Makes me sad to hear about the Stahls. Great players. Misguided beliefs about LGBTQ
Bettman is like any other commissioner in professional sports. A complete tool of the owners.
Okay Bettman — I PROMISE YOU THIS — if i see an ad either at a NHL arena , on the boards of an NHL game or superimposed on the ice or glass – I WILL NOT BUY THAT PRODUCT ….. !
and you best PRAY TO GOD that the rest of NHL fans not do what I am doing.
Yeah Boi!
Is hockey only for fascists or just mostly for fascists?
I do not believe in God or any other similar deity, deem religion to be largely poisonous, and I am dismayed how members of the LGBTQ+ are stigmatized by the broader societies across the planet. That said, each individual player should be left to to opt in or opt out of displaying themes they deem controversial.
Of course the owners and the commissioner are massive dbag bigots. They're rich. And get richer off the backs of others for literally nothing. It really does seem like obscene amounts of money make you a prick. Or maybe its just that this profoundly F'ed up world simply rewards repugnant ball bags. Maybe both.
It's tape! Wth is wrong with sports leagues? Same way with the NFL total nonsense bullshit.
Good for Dermott. Bettman is, and has always been, despicable. I was waiting for someone to do this. And good for Steve and Sid for speaking out about this.
The NHL continues to be a third rate professional league bc of Gary Bettman.
Had the Dodgers focused on baseball instead of championing The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence maybe they'd be getting ready to statt the World Series instead of sitting at home after their embarrassing sweep at the hands od the Dbacks
Why folks so afraid of the LGBTQ+ community? They are millions strong and carry a lot of political and economic power. I would NOT piss them off. No no!
Good for him, if people want to or not to want to, who gives a shit. Can he score goals? Warmup naked, who gives a shit 😂
When you use 'religion' to oppress others?
What does that say about YOUR religion?
And or religion in general… HINT HINT
#1. I'm not gay.
#2. If YOU are gay, I know that you didn't "choose it" (girls might but guys? Nahh).
#3. I support gays and Dermott (and my guess is; he isn't gay).
Straight, cis and here's my support 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈!
I was completely unaware of the existence of pride tape.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman a weak spineless coward & incompetent.
Being a racist or a bigot is a persons choice. If a player decides to use rainbow tape to support their opinion then it is their choice. Any league that tries to suppress your right to freedom of speech is no better then a racist trying to impose their idea's on you. I personally could give 2 F#$ks to whether or not you agree with or disagree with supporting him or not but I do care that anyone who tries to control who or what I decide to support. We all have this right and this should be protected at all costs.
Ha !
