I'm conflicted and fall in a weird spot, maybe this is intolerance but it's my beliefs. If I was an NHL player and pride night was coming I would absolutely be wearing a pride jersey. That community has (and still is) been marginalized and denigrated. My choice would be to wear it because I want to.
While I don't agree with Reimer and his statement, I think he has a right to not wear something he doesn't believe in. Not everyone is this world is your friend or ally and you dont need everyone to agree with you. There's ***holes everywhere.
I'd rather give the choice to the players. You wanna wear a pride jersey and look awesome in it while a couple dinks opt out? Awesome, go for it. Don't shelter those who have negative views towards the LGBTQ community, but give everyone the choice to support/not support whatever cause they wish.
