    it should be about the game, not whatever social, political, or economic issue the player is interested in.

    How naive to think that there has never been any social or political commentary in sports. No Jackie Robinson, no Muhammad Ali, nothing. Right?

      I didn’t say there wasn’t, I said there shouldn’t. If players want to make political or social commentary, they should do it outside of the game itself. But once they’re suited up and playing, it should be all about the game.

        Please feel free to protest, but only in the way I want you to.

        That sums up what you’re saying, right?

        What players do off the ice is irrelevant, what matters here is that there are teams that still want to do pride warmups, but they can’t.

        You haven’t yet given a good reason for why teams shouldn’t be able to use pride related jerseys during warmups, and that’s because there really isn’t a good reason.

          I have no problem with teams using pride related jerseys during warmups and practices.

          I thought this article was mostly discussing pride tape use during games.

            True you’re right.

            I assumed this was the extension of the pride related equipment.

            It just being tape used on stickes makes this even more unreasonable to be upset over. 😂

              I know, right?

              I’m happy to line up in protest over the NHL restricting jerseys and whatnot in warmups, but complaining about stick tape is silly.

              Once the game starts, everyone should wear the same jerseys and tape their sticks the same way. That sounds reasonable to me.
