both indicated they would wear special jerseys on their Pride Nights -- the Wild announcing a charity auction for them, the Rangers sending an announcement to season-ticket holders -- only to opt out of wearing them before their games.
"Some guys don't do the tape and some guys do. is not as mandatory or in your face. So when it comes to jerseys, then it's definitely more of a decision and it kind of amounts to something like this if you choose not to wear the jersey," Reimer said after practice."When I saw other teams starting to wear jerseys, I knew that would intersect with my Christian faith."
People that are homophobic are just closeted gay people. Just come out Reimer, you’ll feel so much better.
Religion have always played a part in racism. It's a cover
It’s a mockery of God’s covenant and you will go to hell if you put that thing on
He didn’t Participate! Very different then “boycotting”. Let’s use our words wisely and appropriately.
good
This gay shit startin to look like a wheel of fortune puzzle.
👍🏾🙌🏾 inclusive until its someone who is straight
Shame on hockey. Reimer is a hero.
Good for Reimer!!!!
who? just get rid of the bigot
L 35044
How is this news. I'm sure the only ones who care are the one who feel the need to be accepted. I don't feel the need to change people's opinions about me it's anything else. Since when is there a thought police. Should try news for a change.
His has a right to his own beliefs like everyone else. Not sure why this is a story. It shouldn't be.
God bless him not bowing to the evil weakness in this world. And God bless the people who live their lives for who they are and who they love. No blessings to the evil that is throwing it down this world's throat
Good for him
Good man with great morals!
Not a big deal
Good on him
And the countdown for Mr. Reimer to come out of the closet begins in 3 - 2 - 1…
Agree 1000%. Why try to make someone go against their Christian beliefs? Know you’re Disney woke and you hate it but deal with it. hunterslaptop
Good for him!
'Stop shoving christianity down our throats' 'Wear the pride jersey or else!' 'Your personal views offend me' 'Your offending me for not agreeing with my personal views'
God Bless him.
Actually brave
Good for James nobody is waving that pride flag in Africa or the Middle East I can guarantee that
Good. Foh forcing that shit on people.
People wanna push their beliefs on u...that man has rights too.
Well done James Reimer. When humans try to humiliate, target. Coerce or force you, you don’t have to comply 👏🏼 Jesus saves. God is watching. The Holy Spirit gives you choice & im with you. Wear what ya want - keep that choice for you and God. ✝️
Why the hell is this a story?
Great move in standing up for your beliefs this gay shitt is being forced down our throats!!!
I love how ignorant people are in these comments. The Bible does say to love thy neighbor. You know what it doesn't say? Conform to the beliefs of your neighbors just to appease them. You can love someone and not agree with them....
Good Job for James I would have told where they could put that Jersey, but he handled it way better than I would have Stop pushing the Gay agenda!
Intolerant ass.
It will be folks with principals who keep this clown show from being a success.
Weather you like it or not, that is his right! Forced tolerance isn’t tolerance.
Good for him...freedom
Proceeds to give another man the reach-around 😂
Who cares
Pathetic
ITS HIS RIGHT, MAN. THATS IT ...NO VICTIMS NEED APPLY
R
Now wait just a minute. No one told me what the IA+ means.
“My body my choice” until it doesn’t agree with the woke. 😂 I’m a part of the alphabet family and I wouldn’t even wear anything like that.
Good for him, everyone has a right to stand up for their own beliefs and not allow other peoples beliefs to be shoved down their throats
Great!
Suspend him without pay. There's irrefutable evidence that LGBTQ exist unlike his made up God(s).
Good for him. Compelling speech against deeply held conviction is always wrong.
Your coercion of this Christian will come back to bit you. We will all stop watching.
I support this brave man for sticking to his beliefs. Wearing pride items should not be in sports do it on your own time. Sports is just sports not politics, ideology or opinion. Let’s just get back to playing.
Free speech. Stop trying to force feed people
AMEN BROTHER I STAND BEHIND YOU 100 PERCENT
w
Religion and Political Ideologies are two sides of the same coin. If the team asked everyone to wear a jersey celebrating the Catholic religion everyone would be appalled. We should also avoid Political Ideologies as well.
Who
I'm so tired of this level of bigotry in the NHL. First Provorov, now Reimer. You're being asked to wear a rainbow, you aren't being asked to go out and promote the community or denounce your religion or whatever. They need to grow up and stop crying like this about it
good. kudos.
Good for him, who gives a shit about that cause
If he doesn’t wanna wear it, then he shouldn’t have to. He’s not forcing Christianity on his fans, so why should his fans force something on him. It’s not a big deal
Refusing to work? Hope he was fined.
