Alumnus in the Pros - 1971-79

I know we disdain politics here, but this is Ken Dryden writing in the WSJ.

I posted same thing in the off topic forum right after you.  Sorry.  I will try to delete that.  If can't, maybe someone can figure out how to redirect it here.  My point was:

Don't know if this goes in the hockey forum or here, but Dryden wrote an op-ed in the WSJ today.

It was very well written and a good story about the mid-70s Flyers and their intimidating tactics. But then he got political with claims about Trump. Regardless of the political stance, to me it brings kind of a sour feeling that a Canadian--a Canadian politician especially--needs to get involved in US politics.

Actually, though, even if he were American, I would be uncomfortable with this. Athletes have the same right to speak as the rest of us, but I like to separate my sports/entertainment from my politics.

It's a worthwhile discussion topic, particularly for the offseason.  But it does belong is JSID, IMNSHO.  Keep political discussions over there.
