It’s actually kind of pathetic that anyone would try and make such a big deal out of this. It shows what a loser Reimer is. Just wear the jersey you whiny jerk.

Agreed there, wearing a piece of fabric with rainbow colors is harmless to those who disagree, meanwhile it has a positive impact in the gay community. That's why I would wear one, to make people in the LGBTQ community feel like they have a place in hockey. But I do feel like those who (stupidly) disagree are overly chastised in some instances. I don't know everything of what was said to Reimer, but if I had to venture a guess, his dinkish decision has had a very significant blowback.
