I think they do, too. But ... so what, right? If it's a "choice," why does that make it OK to be "against" said choice? Inter-racial marriage is a choice. It’s a “choice” that goes against God’s will. This isn’t new. I get that that's what they say. But what if someone said the same about inter-racial marriage? What if someone said the same about Black and white kids going to school together? Playing sports together? |

Lets frame it this way then, if it was a Muslim and not a Russian, would liberal hockey Twitter still want him benched tarred and feathered? Or would that fall under Islamaphobia?

If it was inter-racial marriage night and a player opted out on "religious" grounds, would that be acceptable to YankeeFan and others here? |

1. It’s pretty funny to me that they celebrated Pride by wearing rainbow jerseys during warmups. Why? Who the fuck is even in their seats during warmups to witness this brave show of allyship? If you're going to support Pride, wear the jerseys during the fucking game, and then auction off the signed jerseys to raise money for charity. This is a half measure to make everyone feel good. |

Is not wearing a jersey really “bigotry” though? Im genuinely asking. Hes not saying round em up in camps, take away rights, starve em, whatever. Hes just not really wanting to wear the shirt. Should this really be a big deal? And I'm asking: What if they were wearing jerseys in support of inter-racial marriage on "religious" grounds? Would that be acceptable, as well? Why is it OK to be "against" same-sex marriage/coupling? I don't disagree with you, but compelling people to show their support for something is kind of odd too. Not publicly supporting is not the same as being against, right? Can you just be neutral? Or not interested in supporting the current thing? |

I think teams frequently do things like this, though, no? Weren't there a lot of "Black Lives Matter" warm-ups worn? Your point is well-taken, though. |

You guys seem to think there is something "different" about same-sex marriage or relationships, but no one seems to be able to articulate that difference.

Would it be "acceptable" for someone to be against inter-racial marriage? No. Not for me. Should a hockey player be compelled to wear a jersey proclaiming support for inter-racial marriage? Probably not. We're all free to draw our own conclusions based on what the person does or doesn't do. But, again, it's a weird thing. No one would expect a player to wear a pro-life or pro-Second Amendment jersey. And, some of us think not supporting a defenseless life in the womb is every bit as bad as not supporting gay marriage and/or interracial marriage. |

I think teams frequently do things like this, though, no? Weren't there a lot of "Black Lives Matter" warm-ups worn? Your point is well-taken, though. I think those were mostly player initiated moves, that were informal, even if they were unanimous. And, at the time, they got a lot of attention. Absent this guy not wearing the jersey, and activating the Streisand effect, who would even know this had happened? TV doesn't show warmups. So, a few people who got to the arena early enough to take a piss, buy a beer, and get to their seat in time for warmups saw it? Must have made a hell of an impact. I'm sure the NHL has provisions for throwback jerseys, and 3rd jerseys. Did they seek permission to wear the jerseys during the actual game? (And, if not, why not?) |

A lot of people got so, so mad when LeBron wore an “I can’t breathe” T-shirt during warmups. |

Not nearly as flamboyant as I expected. And, not nearly as bad as the long pants the Flyers introduced -- and were subsequently banned -- during the '80s. :format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24367944/1246313042.jpg) |
