Well we know there aren't any Bible believing Christians in the Oilers locker room. Good for Provorov standing for what he believes in! Isn't the LGBT community doing literally the same thing? It is also pathetic that these questions are even being asked to him in this setting. Stick to hockey questions boys lol
Accepting something and being forced to do something are two very different things. I don't know a single homophobe but I do know countless people sick of having "Pride" used as branding and having it pushed down everyone's throat. It's accepted into society. Time to move on. You will create the opposite effect by shoving it in everyone's face to the point of discontent.
These guys are athletes playing hockey which has nothing to with the lgbt community, and this is a free country so it's okay to have different beliefs. I don't personally support the LGBT community, but I would never attack them either. How about we keep these questions to hockey related issues
Russians take their culture and beliefs very serious. Its crazy how big of a deal someone not participating in something can be. I don’t see the league or media making a big deal out of Ovechkin openly supporting Putin. If Ivan not participating in something that goes against his religion and culture means he has no respect for the LGBQT community and its a hate thing than I guess Ovechkin has no respect for and hates all Ukrainian’s because he openly supports someone who has made them suffer through war and ruined countless innocent peoples lives. Thats how people want to look at things I guess. Such a shame Ivan has to deal with such nonsense. Its like celebrating or not celebrating christmas or believing in god or not believing in god and being told your beliefs/cultures/religion doesn’t matter and you should just change it all to make others feel better. Its a joke what the world has become.
Listen …it's a business to agree n make these idiots go away …deep down inside ..everyone is racist n homophobic ..every color every creed ..just to different degree ..and anyone that disagrees ..guess what ..your a liar …n full of B.S. ….n it's all a bunch of crap that's being politically correct is going to ignite very violent times in the future ..the awake will continue to arise n fight for complete freedom from all this wokeness garbage
I hope Provy realizes that the only people who will be angry at him for this are insufferable sports bloggers and the very online rainbow mafia, most of whom aren’t even fans of hockey.
⛪️ keep your religion away from me 🌈😭
🌈🤬 If you don’t wear the rainbow jersey, you should be publicly flogged!
What an absolute joke the NHL has become! This is nothing but woke virtue signalling being shoved down our throats and the players being used as political pawns. It’s nice to see a professional athlete have the guts and dare I say BALLS to stand up to this BS.
media is a joke lets see who can be the most woke. how about a few hrs away from nonsense – so can simply see sport/athletes vs reflect on their uniforms & politics

Stop asking dumb questions, stick to hockey.
Lol to jump the players with these insane questions is just pathetic.
Nice question Rishaug…yeesh!
Doesn’t pride already have their own month? The NHL is gonna lose fans if they keep pushing this nonsense
Well said young man.
“How much does it help out when all the lines are contributing?”
It helps a lot. Anybody can answer that right. You don’t have to play hockey or even watch it to know that that’s a good thing. Ask a better question.
Leave Politics out of Sports

terrible question
This is pathetic, stick to hockey and quit making them all comment on political things, their hockey players not social activists.

No comment would be appropriate for questions that relate to anything except hockey. !!!
More stupid questions go to Philly Ryan
We need Klimt to get these reporters to say new things
Love me some Connor. Very respectful and empathetic answer. 👌 ❤
Holy why does McDavid care about what happened with proverov, it doesn't affect him like why do they need to ask such stupid questions
I hope Provy realizes that the only people who will be angry at him for this are insufferable sports bloggers and the very online rainbow mafia, most of whom aren’t even fans of hockey.

Those were some pretty loaded questions…good job Connor
Mad respect for provorov.
When is the Edmonton media gonna throw kostin under the bus?? These suckers need to go away. Media sucks.
Not that kinda snow plow connor lol 😆
Too much politics in sports now a days. They all expect provy to support their beliefs but no one considers his beliefs.
Typical Oilers media, face to face with a hockey icon and you give him baitey questions in hopes of a headline answer.
What you’re doing is phenomenal.. ❤ more success to your team..🎉
Rishaug usually good. But now lately he’s been annoying
media is a joke lets see who can be the most woke. how about a few hrs away from nonsense – so can simply see sport/athletes vs reflect on their uniforms & politics
Boycott the nhl
Connor sure handles the same stupid questions. Good job
Go Oilers Go
