Flyers coach John Tortorella on Thursday reiterated his support of defenseman Ivan Provorov’s decision to not wear a Pride Night jersey during warmups Tuesday night, skipping warmups altogether.
Provorov, 26, cited his Russian Orthodox beliefs in explaining why he did not partake.

Stop! You are heading for the abyss! Maybe at least a Russian guy will open your eyes???
Good that some one stands up for his beliefs.
Btw, lgbtq dosen't need more awareness
Stop with this agenda..
If they only cared about starving kids around the world as much as they do about the lgbtq agenda.
I support Ivan. So no to woke
Cancel ass raping pedophilia
Sid Seixeiro lost it on breakfast television in Canada what a loser he is
It is surprising that in a country that prided itself on freedom of speech, which was a stronghold of democracy in the New World, people are afraid to share their beliefs. Unity of opinion is totalitarianism. Under the pretext of freedom, the left has led the US to totalitarianism, now the most common honest statement is admired.
Now I would like to appeal to those who say that this action was about respect for LGBT people.
Homosexual or heterosexual or any other orientation cannot be a reason for respect or disrespect for a person.
We can respect or not respect a person, evaluating his deeds and achievements. You need to respect people, their opinions, these opinions can be different.
When a person cannot refuse to wear a T-shirt because he is afraid of public condemnation, this is called coercion, and this is a sign of a totalitarian state.
If Provorov did not violate any sports rules, then why on earth should he be put on the bench?
Ivan👏👏👏 Tortorella 🙏
Иван Проворов Воин, он истинно Русский Православный, который.за Веру, за Христа, Спасибо ему, и Слава!!!!! 🇷🇺👍💪
FUCK YES TORTS!!!!
Если бы Иван, одел бы футболку с символикой ЛГБТ, то в России, он стал бы изгоем, от него отвернулись бы друзья.
There might be legal action taken against LGBTQ pushing their ideas of a sexual harassment charge.
A pride night for awareness? Are we supposed to pretend that it's not being forced fed to everyone all the time.
Provorov is a real man who is not afraid, he is simply Russian and has a Russian soul, in which there is no place for the abomination that they are trying to stick into him. I, as a Russian, it is not surprising that he did so, any Russian would do so, without hatred he refused the abomination. I don’t know guys, you have an alien mentality for Russians like our mentality is alien to you. but we do not impose our own, but keep it in our souls.
Americans are pussies, they needed a Russian to speak up for them!
I want Brooksie to ask him about this. 😂
We are being forced to accept stuff that is contrary to our beliefs. I don't care what people do or don't – but don't force your beliefs on the bigger audience that don't care for it!
