It's such a dumb rule. Tape is tape, are they afraid the goalies won't see the puck?

It's not even for during game time, it's during warmups. It affects nothing allowing whatever tape (or jerseys) they want.

Or, or, just play the fucking game and for the love of god please keep any kind of politics out of it. Not everything needs to be filled with statements.

And colorful tape didn’t have to be political either. Banning shit like that, or pride, blm, or any other non-hate based messaging is fucking ridiculous.

That's great, does your existence need to be announced in everything? I don't do that with mine.

You're kind of doing it right now with your bad takes, just like I am when commenting on this post. It's as stupid as saying "keep politics out", a life in community IS political, like it or not...

How can you possibly say that? There are literal temples in the US with crosses all over them. These temples, in some cases, have crosses made of gold.

Are you out of your mind, bro?

Yea totally forgot how the christians aren't continually trying to enforce their religion in our schools...that never happens at all

lmfao, you either don't live in the US or are literally blind. You can't walk down the road without passing three churches.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Fucking bruh, kids are forced to say thins every fucking day in schools across the USA

Then hate the people that made it necessary to show them as much as possible

I dont care how you feel about rainbows and I'm sick of hearing from bigots.

Arent opinions fun. :)

Ah so you just don't like being reminded gay people exist.

In favor of no national anthems then?

Yes, for the love of fucking god. Not because national anthems are political, that's one of the dunbest things that's been said in this thread, but because they're an annoying waste of time. I wanna watch the sport, stop singing weirdo's.

Nationalism is a political statement even if you don’t want to believe it is.

Many national anthems are fairly radical political manifestos.

Just because they've been put to some music and we've gotten used to them doesn't make them any less radical.

It's funny to think that statements like "arise, children of the fatherland, against the bloody flag of tyranny" or "O Lord our God arise, scatter our enemies and make them fall!" or "Let's unite, we're ready to die! For centuries we've been stamped on and laughed at because we're not one people" should be completely okay and everybody should stand and listen in awe, but "black lives matter" would be too radical and too political for the same setting.

Idk in a game that has historically had issues with sexual assault and hazing and enough people speaking out about not feeling welcome, don't you think it's kind of important to address in one way or another? It's making noise because it's going against the status quo. NHL made a decision based on the beliefs of like 10 players vs the rest of the league who supported pride nights.

48

No, if it's shit snd weird shit goes on stop watching and sending money their way. It'll sort itself out or die

You realize the tape was the result of research that showed that hockey was the least homosexual friendly sport to play, right?

It’s supposed to be for everyone, but then they get angry at you if you’re gay.

Least homosexual sport is a bunch of shit mate. What, you gonna perform worse if you're gay? If you play the game and keep your sexuality to yourself like everyone else I doubt there's an issue.

-20

So all the straight players never mention their wives, girlfriends, or sexual conquests to their teammates? They just keep that to themselves? Bullshit. Straight people are never told to "keep their sexuality to themselves."

It's an expression that is in the zeitgeist. Like an axe to grind or a pot to piss in. It has trancended literal interpretation.

How about we let the players do what they feel like and stop trying to nanny them over what they can and can't do with their own shit. Fucking weirdo.

It would be nice if the NHL would have an list of approved tapes. And the approval process was really quick and painless, just to keep out tape with swastikas or whatnot.

No let them do tape with shit like that, so the teams can fire them and they out themselves.

Your opinion is one of a raging asshole's. Be a dick, get treated like a dick.

Whine about it, and you only show yourself more. "Boo hoo, everyone is being mean about me being hostile against LGBT people." Grow a spine if you're going to be hateful.

Nobody hears about it all day unless they're looking for it, living it, or notice it all the time because they resent it.

The fact that you see sexuality is political gives it all away. But yes, you get the vibe you create. It's not everyone else's fault that you don't even realize what you're saying.

And some things are black and white. If you think banning expression to acknowledge that entire population of people exists is a good thing, you're a homophobe. Quit being a triggered snowflake. We get it, you're uncomfortable with gay people. Stfu and move along.

Explain, because that's a hell of an assumption. Why is it that you think everyone in and around sports is a homophobe?

You don't have to play sports to know this is a stupid rule. If you weren't a goon you would know that.
