Man, what has gotten into "sports reporters" lately?
The year started off with thedebacle at the Australian Open, where a select few decided to wade into political waters to ask some "gotcha" questions to American tennis players.
As much fun as that was, the Olympics have taken things to another level, particularly in hockey.
First, you had a CBC analyst try to bait Canadian great Wayne Gretzky into a tricky situation because he hasthe audacity to be friends with Donald Trump.
However, The Great One shut it down with the grace that few could in a situation like that, though some ungrateful Canadians still chose to give one of their national treasures the cold shoulder.
Now, it appears as though journalists have moved on to the next best thing in hockey, Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid.
McDavid was asked point-blank about the geopolitical tensions between neighbors Canada and the United States, but McJesus displayed the same poise off the ice as he does on it with his response.
Allow me to echo what McDavid said: it's a hockey game, people.
For crying out loud, Canada and the United States were rivals long before Trump got into office.
Doesn't anyone remember the all-time classic matchup between the two in Vancouver?
