On Saturday night, the Capitals and Florida Panthers faced off, with Washington holding its annual Pride Night before the game. (Cue the justified boos and eye rolls).

That means that many players decided to put rainbow tape on their sticks as a show of support. But Ovechkin, and several others, decided not to. They skated onto the ice with their sticks looking normal as most reasonable people would do.

This ‘mandatory show of player support” should not be going on with ANY particular cause. The players are being paid to play. They don’t give up their intellectual independence once they join a team. If they wish to sponsor something during their own time, go for it, but enough trying to force athletes to walk in lockstep over controversial issues.

Russians thankfully refuse to stand up and support global homo faggotry.

Biden’s homos would have deported the players.
