Awww, there’s nothing like the bringers of tolerance losing their minds because a single hockey player refuses to wear an LGBTQIA+ (cripes that’s getting longer, lol) jersey due to his own religious beliefs. And you know, he shouldn’t have to wear the damn jersey and he shouldn’t have to release a statement as to WHY he won’t BUT this is 2023 and everything is dumb.
And getting dumber.
James Reimer released a statement about refusing the jersey and sportswriter Lindsay Gibbs whose entire focus in writing on sexism in sports (you know she’s a lot of fun at birthday parties) LOST her mind. Look at her ridiculous thread:
We’re pretty sure Jesus isn’t overly concerned about a jersey, Lindsay, but He probably does care about his soul, his heart, etcetera.
It’s a JERSEY, lady.
No one said otherwise.
Right. It’s a jersey. Why are you so worked up about it?
And again, you know she’s a blast to hang out with.
Wow.
It’s obviously awful that so many hockey players, etc, won’t wear pride shirts. But what pisses me off even more is when they won’t wear pride shirts but still INSIST that they don’t hate the LGBTQ community. If you don’t hate the LGBTQ community, wear the shirt!! Simple!!

REEEEEE!
And no.
“I want to refuse to do this super simple thing that affirms the humanity of millions of people, but I don’t want anyone to be mean to me about it.”

Not enough Snickers bars in the WORLD to fix this broad.
Just sayin’.
Yikes.
Wow. Both the “I don’t believe in your sky god but I’ll call you a hypocrite anyway” AND the “wear the ribbon” meme.

It’s a pretty gross thread but you know, we didn’t expect much more or less reading her bio.
Nope. Your manipulation has no power here. I don't have to do anything to prove to the masses that I am for or against anything. Compelled speech is the weapon of tyrants.

Most people don't GAFF about your stupid shirts.

This is the man’s heart felt belief. You are proving a lot of peoples suspicions that you are trying to force people to do something against what they believe in. You seem to me to be trying to enforce the rule of a mob. pic.twitter.com/G4yOuTL9kl

Hockey will be fine. If you truly believed Christians were welcome anywhere on earth you wouldn’t try to make them sport your robes. We don’t ask Muslims to please eat bacon either. If you want to coexist- you’ll have to do so by graciously accepting “No” as an answer.

How very Maoist of you.
