Media and LGBTQ advocates made a mountain out of a handful of players not participating in Pride night among about 500 players who did and casts the entire NHL as intolerant. This is what happens when they’re put in a no win situation.
The special nights will continue, just no warmup jersey. Move along

Good and this goes for all the other ones too. Just keep it the game of hockey, the sport and reason we watch it without judgement.

Really fucking shitty and classless move by the shittiest league in the country. Those jerseys cause absolutely no harm and contribute to much more than just LGBT communities.

Letting the vocal haters of a minority dictate your policy…

That Flames jersey is fire.

What a disgraceful move by the NHL. LGBT people are losing rights in many states in this country and they pull back their support. So fucked up.

Rather than stand up to criticism they ran like cowards.

Just because this stops, doesn’t mean you can’t instead just donate to whatever cause you want.

I agree that we should stop making Athletes poster childs for every cause under the sun. Just let them play sports. They should no longer be your moral compass.

Oh no.

Coward shit yo.
Fucking MLB plays entire games in their Pride, Military Appreciation ect ect jerseys. Last week the Dodgers had a Pride night, and their opponents were wearing Pride jerseys.

Didn’t realize r/nhl redditors were a bunch of homophobes. Y’all secretly thirsting over the locker rooms.

For those of you that clearly don’t want to read…
They will continue to produce these jerseys and have players sign them. They will continue to auction them off for charity.
So if you’re butt hurt about this move, then you’re really just saying that your mad that players aren’t forced to wear them….

Good. I pay to see NHL hockey not players forced to make statements, of any kind. And while we’re at it, how about doing away with playing the national anthem? It’s a stupid jingoistic tradition that has nothing to do with the game, players, team or league.

Before the homophobes come here celebrating. It means no military or first responder jerseys either. A “if I can’t have it no one can”situation

Tbh, I don’t care

Of course because this is Reddit the title is misleading. Reality is tough and facts are hurtful, I get it. But fact is ALL warm up jerseys are going away.
It’s good though. All the stupid virtue signaling the league did by having a jersey night for every group that is supposedly so maligned and hated did nothing. Despite their efforts it didn’t help ratings one bit, which isn’t shocking.
But those virtue signal points will surely add up over these years!

Stupid to drop all of them and to announce it during pride month

Because the thread you commented on, OP, was deleted here’s my response:
Your view is not shared by the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, so you might want to reconsider.
I know you think trans kids are just walking into the doctors office and instantly getting bottom surgery, but that’s not how this works. Transitioning is a lengthy process that takes years and years. It starts with talks with health professional on the experiences of people experiencing the mental anguish of gender dysphoria (which are illegal in some states now!!!), then non medical interventions are taken like wearing different clothes, etc., to see if the gender dysphoria is lessened, then if it is lessened there’s the option to get on puberty blockers which delay puberty (that’s it, just delays) giving the kids time to grow and mature before deciding the type of puberty they want to go through (since, for a lot of people, male puberty makes changes that are harder to reverse), then after some more years they hormonally transition or not, and then they can transition by having surgeries if they want or not, and a lot don’t.

Congrats to the staal brothers, Reimer and provorov. They’ve beaten homosexuality.
Thank you
This is a bad look NHL. It’s craving to a vocal minority
good
I don’t know a *ton* about how to celebrate Pride Month, but seems like this…ain’t quite it. 🤷‍♂️
Damn there go Angels night jerseys
Thank god they’re ending all of these stupid fucking special nights.
Get rid of anthems too
No star wars, military, first responders, etc either.
