The Philadelphia Flyers hosted the Anaheim Ducks for a pride night celebration Tuesday night. The Flyers ended up winning the game 5-2…but the mainstream sports media wasn’t too concerned with the Flyers performance. The media was more concerned with the fact…that Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov refused to wear the required pride jersey.
We reveal and react to the media’s response to Ivan Provorov…and their unprofessional behavior at the postgame press conference. We highlight the response from Flyers head coach John Tortorella and the response of Ivan Provorov. We praise both John Tortorella and Ivan Provorov for taking a stand…while criticizing the media for their hypocrisy.

IF I WAS THAT RUSSIAN DUDE I WOULD DEFINITELY WAIT UNTIL I GOT TO HOTEL BEFORE EVER TAKING A SHOWER WITH HIS TEAMATES AFTER HE WAS ONLY ONE TO SAY F-NO…I DON'T SUPPORT BALLS ACROSS THE NOSE OF ANOTHER MAN
NO ONE HAS TO SUPPORT THE 'LETTERITES' aka the 'letter people. In fact, they're VERY lucky that America has *TOLERATED them so far but if they keep pushing their BS rhetoric down everyone's throats then they had best be prepared for the blowback because people are sick and tired of it. There is absolutely no reason for it. NO ONE is REQUIRED to adopt their opinions or points of view. No one. They cannot force anyone to agree with them so they had better stop pushing on those that don't because the fight that they're looking for will most definitely NOT be the fight they receive and they are not prepared for they know not what they do. My advice? Just stop. Get help.
If Provorov were a Muslim there'd be crickets. Hypocrisy personified.
And the best line from "Slapshot" is …..?
The NHL commissioner is just as bad for putting players in this position to begin with.
Good for Provorov. Nice to see someone with some courage.
Oh we’re so inclusive until we’re not
Correct, he said the word no and they did not like it. In the nhl and many other sports, the athletes have become "yes-men".
I'm a huge hockey fan. And I'm not a Philadelphia Flyers fan. But I admire Provorov a lot for this.
As a gay man, I support Ivan. Just focus on playing the sport instead of injecting GAY into everything.
Would it be acceptable for some players who were Atheists being forced to say the Lord's Prayer before every game, or be fired? NO, it would not be acceptable in the world of sports or any other workplace.
Pride is a sin
There’s a reason they are called pride parades
✝️☦️ all Christians must unite against The atheists destroying our society
After September 11 we as Society fought a full-scale war against religious fundamentalism
The threat is not with Muslims but atheists
LGBT pride? Isn't pride one of the seven deadly sins?
GOD BLESS UKRAINE. TO HELL WITH THE RUSSIANS!!
Wow fantastic hope it starts a trend
Flyers are owned by Nbc-comcast. They've pushing their woke left wing agenda since Ed Snider die first canceling outings to Trump owned golf clubs in Jersey while removing the Kate Smith Statue. That franchise will never get a cent from me ever again. I'll root for the Devils or Caps now. At least I might see a cup in my lifetime🤣
When is "hetero-pride" night by the woke NBC-Comcast owned Flyers who are almost in last pace as usual? 😅
I stand with Ivan
If you disagree you are a homophobe racist bigot. You can not say no. Welcome to america
Anyone who supports him But you have a problem with Kap and the national anthem you sick sick and sick. Shows your hypocrisy. People offended is the same as people offended right.
Did you feel this why about sports media reporting on the national anthem. Oh hypocrisy. Anyone who supports him But you have a problem with Kap and the national anthem you sick sick and sick. Shows your hypocrisy. People offended is the same as people offended right.
Woke Christmas?!🤣 🤣Just bonkers😂🤣
Spoken from my soul. Big THANK for this contribution.
Can we start a campaign to fire non inclusive and racist Sid Seixeiro who says everyones religios beliefs are garbage and make people want to puke.
Ivan has made a fan out of every fan of the Rangers, Pens, Caps etc. I would wear his jersey.
but why did he play in a game that was for gay pride?
It shouldn’t even be a story even if Ivan had spray painted a big circle and line across the rainbow number on the back of his jersey. His choice. If you are so tolerant then respect his choice.
Bout give up on nhl, too much woke shite
Браво Проворов!!! Горжусь своим соотечественником!
I ordered my Provorov jersey today! I haven't purchased any sport team wear since about 1990.
All media in this country is useless!
Provorov is Orthodox Christian, not Roman-Catholic.
so gay people demand you approve of their lifestyle,..or else! black people demand you agree white people are no good because of the color of their skin ,..or else! ,. .it take two days to honor independence day and memorial day ,..but sixty days to honor gays and blacks ,..does anyone know when heterosexual pride day is ? 🤔
Need more of these kind of folks.
Don't be forced into anything you don't believe in!
WHEN PLAYERS SEE THAT RAINBOW BADGE IN PLAY THEY MAY STARTING THINKING OF GAYNESS INSTEAD OF THE GAME , THE BADGE IS A CURSE WINNERS DONT WEAR THINGS LIKE THAT !!!!
Remember when they were calling people fascists for being Trump supporters? Now if you don't comply with their nonsense they want you punished. Quite interesting turn of events now isn't it.
Isn't the guy …A RUSSIAN ?? if he is that is ANOTHER Reason 😂😂
I can't stand hockey but love Ivan. What self respecting man would where the Fking Rainbow 🌈 anyway. Might walk around with a sign asking to suck Dk. PRIDE before the Fall. I hope fall comes early!
Hey Boy's remember the Media is not your friend, and the are always politically Left. Stand up to these non fans and don't let them compromise your beliefs . ( Sticks on The Ice Boy's )
Проворову надо здорово посрать.
I’m not supporting a sinful act , for I shall have to answer to Our Lord .
Woke mob is terrible.
Парни с традиционной ориентацией уже не имеют никаких прав в Америке, им приказывают что одеть, что говорить ,спорт превратили в цирк
The Woke Bowel Movement should be flushed down the toilet!
Most of the NHL players are hypocrites. They believe in one thing, and then go against it when everyone else is going against it. Doesn't any body have the bloody courage to stand up for their beliefs. To stand up for what is right. I guess most of the players are lemmings. One runs off a cliff, and they all follow except Ivan Provorov. He has guts. The rest of them are cowards.
i don't have a problem with leagues doing pride nights and if players want to wear pride jerseys that's fine as well but i don't believe anyone should be forced to wear them it should be a choice.and no one should be pissed off if they choose not too.
