It’s understandable if theres family back in Russia

It’s been well documented that Russian players are putting their families back at home under risk if they ‘promote’ pride nights. Can’t blame him.

I’m bi, can we please just respect their choices? Russian players are putting their families in Russia at risk if they support this stuff. I’m done hearing about it.

This is just starting to feel like public calls to action for witch hunts at this point. I get it, we don’t agree with them, but like come on, let’s focus on the people who are supporting it for once, nothing but negativity over and over. Let’s see some positivity at least

It’s sad to see that some folks need “ proof “ that his family is actually at risk. Does that really matter ? What happened to us just respecting each others opinions, regardless if they align or not. We can all co-exist without having the same views on everything. The overblown media attention on these isolated situations needs to stop

The dichotomy of r/NHL.
One side hates, other side doesn’t care.

It would be best if they don’t post who is and who isn’t. Realistically if they do not post about it no one will really see it or ask the questions about it after.

Why are Russians driven to kill a player’s family if they wear a rainbow shirt for half an hour but all good with US Military appreciation jerseys?

Why would Russia put these players in danger for wearing pride jerseys but not for wearing camo jerseys supporting the US military

Or is it just everyone is sick and tired of catering to such a low but whiny percentage of the population just so feelings don’t get hurt?

Why not just recognize the progress of having so many other players participate? Instead always spending so much time talking about the few that don’t.

Wish the league would do away with all themed nights. They’re all cash grabs and ego strokes.

I’m not against anyone, do whatever you want. However, PLEASE do not EXPECT everyone to agree with how you choose to live your life. You must respect that stance as well. Enough with this shit.
