There's been a trend this NHL season that has nothing to do with the sport's on-ice product. Several teams have announced plans to hold Pride Nights, during which players wear jerseys celebrating the LGBTQ+ community either during warmups or games -- or both.

But many of those plans have been scraped by teams after being made public. The most recent example came on March 7, when Minnesota Wild players chose to not wear special Pride Night jerseys that had been designed.

Below is a deeper dive into why this is happening among NHL teams.

I don’t believe religious, God-fearing players should be forced to endorse sexual deviancy and child rape. The NHL and AHL need to knock off this sexual deviancy bull****. If I had kids, I would not take them to the hockey game on fag night. It’s not healthy for them.

Those nasty Ruskies. The have perverted the entire NHL.

The attempted message is clear, if you are not 100% supportive of LGBTQ+ you are a Putin puppet. Probably worse than Hitler.

The hypocrisy of this is lost on the woke, who believe that their bigotry is righteous.

We use Gmail at work. The standard Google Calendar holidays include the “first day of LGBT+ pride month.” I’ve looked into how to get this irrelevant and offensive holiday removed, but you can’t.

My best friend growing up was an avid hockey fan along with his dad. We'd frequently attend local games here in Texas - Fort Worth AND Dallas both had a team with well-maintained venues. And they were always well-attended.

That's how popular hockey was in the 70's.
