    No, not Jeremy Corbyn. Quite the opposite, in fact. Our American, and Canadian friends are actually the ones about to perform this very odd feat - the birth of a sports team. Tonight, The NHL will welcome its newest member, the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Las Vegas will be allowed to select one player from the thirty other NHL teams.Those teams could protect some of their players, but not all of them, meaning there's a wealth of talent available to the Knights. They will select their players - making sure they're under the salary cap, another fantastically socialist idea for a people so averse to the very notion - and then that will be it, a new team immediately competing with the big boys. Of course ultimately it's all about the dollars and cents, a capitalist venture through and through, but it's still pretty interesting to witness, this is the first time the NHL has added teams since 2000.
