The Heterophobic NHL

January 20, 2023

The sports media is trashing Ivan Provorov of the Philadelphia Flyers professional hockey team for declining to participate in a pre-game gay “pride celebration” for religious reasons.  It is now apparently required of NHL players that they “celebrate” the fact that there are men having sex with other men.  It’s never enough for the professional homosexuals that people simply ignore them and care not a whit about who they are having sex with; we must celebrate it.  And one’s Christian beliefs must never, ever stand in the way of forcing everyone to publicly celebrate gay sex.  Some virtue-signaling idiots in the sports media are calling for a $1 million fine imposed on Provorov by the NHL.

This is blatant heterophobia since neither the Flyers nor any other hockey team has a heterosexual pride celebration at any of their games.  Is that even legal?
