Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov did not participate in warmups before the team’s home game against the Ducks on Tuesday night because he refused to wear a Pride Night jersey and use sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape.
Provorov, who said he is Russian Orthodox, cited his religious beliefs as why he chose not to partake in the warm-ups. “I respect everybody. I respect everybody’s choices,” Provorov told reporters after the game, declining to get into any further detail. “My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.” (Snip) “The Philadelphia Flyers organization is committed to inclusivity and is proud to support the local LGBTQ+ community,” the statement said.
I am sick of them trying to force this crap down our throats.
It's ABNORMAL!

# 1 Yes, it is which is why there such a strong push to " normalize" it. Anything and everything is not only OK with the left it's celebrated while the words " mother" , " father" are denigrated.

Nothing surprises me anymore. NHL Nascar NFL . Two homosexuals in Georgia are in jail for rape of their two adopted boys. Townhall has a continuing article and it seems this is just the tip of the ice berg. God help us.

Just saw an ad on Fox News for Walgreens Pharmacy, it was very nice until it showed two men sitting under a blanket on a couch and one turning to kiss the top of the head of the other.....they didn't have to put this in the ad.
Why do they think that this is OK? These people are mentally ill, it is not normal, it is a sin in God's eye.

Ah, it's the 'camel and the tent' fable...first they want just 'acceptance'...that's the camels nose, then it goes on and on from there and now we have the whole stinking animal inside the tent and crapping on the Persian rug...

DeSantis called out the NHL over some hiring faire targeting minorities and gays recently. He accused the NHL of going woke. Not sure, but think the NHL backed off what they were doing in this case.

PRIDE is now and has been forever a major sin. I do not and will not support sexual perversion or perverts.

Keep sexual immorality and gay sexual debauchery and a lifestyle that is a sin and an abomination against God out of sports. I will boycott all teams that promote this thing.

You’re absolutely right #5. At first was simply about acceptance, they just wanted to be left alone to live their lifestyle. Well, they were given that. Enough? Oh no. Now they use LGBTQwhatever as a club to beat people into not only accepting and supporting them, but giving them preferential treatment as if they are the norm and anything else is sick and twisted. They’re going to push too far…

If it was a pride celebration, it should honor every player's own preferences. Including those who prefer to follow their religious beliefs. And straight players should be encouraged to express their straightness. The notion is supposed to be that every person can be proud of who they are, not that every person should be proud of every sexual orientation.

Does that inclusivity the Flyers are so proud of included the Russian Orthodox Church members?

Why are people like Ivan Provorov always immediately deemed to be homophobic and hateful for not wanting to participate in something that they disagree with? Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean they hate you, it simply means that they disagree with you. Provorov may be friends with many LGBTQ people. That does not mean that he will be marching in the Gay Pride Parade with them.

From a financial point of view, the NHL's embrace of this fringe "community" makes no sense to me.
