  • "NHL caves to bigots, let's them win"

    While I didn't support the performance move anyway, this sends a message that homophobia is a big enough influence in their sport to dictate policy.

    • The fact that they're still doing everything else just draws attention to it being weak ass rainbow capitalism.

  • Well that's pretty shitty

    Especially given the reasons in the article

    • It sucks but given the reasons they listed it makes sense. There's no mechanism to have someone expelled from the league for being a bigot, and it became a form of protest against LGBT rights and acceptance to refuse to wear the jersey. It sadly winds up undermining the entire purpose of those events.
