The New York Rangers said they support individuals' rights to express their beliefs after players did not wear Pride Night warm-up jerseys ahead of Friday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Players were widely expected to take the ice to warm up wearing jerseys and using Pride-themed tape that honored the LGBTQ+ community as part of the NHL team's seventh annual Pride Night.

"Our organization respects the LGBTQ+ community and we are proud to bring attention to important local community organizations as part of another great Pride Night," Rangers said in a statement. A pre-game advertisement showed Rangers made other gestures in support of Pride Night, including a charitable donation to a group that supports homeless LGBTQ+ youth, and Madison Square Garden was illuminated in rainbow lights during the game.

They don’t owe their soul to the company store.

Flyers + Rangers + NHL = BIGOTS

Grownups and common sense starting to prevail...

How dare they have their own free will and beliefs

This is so stupid. There is so much bigger shit going on in America and the world, and you're writing about rainbow tape on a hockey stick. Hope AI takes your job. I honestly do. You're not doing anything at all to benefit society.

+1 for America. -1 for leftist ideologs!!!!!

To the reporters credit, beliefs is not in scare quotes in the story. So sounds like this was an editor’s change to the headline.

Reuters “news agency” back to “scare quotes” again. Notice “gay pride” and “diversity” are never in scare quotes. JoeConchaTV

‘What the fuck’ is wrong with you people

Why should EVERYONE have to wear a pride jersey? If you want to, then do it. If you don't want to, then don't. Why make a huge deal out of it? Better yet, keep politics out of sports entirely.

Good! No need to force this on people

Your daily reminder that Reuters is hot leftist diarrhea

'Huh?'

“Beliefs,” huh? 🚨When do you think the NHL should force-feed Nazem Kadri a bacon torpedo for virtuous diversity, tolerance and inclusion? Y’know, to teach him a good hard delicious-tasting lesson about how awful religious beliefs are!

Can you explain why you put 'beliefs' in quotes?

'beliefs' amiright? 😂😂😂

Wear the ribbon or your homophobic, accept our gay lifestyle, or are you hateful.. comply with our thoughts or your against us....

I'm assuming you don't lend much value to the 'beliefs' of others. Oh no, wrongthink! Ungood!

Stunning?

Most gay people just want to live their lives like every other straight person. We don’t give a rats ass about rainbow hockey jerseys!

“Beliefs”

What?! Who dares resist the hive mind?

I didn't know that they moved the New York Rangers to the deep south. I mean it makes sense, hockey is visibly one of the whitest sports imaginable.

Stop trying to force this mess on the rest of us.

respect me but not thee

I love that athletes are putting their foot down to all this gay pride shit that is rammed down our throat by the press.

Gee, that's awfully nice of them. Not everyone bows to the altar of perversion.

Reuters does not believe in freedom of religion....Reuters is also Owned by pfizer

Why do you people believe someone choice to be gay is important to normal people. Nobody gives a rats ass about the LGBTQ and their agendas

Hockey fans hate groomers

Thanks for this 'news'

If wearing the jersey is mandatory, then your inclusion is actually exclusion.

So brave to agree with mainstream always! Wow!

Reuters … a “news organization” sucks balls.

Why the ''? Could your bigotry be showing any clearer?

Reuters is a complete disgrace

This rainbow symbol has become worse than the Svastika!

'Beliefs' are part of the 1st amendment fyi

People need to be forced to celebrate or go to prison for having different beliefs

Duh

Why did you put quotes around beliefs?

Lets go Rangers!!

Do not bow to the gay Taliban.

Less people agree with this crap than they want us to think... Comments are golden

Good. Everyone is tired of the gay BS

🤮

The Rangers support sexual deviants?

🤡

As it should be 👍

You guys sound so disappointed that someone would have and act on their own thoughts.

🤨

I ‘believe’ this may get ratio’d

🗽🗽🗽

Oops, typo. Should read as follows: Rangers 'back' right to beliefs after Pride Night jerseys absent from warm-ups.

Conform to the 2SLGBTIAP+ agenda or be destroyed. The 'P' is for pedophile.

Weird how fast the left went from 'tolerate our lifestyle' to 'You will promote our lifestyle or else'

The Knights Who Say Ni are now LGBT. No shrubbery solicitation, the demand is queer adoration. Deny them and they'll say bigotry. (They still despise the word 'it' though.)

I made spaghetti tonight. 🍝 Yes, it is not vegan so don’t bother asking. Anybody want seconds? :)

As it should be. I am a gay man and still - this authoritarian bullshit needs to stop

They aren't '''beliefs''', they're just beliefs.

Triggered by beliefs What is actually triggering you is diversity, that same thing you cultishly champion. Beliefs are just a diversity you don’t like.

I am going to just start walking up to random strangers and SCREAMING in their faces that I an hetero and like sex with women. Because, ya know, that stuff is now the 'new normal', right?

sucks being in the fringe minority, doesn't it?

Why the fuck would you put beliefs in quotation 😂😂😂

Hockey will not cancel itself by going woke

Penalty, Rangers: Two minutes for wrongthink. Vegas on the power play.

This is bait and switch. Fans should get refunds.

'pride'

Please delete your company.

persecutionnews

Let's have pride in our team, our country, our state, our school. So sick of others showing pride in their preferred sexual desires. We don't need to know.

That Playa should have just ran to his car and got his rainbow jersey.

