As a former hockey player (no… I wasn’t in the nhl… I was what the guy would call “not very good at hockey,” but I still loved it), I am seriously proud of the league starting to stand up to this. This doesn’t belong in the game. Sexuality has no place centered in a professional sports league. It simply has zero relevance. There are legal protections for the community. And frankly, I’m down with gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. I’m down with trans men and women with gender dysphoria who just want to get on with their lives. All fine by me! But I wholeheartedly fucking REJECT “queer” and trans trenders. I detest TRAs. I’m sick of it being jammed into everything. It makes me not want to have anything to do with anyone flying that new monstrosity of the pride flag. The arrow bulldozing the actual rainbow flag is indicative of what I despise.

Good on ya, NHL. Cancel that shit.

Genuinely have not got the fuss about it. Someone doesn't want to wear the jersey? Fine. They don't wear it. Acting like they need to support 'the cause' and like they're genociding the LGBT by not wearing it is the most absurd take I've seen on it so far. It just feels like it's making a mountain out of a nothing story.

If they don't force everyone to go along with it most people won't give a fuck and that means no attention. Literally genocide. The fact you don't understand that means you are worse than Hitler.

I'll gladly play sports with gay people like who cares at that point? If I'm being clues into your sex life in any way beyond simple "this person is my partner" were getting into TMI territory.

Like imagine if the league made everyone where the Christian flag on their jerseys in solidarity with the shooting victims. That's going to be a problem for a bunch of people. And no not choosing to wear it doesn't mean you approve of the murder of 9 year olds. It is just insane.
