Did they say why they backpedalled on pride night?  It was something they did for years, but they stopped without telling anyone until after the fact?

Sports Illustrated made sure people knew of their leftist slant real early... 1st sentence: "For the second time in the span of weeks, the NHL is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons after a contentious Pride Night."

You think this is positive press for the NHL?

[Hardcore troubadour 12,633]

People just want to watch a game. Enough with all this bullshit.

I don’t know about other sports markets. But if you’re listening to sports talk radio in Philly, the dumbest takes and stupidest callers are consistently Flyers fans. And it’s not particularly close.

Yeah the 1 caller out of 50 that wants to talk about the Flyers is usually a dolt. 

Also, only like 300,000 people watch the NHL ratings wise...No one cares other than people who want to be outraged.

I'll gladly go out of my way to support teams that say no to that bullshlt. If I didn't hate the Rangers so much already, I would probably buy some of their merchandise because of their stance. Hell, I'll do it anyway and give it away. I think I'll write them a letter supporting their decision on the topic and tell them I'm a new fan of the team.

Absolutely.

The players and fans in even the wokest markets in the country are making it clear to the woke degenerates contaminating the front offices and League offices that they don't want this.

People of courage have to make a stand for morality and decency in opposition.

That's not what happened.

Two players separately told Post colleague Larry Brooks and me that there were no team discussions about sporting the pride-themed jerseys and tape. They did not know why they didn’t wear them. Brooks also reached out to the NHL’s deputy commissioner and chief legal officer, Bill Daly, to see if teams had been advised not to proceed with their original Pride Night plans in the aftermath of Provorov’s refusal. Daly said no and that each club is entitled to proceed as it sees fit. 

So if it wasn’t the players and it wasn’t the league, then it appears the decision must have come from higher up in the Rangers’ organization.

I guess I was wrong. 

We'll have to see how these ongoing pride nights unfold, in NY, Philly, and elsewhere.

So? It’s a privately held team. They can do what they want. Like Twitter before Elon saved it. This is still America.  For now.

Guarantee a player or two said they aren’t participating and the Rangers went for damage control. Better the faceless organization takes the hit than the product. The players are the product.

First of all I am all for gay right and gay marriage.

Why do sport teams have to have a gay warmup night?  My nephew is a gay, he never tells anyone, never wears rainbow or pride stuff.  Just lives his life.  Like he told me. "I live my life, eventually people that I associate with will know without me broadcasting it"

The term "Pride" is overused as well.  Any human can have pride.
