San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture says he was sucker-punched in Toronto on Tuesday night for talking politics.
Couture wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning that he talked about voting for the Republican Party and “mentioned Donald Trump by name.” While he didn’t provide many details, he claims he was punched for sharing his thoughts.
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

Sharks forward Evander Kane spoke out about racism back in May, and Couture offered his thoughts in support of his teammate.
