San Jose Sharks Captain Logan Couture Says He Was Sucker Punched for Showing Support for Trump

San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture revealed on Wednesday morning that he was sucker punched last night in Toronto.  The reason, showing support for the Republican Party and mentioning President Donald Trump's name.

Couture, who is Canadian and can't vote in the November election, expressed concern for not being able to freely express his opinions without the fear of being met with violence.

He says he was specifically punched for saying that he would vote Republican if he could and mentioning that his father was a police officer.

I spent last night in Toronto Ontario. I talked about voting for the Republican Party, and I mentioned Donald Trump by name. I was sucker punched. Is this really what we are coming to? If you vote you are a villain? Man this world is so wrong

And I’ve learned that. I’ll never talk politics in public again. Just crazy to me, if you speak your own opinion violence happens. Even crazier, people are okay with it.

Craziest part is I don’t vote. I mentioned my father being a former police officer. I really don’t believe this is the world we live in

Saying my dad was a police officer and I “would” if I could vote republican.

Going around sucker punching people for their opinions could come back to bite you.  Imagine sucker punching a professional hockey player.

It sounds like whoever sucker punched Couture got lucky.  I highly doubt there are very many hockey players who wouldn't put you in the hospital for sucker punching them.
