What’s the concern? That they’ll be prosecuted if they go back to Russia, or that they generally just don’t want to wear pride jerseys?

What’s gonna happen when they boycott next year because they are Fanatics Pride jerseys? Will we celebrate them?
RSlashLazy
As a bi man, ok.
croissant_titty
Literally who cares
WanderingRebel09
Those jerseys are super gay.

Russia hates our military. Should we get rid of our military nights to make them happy too? Don’t want any crying Ruskies.

I’m surprised that the franchise that treated Kyle Beach so well would show such a lack of general decency or compassion

No comment from the people all over the world that Russia has silenced.

The next time someone says keep politics out of sports, they should remember this. Sports, like everything else, can be affected by the political decisions made thousands of miles away. F&*$ Putin.

Fuck Russia.

Yea no rainbows on our jerseys but keep the Indian heading.

But they’ll slap a big ‘ol Native face on every other jersey without concern for the feelings those who don’t like it. Lol

I don’t care who you’re sexually attracted to and I’m fucking tired if being told I should care. This is all corporate bullshit, not hockey.

Excellent. Back to hockey.

Who cares just play hockey.

This is because pride doesn’t sell well anymore, safety concerns is a cop out. As a pro LGBT person, from the beginning the pride nights/pride jerseys have felt ingenuine and a cheap way to make a good name for themselves and sell more jerseys
Hetoxy
That’s fucking ridiculous. Don’t bend to that backwards ass shithole of a kleptocracy or any bigoted garbage religious pearl clutching bullshit. Bullshit coward move. Big fucking L for all these teams. And the league. Fuck.

Okay then let’s get rid of the bootlicker nights and jerseys too.
Edit: someone reported me to the Reddit crisis line for this comment lol. Sensitive much?

Make them wear blue and yellow instead.

The Russians play very good hockey and are a benefit to the quality of the game but if they don’t like our culture of tolerance then let them play elsewhere.

The long arm of Putin? tf. queer people exist and it’s not political

But the logo on the sweater isn’t offensive at all! The hypocrisy of things these days is almost too much to bear sometimes

Maybe the Russian players could just stay in Russia if they don’t want to wear the pride jerseys. Why should their country’s fcked up culture be imposed on ours.

Humans will no longer attend blackhawks games out of concerns for other humans
AKTacoTruckEnjoyer
Fuck Russia and fuck the Blackhawks for caving to them.
This is America, assholes.
ki10_butt
You mean the team that actively knew about Kyle Beach, the abuse he got, and the players/staff also being complete assholes to him now wants to protect their players?
Man, that whole team is trash.

Maybe it’s just lame marketing and only serves to increase outrage clicks when dudes won’t comply

Good. Forcing straight people to wear rainbows so you can make your business look good is stupid af.

Why can’t hockey just be about hockey?
