Canadian Broadcaster Blasts Religious People, Wants NHL to Fine Flyers $1M for Allowing Player to Opt-Out of Gay Pride Night
Breitbart ^ | 01-19-2023 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Canadian broadcaster Sid Seixeiro mercilessly attacked Christians and insisted that the NHL punish the Philadelphia Flyers for allowing player Ivan Provorov to refuse to participate in the team’s gay pride night on Tuesday.

Seixeiro was infuriated when Provorov refused to don a gay pride jersey and sat out the team’s warm-ups ahead of Tuesday’s game, citing his Russian Orthodox beliefs as his reason.

After the game, the 26-year-old Provorov told reporters that he “respects” everyone, but his religion prevents his participation in gay pride demonstrations.

At heart, there’s no such thing as irreligious. You just have a different God, which is leftism. How can you be for inclusiveness, choice, live and let live, gay marriage doesn’t affect you, etc. etc., and THEN demand that somebody affirm and participate in an activity they have a conscientious objection to? Mandating it is nothing but authoritarianism under the banner of an ideology, which is exactly what the left accuses Christians of being - while it’s completely the opposite.

It only took about 25 years to go from: “we just want to love who we love in the privacy of our own home....”

To: “F**** you Christians and if you don’t participate, we are going to take all your money and throw you in jail.”

Well said. And true.

I will not back down from being intolerant and hostile to the evil ones.

The Talmud has a passage in the Ecclesiastes commentary:

Those who are kind to the cruel
in the end will be cruel to the kind.

Never cared for hockey. Soccer on ice with violence.

Good for you. But that's not the issue here.

The NHL brought this crap on itself when it embarked on these idiotic political/cultural virtue-signaling campaigns.

Its hypocritical to demand the NHL "stand firm" when every other sport, every large corporation, every government agency, nearly all education institutions, etc... - are all on the gay-promotion bandwagon.

Like all of us individuals, the NHL needs to survive in a corrupt world where the means of their survival are controlled by ideologues and central planners in government

It is the jersey, not a ribbon.

I would not wear the homo jersey because I am not a homo. It has gone from "what goes on in our bedroom is our business" to "you SHALL worship our sodomy". Well I don't worship their sodomy. I would not wear a muslim jersey and I would not wear a pedophile jersey.

Todd Starnes has a concise and helpful narrative in his book The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again (and great stuff in God Less America) about the phony stance by gays about just wanting to add the love between gay partners to the world by marriage. After many states went to the trouble of petition drives and votes by the legislatures to assure marriage defined as allowed legally for “one man and one woman” the Supreme Court ended that freedom and demanded gay marriage in all states.

Then the gays put pre-arranged plans into force to deliberately put bakers and others out of business by having phony injured by discrimination gay couples go to court, knowing the amounts of the fines and that out of court settlements and legal costs would financially ruin the owners who were Christians. Not adding love and that stuff——a political vendetta.

True, but I have come to the conclusion most people and many here just don’t the stomach for any sort of conflict let alone a real fight. Too many of us have been brainwashed with the ‘we have to be good people’ mantra of middle class white bourgeois culture. Krushchev was right about many of us that ‘you won’t even fight when your life depends on it’.

“And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” - Revelation 6:2

What if the bow John describes is not a war bow that one shoots arrows, but a rainbow?

You want force someone to wear paraphernalia for one agenda, then you wear paraphernalia for ALL causes.

Then we would all be walking around looking like ghetto pimps with all these chains around our necks.

Oh, so this bastard was Canadian.

I heard his tirade on radio today. Wondered who exactly this was.

So we have to be forced to support every pogrom that has nothing to do with the sport?

Whatever happened to “tolerance” being enough? (Which was a non-sequitur anyway.). Nope, must celebrate and show it off and advertise it.

“It is the jersey, not a ribbon.”

I believe he was referring to this.

Agree...there was a reason they crucified Christ. It wasn’t because he was a criminal, he had done nothing wrong. It was because they HATED him - both the orthodoxy of the day and the authorities. Just as the left would crucify PDJT if they could get away with it.

Christ was no wimp. We built him up as an image of “peace and love” like sort of hippie pacifist. We interpret it as being “agreeable to get along”. Yet he SAID he was here to divide, that his message will split friends and family....”carry a sword”. We are devolving at an accelerated rate, it can’t go on.

Maybe people such as Ivan Provorov should be thrown into prison camps or mental institutions. Faithful Russian Orthodox have been gone through that before.
