Rick Strom breaks it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!

Conformity is the progressive way.
What’s the lefts side talking point about “safe spaces”. Dude told him to go to his safe place. What lame piece.
Totally not the same. You want to be prejudice or discriminatory, I don’t care if you’re from here or not. He’s right. Leave. I’m so tired of how these people can treat us and how they have every religious reason to do so but we can’t be just as crappy back. Over it.
This commentator needs to be fired. He’s the one with the hateful heart, he’s the one that is a bigot
Shut up and backcheck.
..over rainbows?
🙄
If we all go back to where we came from, our moms will be sore.
How did this move from NHL to Trump and why do you care? Weren't you the one that called the hockey player a bigot and pounced on his religion?
Here's an idea, we respect his right to practice his religion and leave him alone. This forced conformity to a narrow point of view is the start of censorship and ends with a facist nation. So what if he doesn't want to wear a rainbow jersey. Why tf does anyone care? He is not spewing hate, inciting violence or threatening anyone. Respect his constitutional rights and agree to disagree. We live in such a weird time where the privileges we enjoy as Americans are so accommodating that feelings are now more important than our rights. It's ok not to agree about everything with everyone as long as you're not physically hurting anyone.
You sht on the player and now you sht on the analyst shting on him? So who's shting in your cornflakes
Great hockey documentaries about Russia everyone should watch The Russian Five, the Red Army and the red penguin the sports minister the last couple years they wanted to put in a law that every two-player wouldn't be able to play in the NHL who is under the age of 30 so Alex Ovechkin would have to come back to play spray KHL team and and be put in the army
Such a shame. This seemed like a perfect opportunity for a learning moment in public.
EJ never played the game and is a total ass kissing fanboy, get a life you POS
Now you see the right and left are the exact same thing.
hockey looks like the next on the woke chopping block the last real men sport and these people just cant have that i stand by him he didnt say he hates gay people he just ant going to let you tell him how to belive or act he should have just say he wont be playing because he hurt a body part and is in pain so im going to be sitting this one out come hockey players join and fight for your sport because if you dont you will lose so many fans and other people who enjoy watching men be men
What happened to no politic in sport.
Damn old white dude told young white dude to leave America wow😂
You can respect people’s opinions
Different issues
Some guy named Toto roto rooter said sumthin naughty about Kap and that's guaranteed to put Rickys undies in a bundle !!…. 😲
He doesn't have to support something THAT GOD-JESUS IS CLEARLY AGAINST, just Like GOD-JESUS IS AGAINST All ungodliness and sin. Romans 1:18-32
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
JESUS Died On The Cross, And Rose Again To Save Us from Our sins, not to stay in them and perish and go to Hell. Mark 9:44
2 Peter 3:8-9
Ask GOD for forgiveness of your sins And That You Accept JESUS As Your LORD AND SAVIOR Because You Believe That JESUS Died On The Cross for Your sins and the sin of the World. Romans 10:9-13
John 1:29
GOD-JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL LOVE Us FOR ETERNITY, the devil doesn't. Jeremiah 31:3
John 10:10
Didn't you put a video out yesterday calling out Provorov for not participating in the warm-up with pride gear and agreeing with a statement that said he's hiding behind religion to promote his bigotry and that his religion is a "steaming pile of blank" and also agreeing that he should not be allowed to play? If you could, please explain the difference between denying him the privilege to play hockey, which is his profession and the ONLY reason he came to the US, and denying him the privilege to stay in your extremely homophobic country? Sounds like the same thing to me. How many minds have been expanded at the threat of losing their livelihood or by calling their religion sh it? I would guess about the same number as those threatened with expulsion from a country. Hypocrite much?
That so called "analyst" from. NHL network, is a moron who clearly doesn't appreciate the country he lives in. You should never have to wear a jersey or patch supporting gay people. Why are we celebrating who people have sex with in the first place? Why does it matter?
Hiding behind religion is cowardly and you see on his face there, he knows it
Using a magical sky daddy to justify your bigotry is cowardly and transparent to anyone with 2 brain cells.
All the soy boys in the comments of these pathetic ass "videos " would be truly hilarious if I wasn't so damn sad.
