[who knows what evil?]

God Almighty takes a very dim view of ‘pride’.

The NHL is desperate not to be perceived as a sport for white males only. Many teams have succumbed to this theory in the hiring process. Women especially are proponents of the homosexual outreach within the walls of the NHL.

“The NHL is desperate not to be perceived as a sport for white males only”

I get that however considering the player makeup of the nfl and nba, the NHL should give the finger to anyone who doesn’t like it.

Do best players play regardless of league or not?

If they really had any “pride”, the LGBTQ whatever would not have to advertise themselves...They would just go on with their lives like everyone else....

So, the NHL brass have not destroyed hockey yet?

[FlingWingFlyer]

The NHL is really screwing the pooch by allowing itself to became the number one pimp for sexual deviancy. I’m a hockey fan and I know a lot of hockey fans. Haven’t heard one of them yet declare how fabulous it is that hockey has decided to be a sponsor for the pedophile child molesters, homosexuals, trannies and drag queens.

Is this about recruiting for the Gay Men's Pair Figure Skating?

From 2006:

Yeah...they do figure skating...although every time I watched that I wished some guy would come out and check them into the boards!

The Chicago Blackhawks will not wear Pride-themed warmup jerseys before Sunday's Pride Night game against the visiting Vancouver Canucks because of security concerns involving a Russian law that expands restrictions on activities seen as promoting LGBTQIA+ rights in the country.

Huh? A Russian law? Are they playing the game in Moscow?

Regardless, good for the Blackhawks. When did the National Hockey League become the National Gay Hockey League?!

[dfwgator]

Since the Corporations demanded it.

[Drew68]

Ha, ha! It has nothing to do with a Russian law. They simply don’t want the fans to boo loudly enough to be heard throughout the country.

This.

It's also an unambiguous ethnic insult to the Russian players on the team. "You people are the reason we can't do this!"

[crusty old prospector]

The Stars wore the fag warmup jerseys on Tuesday. I didn’t see much of the pregame so I was curious if the Russians wore them.

[ifinnegan]

“ The reasoning is that the Blackhawks currently have three players on their roster of Russian descent or who have family in Russia—defenseman Nikita Zaitsev, forward Philipp Kurashev and goaltender Anton Khudobin. Zaitsev and Khudobin were born”

I had to infer this. You’d think they could say this in the first paragraph.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Indeed. I figured that would be the only reason because I knew Khudobin is Russian...but I had to look it up to be sure.

...the fights don’t include slapping and biting.

...or cutting remarks!

"More proof of how pathetic our country has bowed down to 1% of the population. 1 FCKN PERCENT!"
Many more than that have been programmed to support sodomy.