He did the right thing
Did he boycott the team's warmup skate because his teammates wore the jerseys or is it because he would be forced to wear one? That's a major difference
So he’s living a sinless life? Is he doing everything according to Christian beliefs.
There tryna make it look a lot worse then it is, he didn’t boycott lmao, all he said was he didnt want to wear it. Thats all, then in a interview he said that he doesn’t hate anyone just his beliefs thats all, he even clearly said LGBTQ community like all of us should be accepted
Poor baby
I don't blame him but leave that jesus out of it.
Good for him for standing up for what he believes in. Nobody should be forced to support something that is immoral.
Good for him for standing up to that crap
Proud of him to stand up for his values.
Hate the sin and love the sinner! I believe his refusal to wear that jersey was his hate for the sin (which the Bible states) and that he can still love the sinner. Proud of your stance, James Reiner.
Which beliefs, specifically? Say it out loud.
Too bad he sucks now.
All bs this has to stop
Shoulda fired him
Fuck that, Islanders won!🥳
What a fragile little man
Good for him! It’s a shame such jerseys exist or then anyone would wear them.
Good for him. Politics and sports shouldn’t mix
W
Why the need for jerseys in support of what people do in the privacy of their bedroom in the first place? Can there be an area of society where we’re not constantly bombarded with people’s sexuality choices? Be who you want to be but stop forcing others to participate.
No problem in standing up for what you believe in, stop cramming shit down everyone else’s throat
What if everyone in sports-media were compelled to wear a Christian flag to work, or hang a cross around their neck? Would the sodom cult in the media go along with that? Maybe most sports-fans are tired of your perverted anti-woman Trans-agenda? CBSSports NBCSports
petty man
This dude is a loser
Holy W at least he’s sticking to his beliefs
who gives a fuck when is straight night?
Good!!!
This…is gross. Thank god he’s a free agent and his contracts up this year. Ain’t no hate quite like Christian love and it’s heartbreaking to think of how many fans he just disappointed/invalidated by making this choice. Hope the Sharks realize what he’s done to their brand
He boycotted a warm up skate? So brave…
Good for him! Ppl today stand on their heads to bend to a minority of mentally ill individuals’ demand for rights bcz of choices they make largely in their bedrooms, it’s nice to see some1 stand up for moral values. Stop putting your bedroom choices on display & demand rights!
So let us Christians have a Christian night. Make everyone wear crosses on their jerseys and whoever refuses will be a bigot and non inclusive
Only in American where a man can be bashed for his beliefs by people who are forcing their beliefs on them 😒😒😒😒
It's not hate. We love the person but don't accept the sin.
Good for him, live and let live.
The Alphabet Mafia is big mad
If this is his religious belief, I don’t see the problem.
Well done! Stood up for what he believes in
Bro you’re super soft for this lmao. Grow up sir.
I support gay and trans ppl but ya'll just adding fake letters and threw an etcetera on at the end and all I know is that shit don't do anything but hurt the cause lol
and his very right.
Good for him!! I’m glad he stood up to that garbage!
Clown
Sports and politics don't mix. People often turn to sports to get away from politics
Hero
Inclusion is supposed to be a Two way street! If not it’s more about Control ! His choice!
W man
W
Love the sinner, not the sin.
Thank GOD for people like Sharks goaltender James Reimer!
It’s ok guys that he did this. We can’t change how people feel about certain situations in life just like he can’t change the backlash he’s going to get for this. It is what it is and we should just accept it
swear gonna be whole alphabet soon, when did the ia come in
More people die in the name of so call religion. More work more hate and more separation. Religion is sin. as it separates.
What could it be? 🤔
What a snowflake getting his feelings hurt over clothes
Good for him standing up to the woke
I have just become a fan
They would never expect a devout Muslim to wear the gay shirt
A lot of people are tired of having this shit crammed down their throats
if the LGBTQ can stand up for their beliefs so can this goaltender James Reiner. And why all these month this month that..no group of people need a day or a month except birthday. All we need to celebrate is Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July and, Memorial Day
👏👏👏👏👏👏 good for him respect
I think people should just let people be who they are. My belief in Jesus means live and let live in peace. That's my belief and opinion.
So what, Nobody should be forced to do anything, get a life ESPN
Maybe it was because the jersey was made from two different materials….
