Media and LGBTQ advocates made a mountain out of a handful of players not participating in Pride night among about 500 players who did and casts the entire NHL as intolerant. This is what happens when they’re put in a no win situation.
The special nights will continue, just no warmup jersey. Move along

Good and this goes for all the other ones too. Just keep it the game of hockey, the sport and reason we watch it without judgement.

Really fucking shitty and classless move by the shittiest league in the country. Those jerseys cause absolutely no harm and contribute to much more than just LGBT communities.

Are they getting rid of hockey fights cancer?
That kind of sucks tbh

Rather than stand up to criticism they ran like cowards.

Just because this stops, doesn’t mean you can’t instead just donate to whatever cause you want.

I agree that we should stop making Athletes poster childs for every cause under the sun. Just let them play sports. They should no longer be your moral compass.

Oh no.

Coward shit yo.
Fucking MLB plays entire games in their Pride, Military Appreciation ect ect jerseys. Last week the Dodgers had a Pride night, and their opponents were wearing Pride jerseys.

Good. I pay to see NHL hockey not players forced to make statements, of any kind. And while we’re at it, how about doing away with playing the national anthem? It’s a stupid jingoistic tradition that has nothing to do with the game, players, team or league.

Tbh, I don’t care

Of course because this is Reddit the title is misleading. Reality is tough and facts are hurtful, I get it. But fact is ALL warm up jerseys are going away.
It’s good though. All the stupid virtue signaling the league did by having a jersey night for every group that is supposedly so maligned and hated did nothing. Despite their efforts it didn’t help ratings one bit, which isn’t shocking.
But those virtue signal points will surely add up over these years!

Profit?
Fuck, Dana White was bang on, this league of old people can’t get out of its own fucking way.
