The NHLs take a knee moment, how inspiring for them.
Target showed the way now other corps are walking back 10 years of diversity statements and commitments that were empty markering to begin with for most.
Shit, what did I miss with Target? They’ve def always seemed pretty open and let their employees wear little flag or pronoun pins. Or do you mean them removing pride merch in June after all the threats on their employees/stores?
One doesn't even have to know what hockey is to automatically identify this as stupid as fuck.
As someone who likes hockey, holy fuck. Tape? Yeah, if that's the mentality of whomever is running the NHL, fuck y'all. This isn't like players are changing the dynamic or anything important at all to the game, and quite frankly in support of a very important message.
I'd like to demand that the staff who passed this all step the fuck down in disgrace. All of them.
Good news, this shit has zero impact on the game you're trying to watch.
Which is why banning it is so stupid. If you're such a huge bigot that being reminded that people who are different from you exist, and that reminder is enough to ruin hockey for you then that's on you.
IDK, I'm kind of mixed on this one. On the one hand, I don't mind seeing rainbow tape on their stick (I wear pride stuff during pride month), but I'd disagree with seeing political ads or even branding for products.
There should absolutely be some rules here, and a no tolerance policy is the easiest to enforce fairly. If they allow rainbow flags for expression, they should probably also allow political and commercial expression as well. So I'd rather have a no tolerance policy than a subjective one that many will disagree with.
Welp as other industries have learned when you pander to a small minority and alienate other fans your industry starts to collapse. Look at comic books or bud light.
You throw words like bigot around. But your just showing your ignorance. I just want to be able to enjoy entertainment without having causes shoved down my throat.
Would you be happy of the NHL allows Isreal flag tape and do Isreal pride night's? I don't want that shit either.
