billvon 2,991 #1 Posted October 26, 2023 The NHL just learned the hard way that attacking LGBT folks can come back and bite them in the butt. Summary - the NHL thought they'd jump on the anti-woke bandwagon and banned all Pride expressions including rainbow tape on their sticks. Hockey players are not known for being politically correct, and they started rebelling against the ban immediately. Travis Dermott put rainbow tape on his stick immediately after they announced the ban, and made it clear he would not comply. Connor McDavid and Scott Laughton followed suit. Corporate sponsors like Scotiabank made it clear they were not happy. And after a few weeks - the brave heroes of the anti-woke folded like a Trump laywer on trial. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/the-nhl-s-pride-tape-fiasco-shows-the-severe-costs-of-betraying-lgbtq-fans/ar-AA1iQbRo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I read about this ban on-line, I immediately when to the NHL website, and via their Contact Us, told them what I thought about the ban & that it was time they joined the modern world.
