The NHL Is Gutless

The National Hockey League showed recently that there’s a big difference between wanting inclusiveness and being willing to fight for it

“Participants must be 18 years of age or older, based in the U.S., and identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability. Veterans are also welcome and encouraged to attend.”

Doesn’t sound all to inclusive to me

[ConservativeInPA]

Isn’t that illegal? If it isn’t then all of these so-called victims need to STFU when someone posts an ad for white male Christians.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Isn't the key "identify as"?

I IDENTIFY as identify as a female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander LGBTQIA+. With a strong emphasis on the "+" which means I'm actually a SWM.

I dare them to keep me out.

Rather than take a bold stand against DeSantis—who’s vying to be the GOP’s most prominent anti-“woke” warrior—the NHL buckled.

LOL! Governor DeSantis kicked them in the teeth!

How dare they exclude me?

NHL is kicking them in the teeth

As a Southern boy I was beginning to like hockey and began the process of learning the game. Couple of years. If this woke BS continues: ADIOS.

New York Rangers DITCH wearing LGBTQ-themed warmup jerseys and rainbow tape on Pride Night.

Wow. Might there be a backlash against the NHL's forced virtue signaling?

I'm sure the NHL's Diversity Kommissar, Kim Davis, is none too pleased.

The NHL commissioner’s office is loaded with homosexuals. The players themselves probably flatly refused to wear the gay jerseys.

[PGR88]

Desantis rightly called them out on it.

[JudyinCanada]

Since when do they ask you personal questions when you attend a hockey game? If everyone who pays for a ticket is allowed in to watch, isn’t that including everyone?

[Alberta's Child]

The author of this slop ought to realize that the NHL really doesn't give a sh!t about "inclusiveness," whatever the hell that means.

Anything they do to promote that crap is just a measure they take to pander to their corporate sponsors. That's why they don't fight very hard for it.

Hockey is a real sport, despite the best attempts by the corporate world to destroy it.

[liberalh8ter]

Don't you just love how the media frames DeSantis’ common sense statement that Florida will not allow any discrimination, which includes the aforementioned group, as being a “senseless battle”?

[Mears]

This is s about NHL staff , not fans.

Isn’t that illegal?

Apparently the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has been repealed without anyone noticing. Companies, organizations and government agencies are openly saying, “straight white men need not apply.”

[Allegra]

Maybe white males should refuse to attend NHL games. Let’s see how big the crowds are then and how robust the concession sales are.

[bankwalker]

too many sissified white males out there right now ...

Not only did they do that, but halfway through the first period, in a TV timeout, they played Ram Jam’s classic, “ Black Betty.” Don’t think anyone noticed.

[Altura Ct.]

How about he best players get to play
