Social NHL player under fire for refusing to wear LGBTQ jersey

[Poon Goon]

Olympic gold medalist.
Along with the entire NHL media. Just look at the quote tweets

WNBA players are more famous than this lady. She also clearly has a bias in this situation.

 

[AbominableJoman]

Good for him. Screw those nut jobs

 

[GoldenWolf87]

Shitty optics for the flyers but if the guy simply said nah ill come out for puck drop then big deal. Did he go on some homophobic tirade in the locker room ? He's the one sacrificing his warmup and was clearly willing to take the heat for his opinion .

This is becoming a slippery slope.

 

[DSOTM]

what a hero

if he was only as brave as those who wore the jersey. God bless those heroes

 

[flashNsmash]

clarke, hextall & tocchet wouldn't be caught dead in that shite

 

[flashNsmash]

to say nothing of reggie leach

Just wear the fucking jersey. No one is asking you to suck a dick, bro.

give it time

 

[eddymotto]

Just wear the fucking jersey. No one is asking you to suck a dick, bro.

... yet!

 

[Broken arrow]

So this man made a principled choice to stay in the locker room during warm up based on his religion and personal beliefs and this is something people are upset about?
This fucking world keeps getting crazier and crazier

 

[Crawler89]

if your religion is so flimsy over a fkn jersey, your religion sucks

given that its an abrahamic one, chances are the leaders hes following have sucked more cocks then mary Magdalene

 

[eddymotto]

It's a slippery slope. You know one second you're wearing a rainbow jersey then you're snapping your boys with a towel in the steaming hot locker room celebrating after the game, things get a little intense so you have to tackle a teammate and you end up face to face on the ground with nothing but a thin towel separating your manhood from his. That's when you realize wearing that rainbow jersey has changed your life forever.

I am pretty sure that this was an actual Abercrombie commercial back in the day. except maybe it was with lacrosse players

 

[uppercutbus]

both sides are the same when trying to cancel people from their jobs so we can drop it /s

 

[GtehMVP]

I wouldn't wear it either. This is not like supporting breast cancer awareness

LGTBQ+ encompasses a wide spectrum of total lunacy.

Normal gay people need to distance themselves from the deviants

 

[Spounman]

Good, I wouldn't wear that shit either

 

[Starck]

Good, it's disgusting to be coerced into a political statement as part of one's employment.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Seems similar to the Idrissa Gueye thing over here. If you don't want to wear the shirt you shouldn't have to wear the shirt.

 

[AnGrYcRoW]

Then society is fucked. No soul, no mortality. What if they were asked to wear a swastika? Where do we draw the line? The gaystapo now decides what the line is. What's next?

False equivalency is false

 

[Fox by the Sea]

very good to see a man stand by his principles.
respect.

 

[the hero]

It does have to do with the sport he is playing because his team, that he plays for, is supporting it.

It is not hard to just wear it whether you agree or disagree. Comes across pretty weak minded to make a big stink about it, frankly. Just wear it, play the game, get paid, and when you go home feel free to hate gay people.

Would you feel the same way if all the players were forced to wear a cross??

If he was a Muslim it would be a non story
