Tonight is Pride Night for the #CarolinaHurricanes. In the current climate, this means saying it's Pride night, wielding a rainbow logo on social media, and selling Pride-y merch. No on-ice representation, nothing formal. Just consumerism. Fuck you Gary Bettman. #CosoPuck
@Graci
It is sad that it is only a profit-chasing maneuver and nothing more
@publickovacs It used to be decent,. The NHL had a good inclusivity program. Pride nights included discounts for LGBTQ orgs, Pride themed jerseys for warmup. Many players used rainbow tape on their sticks. Then MAGA and the religious right started up
@Graci
A sad sad development
Too bad MAGA and the religious right can't limit themselves to watching NASCAR drivers going in circles, or the NFL's big beefy men bending over in front of each and patting each other on the ass when they make a play, followed by a group shower.
@Graci @publickovacs I have monetized your movement, pray I do not monetize it further...
And there are plenty of people mad that they've done this much.
"Glad I'm not going."
"Hoping Florida wins."
"Another woke mess"
"For 1 game I am a Panthers fan"
"When is the night for my child who identifies as an attack helicopter?"
"Everyone who goes should be arrested for grooming"
"Leave that shit out of hockey. Carolina PERVS"
"The rainbow belongs to GOD not pervs"
"Boycott any player who plays tonight"
"Good way to round them all up in one place"
