Former NHL executive Brian Burke has sharply criticized the league's decision to ban players from using rainbow-colored stick tape in support of the LGBTQ+ community this season.

Well now we know why he is a former
How about Israel tape in support of Israel? How about Straight White Judeo/Christian mail tape? Oh wait...
Head to the bathhouse Brian and have Brooks Orpik tape your stick for ya!
Brian must be a fag

Why does the NFL hate white people?
Why does my orange juice say cutting off tits is good?

If you look into parent companies and investments, you can’t avoid it.
I buy local produce and don’t eat junk food.

The only place this tape should be allowed is across this jerk’s mouth.
He had a gay son (who died in a car crash).
