Philadelphia Flyers Player Boycotts His Woke Team’s “Pride Night,” Refuses To Wear Their LGBTQ Warmup Jersey


The NHL over the past year has made a concerted effort to portray itself as America’s most woke sports league, even at the expense of player safety. On Tuesday night, however, an NHL player actually decided to take a stand against his own team’s effort to push the woke agenda.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov, a devout Russian Orthodox Christian, refused to wear his team’s gay pride jersey Tuesday night. He explained that he made a choice to stay true to himself and his faith.

Same people fighting for the right to disrespect the national anthem and flag want this guy kicked out of the league, I'll bet.

@graphite Irony - it took a Russian to stand for American rights

@Slade Compelled support of something is what this is about. Prokorov is probably the most popular player in the league right now, for taking a stand.

@graphite True. But the woketards who run sports (and the scolding leftist sportswriters) want him hanged

@Slade Just what is the point of this for the NHL? What percentage of their tickets are sold to LGBTQetc folks? Do they hope to woo that market? Wouldn't these people already be fans if they are interested in hockey and are not going to be converted because of some forced public shows of support by the league?

@graphite Stupid executives trying to outwoke each other. Certainly doesn't bring more fans in

@Slade Might alienate a bunch, though.
