Blood money for the ignorant. Husár harshly criticizes the Slovaks in the KHL – Pravda

There are already seven of them and the number is likely to increase. While Finnish and Swedish hockey players give the KHL a basket, Slovaks flock to it.

Michal Čajkovský and Adam Liška, who also played in the KHL last season, were joined before the new year by Patrik Rybár, Christián Jaroš, Michal Krištof, Samuel Buček and, as of now, the last goalkeeper, Adam Húska. Russian aggression in Ukraine also divides the sports world, professional and fan community into two camps. The first group of hockey players to sign in Russia condemns. According to her, such players support the regime of President Vladimir Putin, as they will earn money playing hockey in “his” country, and thus indirectly approve the war. Should hockey players from the KHL be banned from representing? No, politics should not mix with sports 75.7% Yes, they have no moral right to be in the national team 23.6% The second group claims that politics should not mix with sports and that the choice of club and country where a given hockey player will play, it is his free decision. Ivan Husár also belongs to the first group. On the occasion of the anniversary of the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, the State Secretary for Sports at the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports of the Slovak Republic published a status on the social network in which he criticized Slovaks in the KHL. In the post he published before the announcement of Húsk’s contract, he describes these hockey players as heartless ignoramuses. “Six of our top hockey players have signed contracts for the KHL. For a competition that is mainly funded by state-owned companies. For a league that is a display cabinet of propaganda for the military aggressor VV Putin. They are going to work in Russia, even this league was given priority over a contract in America. They are going to earn blood money, they go hand in hand with a system that will do a lot to prove that the league is rich, that nothing sanctioned by the West has touched it,” wrote Husár. According to him, the rent that Rybár, Čajkovský and spol. after winning bronze at the Beijing Olympics. “Four hockey players won bronze at the Olympic Games in Beijing, they are legally entitled to an annuity that will give them half a million euros in 40 years – if they live to the average age of 75. All taxpayers will contribute to that annuity. All of them. Many some of them may start secretly going to the forest this winter for wood, some of them may shower their children in cold water if there is electricity in the pump. In sports, theaters, schools, hospitals, they will pray that the executioners will not come. And you, boys, you will earn a luxurious life in Russia. You will serve Putin’s propaganda. You will promote the league in the country that put your native land on the list of enemies of Russia. You are ignorant. That’s what I meant. Heartless ignorant people,” Husár added. Read more Slovaks in the KHL? I’ll just say that it’s their careers. The new KHL season will start on September 1st. Finnish Jokerit Helsinki and Latvian Dynamo Riga will no longer start in the league. Both clubs left the competition in protest against Russia’s aggression. On the other hand, in addition to the Russian clubs, the Belarusian Dynamo Minsk and the Chinese Red Star Kchun-lun will also appear in the new season. The start of Kazakh Barys Nur-Sultan is questionable.
