They are not going to kill their family either they're not north Korea yet. Do you realize how much international news that would cause nhl players family killed for response to wearing a jersey do you realize how much that would piss off international Russians. All they have is the ablity to care about is "anti war" "propaganda" in Russia. Also a tennis player visibly came out in defense of no war and guess what his family is fine.

So... let the Russian players abstain from wearing them then.

Some teams are wearing them but allowing players to choose not to. Correct?

I am unaware of any teams that are forcing everybody to wear them (please correct me if I'm wrong). I would assume the players union would step in if a team even tried that.

Yet teams are comfortable with the blanket "nobody is wearing them" decision.

Disappointing. If players should be given the choice not to wear them, they should be given the choice TO wear them as well.
