    I applaud the sentiment, but it feels forced. And with all the dum dums losing their mind over it, seems like the NHL needs to rethink this.

    I just like the rainbow logos lol, not sure why people have fits about them.

    Why is it the players and teams’ responsibility to make you feel better about yourself?

    And while we’re at it. When is straight night

    Just let the players that support it wear it and the ones that don’t don’t wear it. Players can have whatever views they want šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

    Edit: Jesus christ, I support the cause and would rather they do it, but if the choice is none or some players who are choosing to support it… which would you rather have?

    Iā€™m so happy all this nonsense is finally coming to an end. Get rid of pride night altogether. LGTBQ fans are welcome at every game, just like everyone else.

    I love to see it i hope all the nhl does it

    Itā€™s all stupid virtue signaling anyways. If a player wants to flex rainbow jerseys. Fine, but stop making this a team wide thing. Itā€™s just dumb.

    I donā€™t understand the people who make such a big deal about Pride Warmup Jerseys. They argue that teams and the NHL need to keep politics out of hockey. Okay, well why donā€™t the same said people complain when teams honor the military?

  9. Celestial_Mycology

    I agree with the notion that somebody shouldnā€™t be forced to wear or ā€œsupportā€ something they donā€™t believe in.

    God forbid the players have to wear a rainbow logo for 20 minutes that then gets auctioned off for charity. Didnā€™t think I needed another reason to dislike the wild, but here it is.

  11. Itā€™s been confirmed, the Wild hates dey gehs

  12. Elusive_Goose85

    Iā€™m not sure how to react here. I want the league and the sport to feel inclusive. I also donā€™t want anyone to feel like a sideshow.

    gotta say, I donā€™t really give a shit either way man

  15. NikkiRocker

    So much for the NHL being ā€œinclusiveā€.

  16. comacove

    None of this pride stuff is sincere on the part of team owners, so who gives a shit, same with this whole acknowledging the land farce some teams got going on. These are all things for teams to keep up with the topic du jour and not get “cancelled”. Bet players can feel how forced this all looks and, even if they support it, it’s getting to be a bit much.

  17. Lee-HarveyTeabag

    I mean, the easiest thing to do would be to not have any sort of ā€œappreciation nights.ā€ Because the inverse is a jersey for every possible occasion.

    My dislike for things has less to do about the thing and more to do about the attempt to force me to like it.

  19. No-Wrongdoer972

    As a gay man, I really don’t care. Performative compliance is wholly uninteresting to me.

  20. enditallalready2

    I wonder if these decisions are by owners, general managers, or by the players.

  21. Alan_Stanwyk

    Forcing this on the players just seems backwards Offer the jerseys in the pro shops, if they wear them on the iceā€¦cool, if not, you can still own it.

    This is just getting tiresome.

  22. nathaniel29903

    Who cares? I don’t think we need a jersey to feel inclusive. If the wild don’t wear a camo jersey on veteran’s day does that mean they hate the troops? IMHO which means nothing wearing a jersey dosnt mean you give a flying fuck about the cause it’s just a political move.

  23. Starmann30

    Why would this be an issue at all? Itā€™s a warm up jersey. Lol I swear some people in this world just look for anything to be mad at. šŸ¤¦šŸ»

    Good. We need to stop letting 1% of the population control the entire country. Do what you want but leave me out of it.

  25. RobstPierres

    Just stay TF out of it, wear your ā€œteamsā€ jersey and play hockey

  26. revolutiontime161

    Iā€™d rather support this than that forced military bullshit !

  27. Kuranator

    Rhen do military night, breat cancer, etc
    ..

  28. They have no issues with the “support the troops” jerseys though….

  29. SadEmploy3978

    To those citing religion as an excuse for skipping Pride night, Riddle me this. If someone belongs to a religion that preaches conscientious objection, would you be okay with them skipping Military Pride Night?

    I’ve read a book before, it was called the Scarlet Letter

    The fact that the LBGTQIA+2’s and their allies are so fragile that a piece of cloth could make or break their lives should be the story. The fact that there is an inability to separate a persons choice of cloth to wear and their feelings of support for a group is crazy.

    I whole heartedly support the LBG community, but I won’t ever wear a fucking pride flag or any other stupid ass rainbow on a shirt, or my shoes, or my underwear – and that’s my choice. Doesn’t mean I don’t support your rights.

    But the fact that you don’t support my right to choose is really telling
