The NHL fined Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman $4,250 for gesturing the middle finger to Edmonton Oilers winger Evander Kane.
The incident rocked the NHL during Tuesday night’s game between the Wild and the Oilers. While the incident caused a stir, the reaction of Kane’s ex-wife, Anna Kane, garnered significant attention.
Evander Kane has previously been accused of physical and se*ual abuse and betting on NHL games by Anna Kane. She expressed her support for Hartman’s actions on Instagram.
Her Instagram story read, “Stay blessed,” with a white heart emoji, and she contributed $200 to Hartman’s fine, writing, “Fine,” with emojis.
While some may consider Hartman’s gesture to be unprofessional or unsportsmanlike, many fans have supported him and Anna Kane’s contribution to the fine.
Kane’s troubled past and ongoing legal battles have polarised him in the NHL. Some fans and teammates are calling for him to be suspended or expelled from the league.
The incident also emphasizes the complicated relationship between personal and professional behavior in sports. While the NHL has strict on-ice rules, players’ off-ice behavior can seriously affect their careers and reputations.
Kane’s legal problems and controversial past have drawn unwanted attention to the league and cast doubt on his future.
Hartman’s gesture, while immature, has come to represent the frustration of many fans who are tired of seeing players with questionable off-ice behavior continue to play in the league.
Kane’s ex-contribution wife’s to the fine also speaks to the more significant debate about how women are treated in sports and the role of athletes in standing up to abuse.
It’s unclear what the long-term consequences of this incident will be for Kane and the NHL. One thing is certain: the debate over personal and professional conduct in sports is far from over.
