. Pathetic.

  15. I’m going to go ahead and boycott NHL entirely until the U.S. is ready to be a decent country.
