Totally forgot about Anson Carter. Brought back memories of him in Boston back in the day

This is him supporting Provorov decision then
Makima_boner
Out of sheer curiosity, if the NHL is promoting equality, hockey for everyone, then why is it such an issue that Provorov expressed his views and followed them? Is it only for certain groups that hockey is equal? Or are there different standards?
Johnnywalgger
So is he defending or attacking Provorov?

Unless that difference means religion. As soon as its religious beliefs this quote gets torn apart. I personally support LGBT communities, but i also support peoples religious beliefs. Who is the one who gets to decide what more important? Someones faith or someones sexual identity?

I am very supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. But I believe people need to leave Proporov alone. His personal beliefs have nothing to do with the sport. If he is doing something illegal based on his beliefs, then send him to jail. If he never brings them up and gets shamed because he was being forced to open up about it, I think that’s wrong.
Like I said, I support the community. But I think hockey player beliefs should not be advertised and made public like this. Instead of making jerseys and forcing people to believe in something, the organization should just take the money and donate it to a LGTBQ+ community or charity.

It’s 2023. Get with the times or get left behind as intolerant. 2 dudes banging or 2 women banging doesn’t affect my day to day life. Until everyone’s included without question then pride nights are really the only way to show support. Wear the fucking jersey ffs, grow up

Does that mean respecting someones religious belief? Or their opinion on what recently became a political matter?

Provorov has every right to do what he did, it’s not like he said “we should kill all the gays” he has every right to not wear a colourful virtue signalling jersey. This really doesn’t have to be a big issue, whatever happened to freedom of speech and expression? What he’s doing is not a hate crime #cope

No….ur RESPONSIBILITY is ON ICE support. Everything else is a CHOICE.

I mean he’s exactly right. And so is the Flyers player.

We should accept everyone no matter what? Like Nazis? Like Terrorists? Like Ethnic cleansers? Everyone has a right to say what they want and everyone has a right to not participate in every social movement. It’s not like the guy went out of his way to say he hates gay people. He just doesn’t want to wear a fucking patch. Big deal. I miss the days we went to sporting events for the sports.

I find it odd how people are making a big deal about this, yet I hardly heard anything about the NBA playing preseason games in UAE, where they will kill you for being gay.

I have a question!
Is being a good teammate a choice, or natural? Are mentally ill people choosing to be mentally ill, or is it a natural occurance in the brain?

Can this be over all ready.

Remember when this guy tried to Ruin Russo’s career by calling him racist?

This should be taught and more importantly enforced at the youth level.
There is alot of lip service but mostly just that…
