    “NHL caves to bigots, let’s them win”

    While I didn’t support the performance move anyway, this sends a message that homophobia is a big enough influence in their sport to dictate policy.

      The fact that they’re still doing everything else just draws attention to it being weak ass rainbow capitalism.

        Here’s the thing about rainbow capitalism, it shows that we are a large enough group that it’s worth it to advertise to us.

          True. But that’s still just support for our money, and not us.

      It sucks but given the reasons they listed it makes sense. There’s no mechanism to have someone expelled from the league for being a bigot, and it became a form of protest against LGBT rights and acceptance to refuse to wear the jersey. It sadly winds up undermining the entire purpose of those events.
