Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I am totally shocked that a league with a significant number of Eastern European players would have this mandate. Totally. Shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Players shouldn't have any personality either. They should walk out there, play, show no emotion whatsoever and walk off the field/ice in silence after they win or lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that you're consistent at least but I would prefer the sporting leagues not cater to the losers who are upset that a player might show the most passive support possible for human beings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFKAK Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 The NHL was one of the first major leagues to take an active role in the LGBTQI community and Pride. Seeing this happen is so incredible disheartening. This began after Brendan Burke, son of NHL executive Brian Burke was killed, Brendan was on of the earliest athletes to come out and his Dad became a strong advocate for the movement following his sons passing.
