But he does not profit directly from that, correct?
I imagine that the team as a whole might get a cut, but...
Regards,
Yes, it is sad. But on the brighter side of things, I read yesterday that Provorovs’s jersey and other memorabilia is sold out everywhere (retail stores, NHL website, Amazon, etc). That is a powerful indicator that there is a silent majority that disagrees with this LBGT / woke agenda crap.
The NFL is doing fine.
Getting drunk and sniffing jocks is too important for average Americans.
support sexual deviants or the sexual deviants will attack you, your employer, your friends, and your home.
long passed the time for direct action
How bout supporting the game of Hockey. Thats what you are there for. STOP POSING.
This little, bitty, tiny victory for decency is surprising coming from a professional sports organization.
I like to think it has something to do with Governor DeSantis taking the NHL to the woodshed a few days ago.
His jersey is the Number One selling NHL jersey
My view has always been that things like this are a terms of employment issue.
If my contract doesn’t dictate that I wear some garbage logo or expression, then I ain’t doing it. If it makes someone money (which it does), and I’m not getting paid to help them, then screw them.
Legitimate charities I might consider. But it’s my body, my choice.
I suspect the next step will be for the NHL and/or individual teams to incorporate some kind of political/cultural bullsh!t on their team jerseys for actual play. They may even do it through a licensing agreement with the sponsoring company for those jerseys (Nike, for example).
The player will have a harder time to object to that unless he's willing to sit out a game or an indefinite series of games.
Finally, someone with common sense....
I'd say it has more to do with the terms of the NHL-NHLPA collective bargaining agreement.
Good for Ivan Provorov... it’s time to stand up to sexual weirdo bullies.
In five years the rest of the team will be wearing S&M Pride outfits - with chains. Or stranger... This ‘celebrate sexual kinks’ pride crap is nuts.
I’m stunned more players didn’t join him.
I suspect sold out. I live in South Jersey. Flyer’s are very popular here. Many of the old player and lots of present ones live in the area. The company may have gone woke but the fan base are Ed Snyder types. Quite the anger when they pulled the Kate Smith statue. What a bunch of cowards they were doing it in the dead of night.

Oops, you beat me to it. lol
I know, I stole it, it was hilarious.
Absolute BS. They'd be thrown out of the league for wearing a shirt that said:
MAGA
All Lives Matter
It's Okay To Be White
How about “Caliph Baraq is my Homeboy” ??
