In response to an increasing number of players engaging in silent protests against the NHL’s Pride Nights, a new report claims the league is re-evaluating the events which may lead to them being canceled.
Currently, all of the teams in the NHL hold Pride nights, however some now do so without the themed jerseys as the events are planned by the individual teams, not the league.
League commissioner Gary Bettman said in an interview with CTV News when asked about the players that have refused to wear Pride-themed jerseys this season, "This is the first time we've experienced that, and I think it's something that we're going to have to evaluate in the offseason."
Citing religious beliefs, several players have declined to participate in pre-game warmups while wearing Pride-themed jerseys.

LGBT has likely reached its peak of influence and intimidation.
Credit solely belongs to the Russian players, they were the ones with the guts to stand up, when no other players would.
So some brave men FINALLY stood up and said that nobody is going to force them to show approval for something they don’t approve of! Bravo. Let’s hope the trend spreads.
Good for them.
Somebody buy those Russian players a round of drinks!
Thank goodness! It’s like a breath of fresh air.
I had no idea
WHAT DOES ‘PRIDE NIGHT’ HAVE TO DO WITH HOCKEY???
How about a ‘catholic night’?
They probably don’t even allow a ‘Christmas night”
But I bet they would allow a “[ROP] night”
За здоровье!
Not a huge hockey fan, but if the NHL goes along with the in-your-face homo insanity I’ll effortlessly add it to the list of pro sports I no longer waste my time with.
THIS is how we defeat them.
Stand up to the PC Bullshit.
The only power they have is what we cede to them.
Absolutely. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the NHL ends up dropping this idiocy because the league’s leadership is hearing about discord in locker rooms over it.
What about the police that refuse to march in the Pride Parade? Perhaps there is relief coming for them.

If this was his idea then the “r” is superfluous. 😛
“a new report claims the league is re-evaluating the events which may lead to them being canceled.”
Finally something that DESERVES to be canceled.......about damn time.
Movements start with little things, even a single person.
May it spread far and wide until sodomy is again relegated to the filthy lifestyle it is.
Nothing except alienate a segment of your customers - which they (owners) seem to have no problem with.
I guess they have all the $$$ they want.
Corporations rule sports.
