The right people are mad, so it's probably the right decision, but...
Why 2 years?
 
When double standards exist, the IIHF becomes nothing more than a political entity pushing certain political agendas over others. The main focus ceases to be about hockey all.

An international organization composed of representatives of nation-states is a political entity? I'm shocked!

I was surprised too. I was positive they weren't going the worlds in Sweden. I thought Olympic decision was next. Then the next World's. They banned them for the first and third event and left the middle one open to more meetings. Thought that was strange.

Politics, folks.

If you don't think you can stay out of political undertones, then stay out of the thread (which is now significantly shorter than it was five minutes ago).

No matter which way you spin it, any comment in this thread is political. If you celebrate this decision or deride it....it is political.

Well, if you feel that way, you know where the door is.

Do I think this thread will last long? Absolutely no. But it deserves a chance.
