I guess the Broad Street Bullies is now the Broad Street Fairies!!
The NHL is very active in homosexual causes. The League is trying to separate its image as a game for played by and for white males. Minority programs are also very visible but players of color are few and certainly the same can be said of fans in attendance. This current situation is getting attention due to the beliefs of one player. The Flyers are now run by a corporation — not a strong individual like the recently deceased Ed Snider who was the primary man behind the funding and foundation of the team — and that entity’s face is Valerie Camillo who has openly hired women at least one of whom is a Lesbian. There was an article in a major daily “The Women who Run the Philadelphia Flyers” or something similar with her being glamorized. This is not going to be limited to one team. I mentioned that on FR in other hockey threads in the past. The NHL sees its expansion through women and homosexuals and they aren’t shy to advance that.