Wait let me get this right.. in his statement gay people should be embraced and loved but the Bible and him don’t support them? What a contradiction-literally.. ignorance at its best
Good for him. You can be tolerant without participating. You can be polite to people as humans without getting involved with them. That’s not good enough for the AlphabetMob They demand you cheerlead for them or you’re a bigot. Screw you. No thanks. LGBTQ LGBT
I swear Christian’s didn’t care about gay people until like 50 years ago
Let me check your phone history.
that is his right to do so but that doesn't mean he doesn't have to hear about it or he is immune to the team fining him or suspending him. That is not a team mate...that is a selfish person.
Good for him
Theres no hate like a Christians love.
Good for you Reimer!.. ESPN and their normal woke shaming. trash
I bet his jersey is about to be the best selling jersey for the rest of the season
Then cut him. His bigotry seems to be more important to him than supporting his team.
Glad someone respects the Word of God.
This crap is why your ratings suck ESPN. I don’t care about social justice crap while I’m trying to disconnect from the worlds bs and relax. I get bombbared with this crap non stop everywhere I look. I can’t even play video games with my kids or watch a movie without seeing it.
I'm an atheist and I wouldn't wear one either. It conflicts with my common sense against bad ideologies and cults.
How is the Sharks season going? Who won the game? SportsAnyone
Looks like Reimer jerseys will be selling out just like Provorov! Good for you James, I guarantee more players and fans feel the same way. they just don't want to be slammed by the woke.
It's funny how you say it's against your beliefs while going against your beliefs in Matthew 7:1-3 America... I tell you..
Whens the Christian pride night? What about the left handed pride night? Or morning person pride night? Or how bout even omlette fan pride night?
Well Jesus said to give everything you have to the poor... so much for Christian beliefs
WWJD? Hate ? Nicetry Reimer . Homosexuality is not in the Bible. The term Homosexuality was even coined until the late 19th century . Swing and a miss..
Religion is such bull crap
And now there are zero sold jerseys of San Jose Sharks' James Reimer after statement.
Jesus spent ALL his time on earth with sinners.
As I do not agree with sitting out for this reason, isn't it his right to do so?
Legend!
Good for him to not be afraid to speak up on his beliefs even knowing he was gonna get a lot of shit for it. I don’t understand what the US has turned into. It’s sad. Turning this country into the weakest country with all this shit.
Probably shouldn’t play in California LAKings SanJoseSharks AnaheimDucks NYRangers NYIslanders BuffaloSabres
Good stick to your beliefs do not let people who make things up turn you they are the devils spawns and only wanna hurt this country more I’m not all religion but I guarantee a revelation is the verge and they will die first
If not playing was disciplinary he should sue the team.
Doesn’t matter. Everyone needs to keep sex out of sports. It’s a game. Keep it in the bedroom
Good those alphabet people think the world revolves around them. Sure they are going to call for this dudes career
Keep sex out of sports.
No one should be forced to support something they don't believe in, regardless of the religious or non-religious beliefs. He didn't need an excuse.
To each their own, it’s his right but hopefully they did didn’t pay him. Since he didn’t show up for work.
No one in the alphabet mafia would have even known at the press. None reported on this it's not like there's many of them in the stands.
Fat W.
Good for him. Quit forcing everyone to think the same.
More players should show this kind of conviction.
All these 'Christians' in here saying Jesus said it's a-ok to judge other people. Sure, you do that. Lest you be judged by the same measure. Remember: Do NOT judge or you will be judged, hypocrite Do NOT condemn or you will be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
What happened to us not being the Judge? Doesn’t “God” do that on judgement day? This is why I think religion is a sham. Go to school instead of church.
He must follow the blonde hair, blue eyed, white male version of Jesus because that’s the only way his “stance” makes sense. He’s publicly homophobic and that’s all there is to it and uses “religion” as a reason.
I mean, if he doesn’t wanna wear the jersey, he shouldn’t have to wear the jersey don’t really see a problem with it
Good and boycott all those drag groomers as well. Tired of these mentally I’ll sickos too who wanna dance infront of kids so bad. In other countries they’d be stoned. Only in America this is ok
He is not a man of faith based on his actions. Pride is not about religion and doesn't go against the Bible. I know for a fact james has worked Sunday (hypocrit). A Christian would love thy neighbor by wearing pride jersey. He is a bigot and needs to acknowledge it.
His beard’s nice and trim, and that sweater’s blended fabric. I guess his Christian beliefs only apply if it’s something he already feels comfortable with.
How about a Christian pride jersey?
Good for him.
Im not sure you know what a boycot is.
My favorite goalie now, his right as a American
They may conflict with his PERSONAL beliefs. But they do not conflict with the beliefs and teachings of the Christ
Based
And?
