(Seinfeld reference in thread title)
Flyers' Ivan Provorov labeled 'homophobic'
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov faced backlash for his decision to boycott the organization’s Pride night to support the LGBTQ+ community.
Provorov didn’t participate in pregame warmups when the team wore Pride-themed jerseys and used sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape. He cited his Russian Orthodox religion as the reason why he didn’t participate. He eventually played in the game against the Anaheim Ducks.
"I respect everybody and I respect everybody’s choices," he told reporters after the game. "My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion. That’s all I’m going to say."

Knowing no more than what's in this post, I'd say boo hiss to whoever had the bright idea about the jerseys and the rainbow tape. That was nuts.

I'm sure hockey players are very pro-LGBTQXYZ and all that.

how completely absurd is it to force employees to dress a certain way to indicate their support for men who are sexually attracted to other men.

Those who have been around a long time will remember me saying that the goal was not acceptance, not tolerance, but endorsement.

Tolerance.
Just another hate filled, angry leftist. Not uncommon.

My thinking as well. The problem is not with Provorov.
Like his coach, John Tortarelli, said, “Provorov is being true to himself and his religion”.

Good for him but he is not doing himself any favours by bringing soccer or even further discussing his refusal to participate.
