The legendary goalkeeper of the Czech Republic, Detroit and » Spartak» with anti-Russian statements bothered everyone even at home. Local journalist Adam Forate criticized the ex-hockey player, noting that the Czech Republic does not need such politicians. But whether this will stop the insane Hasek is a big question.
Cech descended to attacks on Ovechkin's son The two-time Stanley Cup winner, who previously played in Russia for Spartak, has been making frankly Russophobic statements for the past year and a half, and the degree of insanity is growing every time. He opposed the arrival of Russian NHL hockey players for exhibition matches in Prague last year and generally called on world sports to completely exclude Russia everywhere and for a long time. he spent his career at Spartak, earning «dirty money». The fact that he was laughed at even in his native country spoke of how great the goalkeeper in the past had lost touch with reality. Perhaps, his negativity peaked during the NHL All-Star Game, where nine Russians were invited at once.
However, this was not the fact that worried him the most. Dominic went so far as to pounce on the son of Washington star Alexander Ovechkin, Sergei, who won the contest for the most spectacular shootout. The NHL's seemingly sweet initiative couldn't anger a normal person, but this was about Hasek. this heinous act is a spit on Ukrainian children,» the former goalkeeper wrote on social media.
It was the last straw even for the head of the NHL Gary Bettman. Tom, obviously, tired of Hasek's endless attacks with or without reason. Here, obviously, the Czech attacked not only Ovechkin and his son, but the entire league that held this competition and awarded little Sergey.
“Dominik Hasek has been an active critic for the past year. I do not think that it reflects the position of the Czech people or the authorities of the country. And, by the way, I do not agree with him,» Ilta-Sanomat quotes Bettman.
Hashek was lowered to the groundBut even this did not stop the legendary goalkeeper. He continued to criticize Russia, our hockey players and in general everything connected with our country. Unfortunately, some forces in Europe helped him in this. Hasek was even given the opportunity to speak at a meeting of the European Parliament, which will be held on July 11 in Strasbourg. Dominic promises to make a speech there, in which he will call for Russia not to be allowed to compete at any level.
It's good that there was someone who could publicly state how crazy Hasek was. This role was taken by the Czech journalist Adam Foreit, who spoke rather carefully, but at the same time criticized most of the ideas of the ex-goalkeeper. as they allegedly promote Russia. Hasek also recently admitted that he is considering a political career in the future. To be honest, I'm not sure that this is a good idea. As much as I trust Hasek's stubborn beliefs, he has long lacked a broader vision. Like you can see, he exaggerates the less important. We don't need more politicians like that,» Extra.cz quoted the journalist as saying.
Hashek has finally been put in his place. In fact, many of his compatriots held a similar point of view, they just expressed it on social networks, and here a public person made a public statement. It looks like Dominic's political ambitions have been dealt the first blow.
