“After seeing other players announce their intolerance, we’ve decided to announce that we too are intolerant”
The « Christian » angle is so old hat, if a player came out and said something like « I’m tired of big businesses capitalizing on the struggles of LGBT people… » I could respect that.
Who. The. Fuck. Cares.
The kind of sex you have has nothing to do with hockey.
« Easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. »
Please, tell me about your prayerful refusal to accept such large contracts. Otherwise, stop using my faith to justify your issues with gay people
These excuses are always lame. The one thing I don’t like about the pride jerseys is how it’s just corporate virtue signaling, but it’s a good message to young lgbt hockey players who probably get harassed and bullied every day because youth hockey is already toxic as hell
« We don’t judge others but our religion sure does! »
If you’re going to cherry pick pieces of your religion to excuse your closed mindedness you might as well just blame it on your horoscope
So what’s the count so far?
Russian Orthodox-1
Christians-3
Dubious Corporate Teams-2
It’s their right to feel the way they do and believe how they want. Goes both ways people. That’s the great thing about a free society, I can believe what I want, you can believe what you want.
Agree with the Stalls, keep hockey about 5 handsome muscley men who go out there and shove rubber between another man’s legs … and then celebrate when they’re done by showering naked together
“Christian beliefs” is a convenient scapegoat.
OMG i hate bigots… hockey already has a problem with homophobia…these dudes had sex before they were married,worked on Sundays, and kept and saved their salaries. But this is TOTALLY a religious thing
Would love to see a player refuse to participate in veteran night and see the reaction
Edit: interestingly enough, player’s religious beliefs don’t prevent them from supporting militaries that engage in useless wars that result in the deaths of thousands of innocent lives?? Makes you think
“We carry no judgement on how people choose to live their lives”
A) This is literally judgement.
B) It’s not a “lifestyle choice.” You’re opposed to these fans as WHO THEY ARE. End of story.
Everyone is finally coming out saying they don’t give a shit. Fake feelings this whole time
God doesn’t have anything against Pride nights. Only Christians do.
Imagine having a pr generated statement that calls being gay, a choice. Youch.
“Chose to live their life” yeah sure, you chose to be gay
just tired of the storyline honestly. you’d never see this happen in any other league
Lol… Like anyone would choose to be gay.
We don’t support immutable biology because our fake book says gay stuff is dirty.
“Choose” is the key word in this BS. I feel bad for anyone in their immediate circle that might be struggling to come out cause clearly a sweater is more important than them.
How many days a year do these guys go to Church you think? Christmas day?
What a spineless statement.
When are the players who make a statement in support of the night going to weigh in? Who will they be?
🤡
Exodus 34:21 Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest
They seem to have no problem setting aside their Christian morals to work on Sunday playing hockey games for the greed of millions. Seems like they have no sense of morals and only care about greed and ego.
« We will not speaking any further on this matter. »
In other words: wE dOn’T wAnT tO bE hUmIlIaTeD wItH qUeStIoNs FrOm PreSs
How about instead of making a statement about why you aren’t wearing the pride jersey and sounding douchy about it, just don’t do the warm up and keep your mouth shut. The whole making the statement feels too much like “look at me”.
Just here for the comments.
Nhl will scrap this after this season is over , more and more players are refusing .
If you support it, great. If not, whatever.
They probably weren’t scared to say anything because the Panthers arent relevant enough
They are free to do this. I am free to think less of them for doing it. Ain’t freedom great?
Better make sure they don’t play on Sundays then
It’s real easy to pick and choose what you believe from the infallible Word of God and nearly every Christian does. The ones who believe the whole Bible are insane and generally terrible ethically. I wonder if these brave men would care to weigh in on these verses (all from the New Testament to counter those who want to say the Old Testament doesn’t count):
[1 Timothy 2:12](https://biblehub.com/1_timothy/2-12.htm) – I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
[1 Corinthians 14:34–35](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1-corinthians/14/34-35) – the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
[Matthew 6:24](https://biblehub.com/matthew/6-24.htm) – No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
[Luke 18:25](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018%3A25&version=NIV) – Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.
[Matthew 5:32](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A32&version=NIV) – But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Oh, and about the idea that Old Testament rules don’t count (which I’m reading a lot in this thread): [Matthew 5:17-18](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205%3A17-18&version=NIV) – Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
So the Old Testament counts for as long as there’s a universe, women be quiet and serve men, don’t be wealthy (which these guys definitely are), and divorce is adultery/divorced women are forever to be alone. All straight from the Bible – you can open up your own one at home and read if you don’t believe me. We never hear about brave Christians taking stands on those issues…
Can’t wait to start seeing players sit out on military night too. I wonder how much hate Fox will spew towards the first player to do that.
All these Christian players really need to stop playing on Sunday too.
Man, I’m so sick of people hiding behind religion to justify their positions. Jesus commanded us to love one another unconditionally (like he did), and the “as a Christian…” bullshit sounds pretty fucking conditional.
There’s a reason I stopped going to church…
“Helping the Florida panthers win the Stanley cup” is the most ridiculous part of this statement and the whole thing is a steaming pile of Christian hypocrisy
I still think those rainbow sticks look pretty cool.
You do you booboo
« Helping the Florida Panthers win a Stanley Cup » lmao.
I want to see their browser history.
We’ll when you condemn people who don’t believe exactly what you do, this is what happens.
Good change, glad people are standing for their beliefs and still being respectful
Don’t play on Sundays.
