NHL banning 'cause-based' jerseys next season
CBC Sports ^ | June 22, 2023

The NHL will not allow teams to wear "cause-based" jerseys next season, the league confirmed on Thursday.

The league's Board of Governors agreed with Commissioner Gary Bettman's view that the refusals overshadowed teams' efforts in hosting Pride nights that in some cases included auctioning off the warmup jerseys. All 32 teams held Pride or Hockey is for Everyone night.

Teams will still celebrate Pride and other theme nights, including military appreciation and Hockey Fights Cancer. They're also expected to still design and produce jerseys to be autographed and sold to raise money, even though players won't skate around with them on during warmups.

Translation: Their “pride”” crap couldn’t even be given away, and it causes a super-strong negative response among loyal fans.

They have learned the Bud-Light lesson.

Drop the puck and, “keep your stick on the ice.”

That’s the game. All of this Pride crap is just crap..

Can you be proud about supporting FAGGOTS and LESBOS?

What does Hockey have to do with those ABOMINABLE people?

Answer: I played the game and never met a faggot.

WAKE UP NHL AND FANS, WORLDWIDE!
