this wyshinsky has never touched a stick made from flesh
Lets not listen to him
he HATES us
Forcing people to tow the popular line while against their personal beliefs and what’s in their heart is surely NOT what pride night is about?
Aliluya! The whole United States is standing with the man Ivan Provorov, real man, not coward or brainwashed into transhumanism agenda sheeple like you two!🇱🇷🇷🇺💥💥💥🤝🤝🤝
Flyers donate lots to charities. ESPN go suck cock
How is HraDICK still employed?
"Put on the crybully uniform or go die" – the left.
Provorov is hero! Respect!👏👏👏
Now everyone can see what does it really means – PRIDE – shown by Ivan and John. They both truly has their own pride.
What people don’t realize is nothing is as it appears. A major goal with most of these occurrences is to cause division amongst the population. No matter what side a person chose in this story, the goal of division was still accomplished…
Greetings from Russia kids. At first, you were taught that two uncles who poke each other in the ass with leather sticks, this is normal.
Then you were told that if a man in a woman's dress visits the women's toilet, it's fine.
Now they are telling you that if you do not support homosexuals because you are a Christian, then you are a homophobe.
Do you know what they'll tell you tomorrow?
Tomorrow you will be told, "if you don't copulate with your children, then you are perverts." And now think about whether you need THIS tomorrow?
Wyshynski is so hypocritical and limited in his speculation. Thumbs up for Provorov's common sense, consistency and true integrity(as apposed to the flukes like this poorly dressed principless character)
What a load of crap. Play hockey. All this other noise doesn’t mean anything. We all don’t drink the koolaid.
WOW, look how few likes you have. (39 likes, 390 DISLIKES) Says where the MAJORITY of people stand on this issue.
Its not a controversy toolbag ESPN, all corporate media is full of bs traitors just opinions of pathetic pawns doing the bidding of their libtard masters like good tools
Awwwww, porr wittle baby got scared of a wittle wainbow 🥺🥺🥺
I love how Greg says that must be "consequences" for not participating in the LGBQT political movement. It's amazing how authoritarians are the heroes now.
I stand by IVAN…. NHL knock off the stupid shit!
If there was a Muslim player who refused to wear a cross on Christian night or a star of David on jewish night there would be no problem. This is only controversial because he's Christian and white.
There is no controversy at all, a man taking a stand for his believes and values. Mr. Provokov was hires to play Hockey, not as a dress up doll. Last I checked his jerseys were sold out !
How about we just let them play hockey? Not everything has to be a billboard for LGBT.
Really starting to think it's less about support and more about "thats a nice (thing) you got there, be a shame if something cancelled it"
This ESPN representative is much the same as all the liberal media, and it's absolute bullshit. I have to listen to affirmative action hires analyze the game at the expense of those far more qualified. I gave to watch the boards dazzle me with moving ads at the expense of seeing the play at hand. I have to sit through commercial after commercial of gambling sites. And now I have to watch the players skate around with rainbows on there jerseys. I might stop watching this woke trainwreck all together. And by the way, supporting gay rights is one thing, but the LGBTQ+ movement also stands for gender transitioning in children, S&M book reading for toddlers, and corrupting Colleges and Universities with gender studies to the point of anyone with any view right of the far left is now deemed a Nazi or a Fascist. This shit is crazy, and I just decided to hit them where it really hurts, and will have my sports package bundle from my cable subscription change, and know higher education will be it's own demise.
The sad part is that he had to supply a reason for not wearing it. He should be allowed to say "I'm not wearing it because I don't want to," and that should be it. Never give in to the irrational mob, hold your ground.
Listen to the reactions. One person didn't wear a jersey, and they are "disappointed in the league," and "it over shadows everything else the team has done." These reactions are the backward steps. If one person not wearing a jersey sets back your movement, your movement is a farce.
Also, he's not protesting. He's just refusing to take part in pointless political posturing and virtue signaling.
@6:25 you can't discipline someone because of their religion. It's illegal. If the Flyers said he could warmup with a regular jersey then they could discipline I believe. Regardless, the left version of tolerance is showing again…
No a lot of people didn’t want to see that stance. Normal people were fine with what happened only you lunatics care.
The only people complaining about this issue are woke reporters who call for tolerance but can't show it to someone with different ideas. His jersey sold out after this. That should show you how fans really feel about it. Stop forcing your ideas down people's throats.
