I’m a Christian myself and really have no opinion on this whole saga, other than irritation.
If I was blessed enough to play in the NHL, I wouldn’t have any issue wearing a fuckin’ jersey for what, 15-20 minutes?

Sometime soon, “I didnt know that was a pride jersey. I thought it was about a racism cause because of the colors. I have always been faithful to my religion. Had i known it at the time, i would’ve refused to wear it, the same I as I did this week. I believe everyone has a right to live their life the way they choose but for me personally, I cant endorse it because of my faith. God bless you all.”

Ooh well he forgot 🙄

Man, this guy is exactly as smart as he looks, isn’t he?

Maybe he forgot??

Maybe he’s just stupid? Also does this guy even still play in the NHL? I haven’t noticed him at all for quite a while.

Lying SOB. Typical Habs player

“That wasn’t me. That was some other guy wearing #21 for the Habs!”

The most insecure men can’t even wear a rainbow patch, eat lucky charms, enjoy a sprinkle from the rain, spray his kids with a hose, shit he better be careful of light prisms. These rainbows out to get him.

That’s pretty much the amount of intelligence these guys are bringing to their side of the argument.
Bunch of blindly religious idiots who have no idea what their religion actually stands for.

Fun fact, the only reason the term homosexuality appears in the bible is because of a mistranslation from the 1940s, the original was talking about pedophiles, not homosexuals.

What a tool

Is this even a real quote? Or fake news. I doubt he said this.

A beautiful example of Christian hypocrite.
I am a Christian myself and I know that not all Christians are like this, but this is really a great example of why people trash the Christianity. They can literally promote any opinion they want and find an argument why it’s OK with no consistency with other Christian rules.

Maybe he thought it was just rainbow theme night

A few too many concussions must have scrambled that fools brain.
Or he’s a lying SOB, take your pick 🤷♂️

Using your Christian beliefs and/or the Bible as an excuse not to support the LBGTQ community is such a cop out. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years about the majority of Christians I know (yes, this is anecdotal), it’s that they all pick and choose what they want to abide by in their religion. Somehow though, what the religion says about same gender fornication is a hard staple throughout the community. To be crystal clear, I don’t think anyone should be forced to wear a jersey that supports something they themselves do not. My issue is when your excuse is absolute balderdash. Be a man and just tell it like it is. Just don’t cry and complain when the majority of people ridicule you for it. Those are called consequences, it’s an adult thing.

This is good actually.
Let’s face it … being called a bigot is the worst thing you can be called today. Every now and then someone slips up and reveals themselves. Well this whole shlamazzle has given us the gift of knowing who in the NHL is.
Thank you Ivan Provorov, James Reimer and the Staal brothers. We know who you are!
The fact that this guy abjectly denies the evidence shows you what a meat puppet he is.
The Staal brothers being good Christians is a hilarious joke. Aren’t they known as being crazy partiers or something? I remember there being a running joke about them on the Fan 590 years ago.

I wonder if when Eric watches porn, if he likes the guy to be flaccid or if he likes the guy to have a hard throbbing cock?

He’s clearly in the closet. Just let him come out when he’s ready.

He gets more money from people that explicitly don’t like LGBT people I thought that was baltantly obvious…

So fucking disingenuous. Homosexuality is against your religion? So what? Nobody is asking you to suck a dick. They’re asking you to wear a jersey to show support those people you claim to have nothing but love for.
I hope the jersey that you finally decide to wear isn’t made up of two different materials, because that goes against your religion as well.

That’s not a pride jersey, it’s a chandail de fierté.

Used to be where you get harassed if you were gay, now you get harassed if you don’t support them

Who cares. This sub kinda sucks.

He was spitting and stuttering like he was being questioned about a murder.

Apparently, he thought these were the Lucky Charms edition Habs jerseys

Can all the cry babies go make a separate sub? I would usually just scroll past this dumb shit but these kinds of non hockey posts are taking over.

Hatred and intolerance hiding behind religious belief. I guess he observes the Sunday Sabbath and doesn’t play on Sunday’s right?
He is under contract to the NHL and wears what they tell him to wear.

You’ve never heard a Christian conservative lying? Gosh, have i got news for you…

If the NHL cared so much, it would be on more than a warm up jersey.
Doyouloveme2222
Y’all suck, he has every right to not have to wear a jersey and you can’t tell him why he choose to do so. This is America and the beauty is you can’t force your beliefs on to someone else. Right or wrong
ice_nyne
Using the same logic…Staal was never a New York Ranger. Oh sure, he was photographed wearing the uniform, but I refuse to believe he was a Blueshirt.

Enough FFS. Is there an NHL Hockey thread out there somewhere?
