ATW spent majority of the latest episode discussing lgbtq+ issues.

McDavid is playing at God level, Boston is making history, the east games feel like playoff mode already…The hockey world is discussing rainbow warm up jerseys.

The internet is undefeated

I really hate to be this guy, but at this point in the season we should just tank the rest of the year, we could realistically end up like 26th in the league.

at least we get a better draft position...

Here is my take on the whole dang thing. First let me say people are people know matter what end of story, All people should all be treated with respect.

For me, I go to Sporting events to escape reality for 3-5 hours. I don't care what you call yourself or identity as, if your part of the LGBTQ community great. Just don't shove your agenda down my throat and players should have the choice to decide if wearing jerseys align with their morals and beliefs.

With that said if you are part of the LGBTQ community and want to sit next to me and cheer on the Sabres or Bills, I will gladly converse and give you a high 5 when we score, you respect me, and I will certainly respect you. I may not buy into certain beliefs but I will never go out of my way to purposely hurt or insult someone.

I bet UPL and Comrie are tanking their career earnings so we get 5% chance to draft Bedrard

What belief set makes you decide whether or not you're welcoming a human being to a sporting event?

No no, that is not the point, I clearly said that I would welcome anyone and enjoy the game with them. what I wont do is go against my morals and beliefs, that does not make me a bad person. I accept all People even the really bad ones, I CHOOSE to believe in what is right for ME. Even if my morals and beliefs don't align with others we still have to treat all people with respect.

I would rather lose the next 8 out of 12 then go 8-4

there. right there. dicaprio meme.

How, exactly, does a pride jersey, that is specifically designed to notate your support of that community to be hockey fans, go against the Christian faith?

I do not. Am I missing out by not knowing Toby?

Is there a sign somewhere that says "no gays allowed" that I missed?

Why do we need to celebrate or participate in the sexual proclivity of others?

I'm here for the game. Stop beating people over the head with it, ffs..

it's not, you're not, come down from there and I'll discuss.

This is why I prefer my stance rather than a religious one. I'm quite clear and specific in what I object to about alphabet soup night. The religious stance is used, IMO, because it is an easy shield to hide behind for the players. I don't blame them for it; they face an unfair media, but I call it for what it is.

I'd rather someone say "cause i dont (frank)in feel like it" than to pretend the christian faith prevents them from welcoming a discriminated community.

You have your own reasons, and besides your whacky (frank)ing tangent from yesterday, fine whatever. I don't actually care how anyone feels, just be accurate in calling the situation.

But I fully agree that using the 'Faith' shield is an embarrassing joke. Grow a (frank)ing set. I'm sure Jesus (frank)ing Christ hated non-straights. Cause you know Bible n poop.

(frank) off. <- (people using religion as a crutch)

I blame the NHL and the teams for forcing players to be in a position to pick a lane on something that really has next to nothing to do with hockey

Every community in America is discriminated against. Every community in America has faced mass shootings. Very few communities are as coddeled and protected as the alphabet soup victimhood community.

it's not, you're not, come down from there and I'll discuss.
- TheSabresTaco

It's everyone's right to decide if they don't want to wear a pride jersey or not, enough with the bashing people that don't want to wear it it's a joke already. I'm so tired of this s$$t and hearing about, stop forcing people to get involved in things that they don't want to be involved with. Sports is only doing it to " save face" so they don't lose money, enough already.

Leviticus 18:22

Discriminated..? No. They have the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. Literally.

- homiedclown

they're not forcing them. bettman said it's their choice. the teams let the locker rooms decide.

pride night. military night. kids day. (frank) em all, (frank) your kids, (frank) the colors, (frank) the military, go play your (frank)ing game and shut the (frank) up.

This is also correct. Totally unaskedfor, unneeded, and unwanted.

Can we have a semblance of professionalism?
