Idiot sportscasters act like Provorov ,can not think for himself, they implied that if he read up on the subject, that his feelings would change.
Compelled speech is not free speech.
Nothing else needs to be said.
The borg doesn't like those who won't wear say think exactly what they want them to. These buisness owners bend to the mob. Look through every time in history this happened. They were all bad.
KEEP POLITICS OUT OF SPORTS!
You'd think a sport that has never been really popular in the US would not be making the challenge of gaining popularity more difficult.
Good for him… Stand your ground on that BS
He does not even want to get attention. But media wants to make it a big deal.
The same people who said players shouldn't have to stand for the national anthem are the same people saying players should have to wear the rainbow.
"But I don't want to wear the ribbon."
The media is the problem
Stay strong Prov.
I have Christian pride,so everyone has to wear a jersey with a cross on it.
They are offended by what he said…what if he's offended by the fact that they are offended…what is this the offended Olympics? Being diverse means you coexist with people who don't agree with you.
The only man in NHL with any guts to stand up for what he believes. Because I guarantee there are plenty of other players who believe the same thing but don't have his balls.
this is the modern american fashism that replaced the older christian fashism, there is always a fashism around in the world
If your gay straight pedophile drag just show up to a game. Why are ppl being degraded to wear something that they don’t believe in. What is the players association saying about this. Look what happened in Florida nhl was going to do a job hiring and no whites allowed to attend. Wtf is going on in this world. Maybe nhl should have drag storytell in a section with children. Sickos. Antifa is back. Who pushing this shit democratics of course. Who going to be first drag nhl player.
Ivan Provorov is a strong man unlike the media that covers his sport. Just bought a Ivan Provorov t'shirt because the jersey is sold out. And I'm a Hawks fan.
Caps fan here. Provy is a hero!
Had he been Brown and Muslim the silence from the MSM would have been deafening.
The media and big government don’t want it getting out that the people financing this super important new war don’t support it in any way. God forbid blackwater and comcast don’t profit this quarter.
The NHL has now joined the NBA and NFL in being WOKE…
in my view there is a real simple way to stop this shit!!! if you believe this is WRONG don't buy a ticket until it changes.(it won't take long)
I'm with Ivan , no way I'd wear something that says I support them weirdos either .It's time for all the alphabet groups to crawl back under their rocks . Why are we bending over backwards for them in the first place ?
Not wanting to promote a lifestyle or military should NOT be contingent on you being religious.
THAT is the wrong message.
Your personal beliefs are even more important than a made up religion and should be THE defining factor of you as an individual.
I get why it's done. The medical Marijuana movement was used in the same way on the road to legalisation. I just don't like the moral superiority aspect as if that reason is superior.
I agree 💯, I'm a homosexual, but I keep my sexuality private behind locked 🔒 doors! Respect straight normal people.simple!
I’m not a fan of the NHL, but they better wake up and stop with this woke nonsense? Or they will lose the little amount of fans that they do have.
The woke NHL has become a woke joke under Bettman…..hopefully more NHL'ers grow a pair and push back against the globalist narratives
So there IS an NHL player I respect.
Иван мы с тобой держись братка .
I have much respect for him it's OK to not support this agenda if he wanted to were a cross he wouldn't be allowed to why does this group have so much power its stupid
In this case it's about religious beliefs! Is this forbidden now?
The man is a hockey player. Keep politics and SJ out of hockey.
Maybe he believes that homosexuality is a preversion of God's intent!
More proof, if any is needed, that the MEDIA is pushing this narrative, aided by a very few activists.
A country that declares to everyone about freedom, equality, freedom of religion, etc. Behaves like a totalitarian state. Forces you to give up your faith, for example, to give up your choice and freedom. Muslims eating pork is prohibited by the Quran. Now imagine how they will say – and now before the game we all eat pork, and you are a Muslim too. He says – I respect the choice of everyone, my choice is my religion, no pork, I am forbidden by religion. And everyone is like – Nooo, he's an enemy. He must. Or, for example, Jews can only eat the meat of ruminant artiodactyls. Therefore, the meat of a pig is forbidden – it is not a ruminant animal, and a camel – it is not artiodactyl. The milk of "unclean" animals is also prohibited. Birds of prey, marsh and waterfowl are prohibited, except for goose and duck. And he is also forced to break these rules, religion. But what about freedom?!
This man came to America from Russia for freedom and has to deal with lockstep Leftist totalitarianism. Not diversity but conformity. Not freedom but coercion. Not unity but uniformity. Not freedom of speech but enforced propaganda. Remember when it used to be about tolerance? Now it's "March in our parade or we will get you cancelled and fired."
Ironic that the so called woke Leftists are always whining about "Cultural Appropriation, Well, for over three thousand years the rainbow was a Judeo-Christian symbol of God's mercy after judging sin. Hypocritical ripoff.
Doubly ironic that, at the same time that this story hit the news, two white rent-a-cops were trying to kick a Black guy out of a mall for wearing a "Jesus Saves" T-shirt. Free speech for everyone who agrees with us.
Русский мужик с яйцами. Чего и Вам желаю!
Since the nhl is going woke the people really should kick the nhl to the curb
I stand with Ivan Provorov. A Man with a SPINE. I am Roman Catholic–even Pope Francis says homosexuality is a sin.
Being a sexual deviant is nothing to be proud of. Most people in this country are sick and tired of this WOKE B.S. being pushed on us by a bunch of mental rejects.
