    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.

        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.

          Many national anthems are fairly radical political manifestos.

          Just because they’ve been put to some music and we’ve gotten used to them doesn’t make them any less radical.

          It’s funny to think that statements like “arise, children of the fatherland, against the bloody flag of tyranny” or “O Lord our God arise, scatter our enemies and make them fall!” or “Let’s unite, we’re ready to die! For centuries we’ve been stamped on and laughed at because we’re not one people” should be completely okay and everybody should stand and listen in awe, but “black lives matter” would be too radical and too political for the same setting.

      Your comment to keep politics out of hockey is also political, so you should delete it or accept your own hypocrisy.

      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.

      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.

        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.

          So all the straight players never mention their wives, girlfriends, or sexual conquests to their teammates? They just keep that to themselves? Bullshit. Straight people are never told to “keep their sexuality to themselves.”

              Your opinion is one of a raging asshole’s. Be a dick, get treated like a dick.

              Whine about it, and you only show yourself more. “Boo hoo, everyone is being mean about me being hostile against LGBT people.” Grow a spine if you’re going to be hateful.

                A raging asshole wants to just vibe instead of getting bombarded with politics? What even happened to make you like this? I don’t hate lgbt, I just don’t feel like hearing about it all day, it gets old.

                  Nobody hears about it all day unless they’re looking for it, living it, or notice it all the time because they resent it.

                  The fact that you see sexuality is political gives it all away. But yes, you get the vibe you create. It’s not everyone else’s fault that you don’t even realize what you’re saying.

                  And some things are black and white. If you think banning expression to acknowledge that entire population of people exists is a good thing, you’re a homophobe. Quit being a triggered snowflake. We get it, you’re uncomfortable with gay people. Stfu and move along.

                    I mean, if anyone seems triggered it might be you. I don’t agree with this guy but I’m also bored with politics saturating every aspect of life. I don’t think anyone should be prevented from expressing themselves, but I also like the game for the game. Wait let me guess, I now also hate gay people, right?

                    Who said anything about banning? I sure as hell didn’t. I just said it’d be great if athletes could just play the game instead of trying to be politicians. I am a homophobe because of that? You’re sick man…

      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.

      • 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.
