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.

Several journalists attacked the Russian-native for his decision.

As a New Jersey Devils fan I always hated the Flyers, but I also had to grudgingly respect their colorful and storied history.
Satan never criticizes his own…
I often wondered what exactly are they proud of? What is their great achievement that they proudly march for?
The only thing I could come up with is that they are males who like to take it up their asses.
I know that’s a bit crude but that’s the unvarnished truth.
