I get that this generation lacks education, but man, at least try to hide your ignorance

And? I'm willing to bet the majority of people didn't know the name either before the movie

This comment lacks education smh.

Are you telling me history is not taught in American schools ?

Should get 2 handed in the face for this!

Anyone picking a dumb pink colored movie over an epic historical drama should get it

 

[Bleak]

Woah! A very young athlete that doesn't know history very well. Such an uncommon spectacle!!!

Brooooo, these kids eat, drink, sleep, and live hockey. They were hardly in school during their younger years lol

Is this going to be the new question they ask when interviewing prospects?

One of the best to lace em up, just like Bernier and Mandela.

guilty

Yes we learn about The Manhattan Project in US schools. No I am not surprised he doesn’t know, nor do I care.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Reminds me of Jonathan Bernier calling Nelson Mandela ’one of his favorite athletes’.

Bingo.

He's a very small footnote in one chapter of high school history class. Legitimately probably wouldn't even be on one of your tests.

Believe it or not I don't think Zegras was too worried about it while he was at NDTP.

Hockey players are generally not smart. They don't care about school cause they are only focused on hockey. A lot barely passed high-school.

This is why you should not take their opinions on things outside of hockey seriously. Looking at you Theo.

 

[Sorry]

When I got recruited for hockey at a prep school, coming from a wealthy area with great schools, it blew my mind being in the "advanced math class". I was 14 and the rest of the class was 16-17 and they basically were still trying to get through Algebra 2. Now a couple of guys in that class made the NHL and some of the girls ended up being Olympic alternates. I never looked down on them then, in fact their passion and devotion to their respective sports was inspiring. People have different priorities and strengths. Play to them. Expecting Zegras to be able to tell you about the Manhattan Project is as ignorant as him not knowing the history.

condidering this movie seems to be such a big thing, i guess 80% of ppl never heard of him and try to act now like it was a long overdue thing that they wanted for a long time

Weird post.

What has Theo stated where his opinion doesn't matter because he potentially wasn't a great high-school student? Not that I value the opinions of celebrities/athletes more than some average citizen.

Genuinely curious.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

It’s pretty useless knowledge tbh

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

tbf I had never heard of Barbie until last week. Is that weird as an American?

Yeah, extremely. So much so that I’ll say you’re absolutely lying and this is bait.

Brent Sopel wrote his 10th grade U.S. history paper “heroes of American history” on Oppenheimer….

Oh wait Sopel is Canadian. Maybe it was Western Civ
