It’s not even for during game time, it’s during warmups. It affects nothing allowing whatever tape (or jerseys) they want.

Or, or, just play the fucking game and for the love of god please keep any kind of politics out of it. Not everything needs to be filled with statements.
Aiastarei@lemmy.world 2 years ago
My existence is not a political statement.
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 years ago
And colorful tape didn’t have to be political either. Banning shit like that, or pride, blm, or any other non-hate based messaging is fucking ridiculous.

I don’t care if you’re gay, I’m just sick of seeing rainbows everywhere.
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That’s great, does your existence need to be announced in everything? I don’t do that with mine.
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 years ago
In favor of no national anthems then?
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yes, for the love of fucking god. Not because national anthems are political, that’s one of the dunbest things that’s been said in this thread, but because they’re an annoying waste of time. I wanna watch the sport, stop singing weirdo’s.

“For the love of god”
Why do you people have to keep dragging religion into this?
GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It’s an expression that is in the zeitgeist. Like an axe to grind or a pot to piss in. It has trancended literal interpretation.
money_loo@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You realize the tape was the result of research that showed that hockey was the least homosexual friendly sport to play, right?
It’s supposed to be for everyone, but then they get angry at you if you’re gay.
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Least homosexual sport is a bunch of shit mate. What, you gonna perform worse if you’re gay? If you play the game and keep your sexuality to yourself like everyone else I doubt there’s an issue.
JohnnyH842@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Idk in a game that has historically had issues with sexual assault and hazing and enough people speaking out about not feeling welcome, don’t you think it’s kind of important to address in one way or another? It’s making noise because it’s going against the status quo. NHL made a decision based on the beliefs of like 10 players vs the rest of the league who supported pride nights.
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 2 years ago
No, if it’s shit snd weird shit goes on stop watching and sending money their way. It’ll sort itself out or die

That’s racist and uninclusive, hypocrite.

How about we let the players do what they feel like and stop trying to nanny them over what they can and can’t do with their own shit. Fucking weirdo.
sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 years ago
It would be nice if the NHL would have an list of approved tapes. And the approval process was really quick and painless, just to keep out tape with swastikas or whatnot.

That’s very specific buddy… is there something you want to talk about?
JewGoblin@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I see this site is just like Reddit, it’s like the plague, everyone that downvoted this doesn’t watch or has ever played sports
stillwater@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Explain, because that’s a hell of an assumption. What exactly is inherent to sports that everyone is missing when downvoting someone dumb enough to say sexuality is political?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 years ago
I downvoted it while at an NHL game.

Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You don’t have to play sports to know this is a stupid rule. If you weren’t a goon you would know that.
