It's such a dumb rule. Tape is tape, are they afraid the goalies won't see the puck?
It's not even for during game time, it's during warmups. It affects nothing allowing whatever tape (or jerseys) they want.
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.
My existence is not a political statement.
And colorful tape didn’t have to be political either. Banning shit like that, or pride, blm, or any other non-hate based messaging is fucking ridiculous.
That's great, does your existence need to be announced in everything? I don't do that with mine.
You're kind of doing it right now with your bad takes, just like I am when commenting on this post. It's as stupid as saying "keep politics out", a life in community IS political, like it or not…
Nah, not really.
I don't care if you're gay, I'm just sick of seeing rainbows everywhere.
I don't care if you're Christian, I'm just sick of seeing crosses everywhere.
That's also annoying, but it's not as widespread anymore as the pride stuff.

LOL!!!
How can you possibly say that? There are literal temples in the US with crosses all over them. These temples, in some cases, have crosses made of gold.
Are you out of your mind, bro?
Yea totally forgot how the christians aren't continually trying to enforce their religion in our schools…that never happens at all
lmfao, you either don't live in the US or are literally blind. You can't walk down the road without passing three churches.
Really? Bcz I still see them all the time.
100% delusional
Hahahaha bro. You’ve got to be kidding.
Did you forget about the "In God We Trust" on all the money? Or does that not count somehow
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Fucking bruh, kids are forced to say thins every fucking day in schools across the USA
Coming up next the latest episode of troll or delusional
Then hate the people that made it necessary to show them as much as possible
Ah so you just don't like being reminded gay people exist.
I dont care how you feel about rainbows and I'm sick of hearing from bigots.
Arent opinions fun. :)

"Yes…yes, it's happened again, mum… In the sky this time. There's two of them. I just…I just can't… Okay, see you soon…Yes, Mr Fluffy, please… Love you too. Please hurry."
That must be so hard for you. Need a hug?
Buy tinted sunglasses.
keep any kind of politics out of it
In favor of no national anthems then?
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.
Nationalism is a political statement even if you don’t want to believe it is.
Fair enough
Not because national anthems are political, that's one of the dunbest things that's been said in this thread
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.
Well, get rid of em then. Idgaf
Your comment to keep politics out of hockey is also political, so you should delete it or accept your own hypocrisy.
Is this what no bitches does to a man
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.
No, if it's shit snd weird shit goes on stop watching and sending money their way. It'll sort itself out or die
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."
"For the love of god"
Why do you people have to keep dragging religion into this?
It's an expression that is in the zeitgeist. Like an axe to grind or a pot to piss in. It has trancended literal interpretation.
Wait. Then why did I buy that piss pot? I thought I was upgrading from my gamer bottle.
based
Indubitably.
You don't deserve that username.
Oh my bad random internet wanker, I'll just send someone virtuous like yourself the login
It's been four hours. Where is it?
I really disagree with your opinion, but this comment was funny, you get my upvote lol
You can disagree with my opinion and not be a complete dick. Lotta people here forgot that a disagreement on something that barely matters does not make us arch enemies
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.
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.
It does if you're supporting the enemy
The fucking enemy lol. I'm not supporting anyone, I just don't feel like having all the bullshit mixed in with literally everything. Not everything is so black and white, you weirdo
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.
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.
No let them do tape with shit like that, so the teams can fire them and they out themselves.
WHOA, EVERYBODY! We got a straight, white guy here. Everybody back away and let him speak! /s
That's racist and uninclusive, hypocrite.
We got a cissy here, folks
Only a straight white guy would get that upset at being called a straight white guy
A lot of assumptions, I thought you guys hated those
And who do you mean by “you guys” exactly?
Snowflake is triggered
The real Uncle Iron would be disappointed in you.
The real uncle iroh sexually assaulted a paralized girl dumbass
Should change your name to THE_REAL_Uncle_Iroh.
Snowflake energy

Found the closet bottom that's ashamed to tell people he like it up the ass.
That's very specific buddy… is there something you want to talk about?
It's okay if rainbow tape is your fetish. Definitely nothing wrong with your asshole throbbing any time you see someone supporting gay rights. Don't be ashamed!
You’re very strange
Lmao you’ve got at least one guy on your side. I didn’t think anyone sane was on this commie shithole of a community
Removed by mod
Explain, because that's a hell of an assumption. Why is it that you think everyone in and around sports is a homophobe?
I downvoted you while at an NHL game.

You don't have to play sports to know this is a stupid rule. If you weren't a goon you would know that.
