Ivan Provorov jerseys sell out days after NHL player refuses to wear LGBT pride jersey
Washington Examiner ^ | January 19, 2023 | Luke Gentile

Jerseys for Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov have sold out online days after the 26-year-old refused to wear a gay pride-themed jersey for religious reasons.

Both NHL Shop and Fanatics have listed Provorov's jerseys as "almost gone," and there are no longer any men's jerseys with his name and number available.

On Fanatics, the defenseman is listed as having the most popular men's jersey, women's jersey, and sweatshirt, and his Branded Backer shirt is being advertised as the most popular seller related to the Philadelphia Flyers, according to the online store.

Provorov was blasted by legacy media outlets for refusing to wear an LGBT-themed warm-up jersey during his team's Tuesday night game against the Anaheim Ducks.

"I respect everybody. I respect everybody’s choices," the hockey player said following the match.

Provorov told reporters pushing the issue that he is Russian Orthodox, and he did not wear the jersey for religious reasons.

"My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion," Provorov said.

Several journalists attacked the Russian-native for his decision.

Why exactly should anyone be forced to endorse other people sex practices? To say nothing of deviant disgusting feces smeared sex practices? Gays literally define themselves by what they do with their peepee, I mean who the hell does that?

Huh, people don’t like it when someone is forced to NOT follow their religion.

It’s almost as if they are some sort of rebellious insurrectionists who do not accept Prince Harry’s assertion that the First Amendment is “bonkers”.

It’s almost as if their country had fought a war for freedom of religion...

What I meant was how would the media react to a Muslim rejecting PRIDE jerseys?

He is being hounded for not taking the new millenium loyalty oath to our new masters, the LGBTQXZY crowd. If you don’t bow down to them they attempt to make your life miserable.

"Nothing scares me more than any human being who says, 'I'm not doing this because of my religious beliefs,'" Canadian anchor Sid Seixeiro said. "Because when you looked at people's lives who normally say that [publicly], you'd throw up at what you saw. ... Don't feed me the religious beliefs line."

I guess he would like it better if some said "I am doing this because of my religious beliefs"

"Allah Akbar!"

That's not enough. You have to be good at kicking a ball, or running fast.

“Tell me again, what exactly are they “proud” of?”

Whatever it is they’re admittedly (at least) four times more likely to kill themselves than anyone else.

“LGBTQ youth are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers (Johns et al., 2019; Johns et al., 2020).”
