[Russo] UPDATE: Rule be damned, Marc-Andre Fleury is wearing his Native American Heritage mask in warmups. I’m told it’s very unlikely he or the Wild will be fined, but he’s risking it

    This is amazing. Showing some spine and standing up for a cause he believes in.

    At the game, confirmed he has it on for warmies

    Good, fuck the NHL and their stupid fucking rules and their stupid fucking cowardice.

  4. Yay!! I hope they show pictures of this. I am crying happy tears

  5. Lmao I think it’s funny that the league thinks they can tell flower what to do. He’s like 1-2 years from retirement

    And this just shows. Let the players wear what they want in warmups. Military, lbtg, Native American heritage. Let them support what they want as long as it’s positive. But don’t ban everything because a few degenerates push back

  7. Wonder what people would say if his pads were trans colored. Do they support athletes standing up for causes, or just certain causes?

  8. Wait wait wait, MAF wasn’t even starting tonight?! So this was literally just about warmups?

    Literally almost no one would have known this was a thing if the league hadn’t come out and said he can’t wear it. The league’s ability to create bad PR from nothing is almost impressive.

    ​

    I expect there is almost zero chance the league tries to fine anyone here, even they have to recognize how insanely bad that will look on them. The only questions now is do they just pretend this never happened or do they put out another lame ass statement “supporting players decisions” and reversing their stance.

    Watching players call the NHLs bluffs is so goddamned funny.
