Canadian Journalist Melts Down After Flyers Player Provorov Wouldn’t Wear a Pride Jersey

EXCERPT:

SEIXEIRO: “I just think the NHL has to do something. This is not good enough. This is not good enough. ‘Hockey is for everyone...unless you don’t agree with gay rights’ is not the phrasing of this. You’re either in this or you’re not. And one last point: nothing scares me more than any human being who says, I’m not doing this because of my religious beliefs, because when you look in people’s lives who normally say that publicly, you’d throw up at what you saw. You would throw up at what you saw. And I’ve seen that a million times in a lot of different ways. So don’t give me that. With respect, don’t give me that, because no one’s perfect. Alright? Don’t feed me the religious beliefs line, and all of a sudden the NHL is going to back off this. The National Hockey League today needs to fine that organization a million dollars or reevaluate how they support gay rights, because that is insulting. That is the number one trending topic in Canada. That is insulting what happened in Philadelphia. And if the NFL is serious about this — they say they are, we’ll see. We’ll see how serious they are today, but that whole thing was mishandled. And a part of me couldn’t believe it, part of me could, considering how the NHL sometimes handles things.”
