The San Jose Sharks’ Pride Night, which took place Saturday at SAP Center, was supposed to be a fun and meaningful event. The team created a Pride warmup jersey, served up rainbow-colored sushi and partnered with Adolescent Counseling Services, a local nonprofit that supports LGBTQIA+ youth.

But the evening was marred earlier in the day when Sharks goalie James Reimer announced via an official statement that he would not be taking part in the festivities and refused to wear the Pride-themed warmup jersey.

Other NHL teams have had to cancel similar Pride-themed jersey plans after players refused to wear them. However, those cancellations were partially believed to be caused by Russian players fearing for their safety in their autocratic home nation, where homophobia is official state law.


Russian collusion!

If they really had any “pride”, the LGBTQ whatever would not have to advertise themselves...They would just go on with their lives like everyone else....

My friends sports is business. The first business of business IS business. Just what does taking it up the butt have to do with business? I’m glad these people are standing up but it’s a losing battle until more good men do the same.

LGBTQIA+ youth.

What happens to those who identify with old pronouns or whatever? Or - OR X?? I don’t feel safe.

Why are the San Jose Sharks grooming children into that depraved lifestyle?

‘If they really had any “pride”, the LGBTQ whatever would not have to advertise themselves’
There in lies the rub. It must be flaunted out front in public because the inner insecurities of the LGBTQ’ers ‘needs’ the validation. Good for the goalie not bending the knee to this immorality on parade.

From the article: But the evening was marred earlier in the day...

Marred?

No, the evening was marred when groomers used televised sports to attempt to groom children in the arena and television audience.

You may not be familiar with the gay network boycotts if those organizations don’t feel sufficiently respected. We need people like this goalie taking a stand but we need even more people boycotting teams, sponsors and organizations which fold to the gay lobby and those people not being shy at expressing the reason behind the boycotts.
