It’s Friday! That means Touchdowns & Fumbles is coming up at the end of the show.
Here’s the item we’d like your vote on:
Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to compete at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Alberta next month - because of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
An international tribunal just ruled that Russia should be reinstated to international sports competitions, first and foremost with the world juniors. But Carney says Canada will use its immigration controls to bar the Russian players from entering the country.
In response, Russia says Canada is just doing this to engineer a win at the tournament, by ensuring our biggest competitor doesn’t even get on the ice.
Is this a communications play a Touchdown or a Fumble?
Is Carney sending a strong message to Russia - and to the world - that it’s not business as usual as long as the war against Ukraine continues? - VOTE TOUCHDOWN.
Or is it just being petty - defying the court ruling that says Russia should be allowed to play. Does the Russian message work - that we’re just doing anything we can to try and win the tournament? - VOTE FUMBLE.
Bob Reid of Broadway Strategy will join Jerry Agar at 11:50am. We’ll have your vote results and get his take on this and other Communications Plays of the Week on Touchdowns and Fumbles.
