Bowing to American Nazis (including some who are #NHL hockey players), the league has banned players from the on-ice display of support for the #LGBT community, including a prohibition on pride tape. This follows the league’s action last season banning teams from holding pride nights. Good to know where the NHL stands. Clearly hockey is not for everyone, at least in the NHL. #sports #hate #hockey #YouCanPlay

The NHL sent a memo to teams last week clarifying what players can and cannot do as part of theme celebrations this season, including a ban on the use of rainbow-coloured stick tape for the Pride nights that have become a hot-button issue in hockey.
I guess the #NHL forgot about all the other things #hockey aficionados can do with their time — like watching #SlapShot instead.
Together we can spread love, champion diversity, and fight for equality around the world. Be a part of the change.
