Something is happening as corrupt sports league try desperately to go woke. Players are refusing to participate. A few weeks ago Philadelphia Flyers player Ivan Provorov triggered the left by refusing to wear the “pride” jersey in warmups. Provorov cited religious reasons for refusing to wear the warmup jersey.
But this time it was an entire team, the New York Rangers of the NHL who refused to wear the “pride” warmup jerseys. The statement released by the Rangers explains their reasoning:
“Our organization respects the LGBTQ+ community, and we are proud to bring attention to important local community organizations as part of another great Pride Night. In keeping with our organization’s core values, we support everyone’s individual right to respectfully express their beliefs.”
and right on cue, Marxist, NYC Pride threw a tantrum:
“In recent years, numerous National Hockey League (NHL) franchises including the New York Rangers have introduced a series of ‘Pride Nights’ to engage the LGBTQ+ community.
“NYC Pride has been honored to take part in these celebrations, including as recently as last night at Madison Square Garden. NYC Pride was not made aware in advance of our participation in last night’s ceremonial puck drop that Pride jerseys and rainbow tape would not be worn as advertised. We understand and appreciate that this has been a major disappointment to the LGBTQ+ community in New York and beyond.
It’s very simple. DON’T FORCE YOUR VIEWPOINT ON OTHERS. Sports isn’t politics and should be free of indoctrination. It used to be and people are getting fed up with the politicization of sports.