In less than ten years we went from making gay marriage legal to now expecting athletes to wear a LGBT rainbow pride jersey every night, the slippery slope is real.

'Reuters' used to be a news organization.

I feel like players (& most people) support the LGB community. After reading the LGBWithoutTheT trend, LGB has disdain for the TQ+ (re: child sex-changes & grooming behaviors,) & the rising resistance to 'LGBTQ+' is obvious. LGB never asked to be joined to TQ+ mental illness.

‘beliefs’?

They aren't beliefs? What are they, then?

If it isn’t a ‘belief’ that is shared amongst the ‘pride’ community behind ‘Pride Night’ then what is it?

Beliefs insufficient reason for not going along with our agenda. - some 'journalist' at Reuters

no one cares

Good for the Rangers.

I’m sorry “beliefs” are happening to you

The scare quotes lol

Thank you for respecting your players' individual beliefs, NYRangers

Where does it say anyone has a right to “beliefs?” Welcome to DeSantis’ America.

Idiots

✍️uh✍️oh✍️

Why else would they refuse to wear them, if not beliefs?

People upset about this don’t want acceptance, they want conformity even if it’s smoke and mirrors

“Beliefs” 🤡

'Beliefs'

The NFL wears pink in October and camo in November...why the fuck is the NHL 'supposed' to wear pride jerseys in January?!?

Nice scare quotes.

“Beliefs” in scare quotes. Go to hell Rainbow Fascists.

'You must wear the Jersey you bigot' -Reuters

Yay diversity!

How cringe ...never enough

waaah

How bout we just stick to sports and leave the politics out of it 🤷🏻‍♀️

There should be as much pressure as possible to end politics in sports. They used to just play the games. Those were good times.

Are the players paid to play hockey or to be forced billboards for drag queen story hour?

The Cult of Queer must not be questioned!!! You will obey!!

'journalism'

I’m bi and I think it’s weird and absurd to force people to be performative against their will. If anything, it just causes resentment.

Newsmax

Why didn’t the Rangers players who support LGBTQ+ just have the balls the wear the jerseys and the ones who didn’t wore their regular ones. They can believe what they want. Now they all look like jerks.

Certified “Journo” Moment

Bend the knee, or else!

'Journalism'

Buttsex is ok and the rangers should say so

Their bodies their choice.

Learn to code

“Beliefs” in quotes. 🫠

DESTROY THEM

LGR

Why shouldn't every player be allowed their own beliefs? Why must they conform to yours?

'beliefs' 🤔

“Journalism”

LMAO, wtf kind of headline is this? Yikes don't after the pride jerseys and drag queens🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why is the word beliefs in quotes?

The media when a sports team won't wear their rainbow jerseys for 15 minutes:

Oh NO!!!! Not 'beliefs'!!!!

Reuters backs belief they're 'journalists'

Lol

Quotes? Are they real beliefs?

What if people who want rainbow tape are allowed it for warmups & then we all moved on with our lives?

A bunch of snowflakes on the ice.

Uh why was it ever required at warm ups. This should be lawsuit territory

Progressive fascists:

Based

Good for them.

This world wants peace to push the dictators of rusia and china out of this earth

I'm starting to become a NYRangers fan now

Calkiem was juz pojebalo.

This is not 'Pride Night'. This is to show support for men who say they are women to be receive scholarships to play women's sports. Do not be fooled. This is not about protecting homosexual players or to stop bullying.

Its a tough situation, respecting the individual player's beliefs versus forcing them as a team to all comply. The LGBTQ community never forces anyone to agree with them, just accept them as part of society. Forcing someone to wear a shirt or Jersey in support is not right.

I believe the issue was, some members of the team weren't comfortable supporting it (maybe religion) similar to Provorov in Philly. Rather having some players wearing Pink and some not (would look weird) they decided to abandon the whole thing without notice.

If you wanna bend the knee, better grab some knee pads first. You're going to be down there for a while.

Why put beliefs in scare quotes? What kind of ‘journalists’ are you?

Usually your proud of something you accomplish, what did the NHL accomplish

According to one player, the alternate warm-up clothing was missing from the lockers when they went to get ready. Like someone had taken it. Freedom of belief is nice, but if someone's making that choice for the team, that's not the same thing.

Will pay

Pride night is dogshit

Another reason to despise the New York Rangers.

When’s porno night and carnival sideshow month?

Rangers bail on wearing LGBTQ-themed warmup jerseys on Pride NightThe NHL's New York Rangers advertised that players would wear pride-themed jerseys during warmups Friday, but that plan was ditched at the last minute. SEND THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION TO RUSSIA!!!!! For everyone getting upset, How would you feel if you walked into work and the owner handed out Pro Life shirts for you to wear for an hour? Imagine having the audacity to hold a Pride Night & giving people the option to wear what they want? ( insert sarcasm )

Rangers Release Statement After Bungling Pride NightThe Rangers promised fans they would wear Pride-centric jerseys and tape while warming up for their game against the Golden Knights Friday evening, but went back on that promise and wore their usual uniforms I don’t get how sports teams are “expected” to wear any jersey or armband or whatever that isn’t just their team logo / mascot. The politicization of sports teams and corporations is ridiculous and just leads to more division in this country. LET IT GO! This is DOLAN’s ignorant politics. 🤡🤡🤡🤡 NYC has one of the LARGEST Thriving GAY Populations in USA. If not 1, NYC is 2 or 3. Chelsea, a Gay neighborhood, is steps away from MSG.