Liberals: Here come jersey mandates…he’s “selfish”, do it for your neighbour
People don’t dare include that lgbtqia includes people advocating to normalize pedophilia, teaches children to not be happy with the way they were born, and encourages people to change the way they were made by God.. it’s beyond homosexuality, they’re against God so why wear it
Good for him. Don’t bow down to the alphabet mob
My man! Great job stand on your square. Everyone doesn't have to go along & support anything they don't stand by.
must be a new subset of christianity based on hatred
Nobody cares. Keep politics and weirdo gender ideology out of sports. How about keep any type of sex out of sport and away from kids you sick fcks!!! This lbtq whatever it is getting way out of hand. Enough with the grooming of children ffs!!
Good. This is America, land of the free. He has a right to support or not support certain causes he does or doesn't believe in. I'm personally pro LGBT but I'm pro personal choice as well. Yall forgetting, We do not live in communist China and we have freedom. Wake up!
May God continue to bless him!
James doesn’t support the sickness of the weak American culture! Good for him!
Dude your James Reimer not Vasilevskiy
Good for him.
His choice. Move on.
That's fine. If he chose not to play, then don't pay him for the game. Simple.
Who would want to support the gays anyway
Not showing support is hate now? How about “living their life” as a thing being smashed in our faces these days, or “his truth”?
At least we have some ppl like him
That is an incredible headline. All the others read that he simply skipped warm up because he didn't want to wear the jersey. It conflicted with his religious beliefs. ESPN gaslights worse than CNN.
Good.
“Christian” wanna be social justice warriors standing on morals but don’t speak up against discrimination, racism in any form but got a problem with LGBTQ jerseys🤔👌🏾👍🏾
Good for him
I hope he didn't get paid.
Stand on what you believe in 🤷🏾♂️
Jackass🤮
Nerd
I presume, then, as a good Christian, he will refuse to play every Sunday, the Easter festive season & Christmas Day? If I was his coach, that's what I'd do. Wouldn't want to upset his religious devotion. 😉 Oh btw, deduct any games missed due to this, from his contract pay.
Fuck pride jerseys!
Thank goodness it’s a free country.
Can’t wait for the first transgender hockey player lol 😂
That’s what I’m talking about. Stand up for what you believe in my guy. The loss just proves they need you
It’s sad when Christianity has been abused by hypocrites who now judge rather than act as true Christians “I like your Christ I do not like your Christians Your Christians are so unlike your Christ” Mahatma Ghanaian
Thank you James Reimer for standing up for your faith in Jesus Christ!! I pray the good Lord keeps blessing you over and over and over again. We serve a living God and he's never, ever surrendered, neither should we.
He has right to his beliefs. Good for him
Another good example of the religious excesses of WOKE and their WokeCulture with their WokeMindVirus that they want to force everyone to participate... otherwise you are homophobic transphobic, racist, etc... Live & let Live, that's real TOLERANCE & SUPPORT!
Hero he’s a true hero
Reimer is an epic crybaby
Good for him. He has a voice and also a choice in life and if this goes against his beliefs I credit him for standing up and standing firm. I have no issue with the gay community but I don’t need a daily remind of it or it blasting my tv every commercial either. Leave the man be
Religion and sexuality is fake anyways
Why do so many people still pick and choose which parts of these ancient books as rules to live their lives by.
Thank you Reimer
Why are people bashing him, its his beliefs. I thought there is no wrong answer. Let him be if he beliefs this. I support him 💯
Just so I understand.. a CHRISTIAN player for the Sharks isn’t allowed to practice his faith so that the people of the LGBTQ community can celebrate theirs? Ok got it. That won’t be happening with me!
Forcing him to wear something he doesn’t want goes against our values. If a Muslim said that how would react? You take liberties with Christians that you don’t with Muslims, I see it as a form of bullying. You know damn well Muslims will give you a run for your money
Freedom of association. Heard of it?
Getting hate and in trouble for boycotting something he doesn't believe in? From the looks of it he's not spreading hate speech.
ESPN- “Oh yeah, this one will really have them mad in the thread!” They want us all to argue, people.. just saying 🤷🏽♂️
I thought Christians believed in not judgment and loving everyone?
This is why I dislike the ultra left and media alike. You talk of equality in all things and when someone rejects your ideals they are phobic, misogynistic, etc. Just tell everyone to be sheep at least so o can truly know how you want me to be
Insert straw man argument
STAND FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE; NO COMPROMISE!
It’s a free country
The fascists are angry he didn’t wear their jersey
Would be better if politics were kept out of sport entirely, but given the current dynamic, i think both parties handled the situation well. Agree with him or not, we should have respect for Reimer’s opinion.
Good for him!
Brave soul I appreciate you brother
Let's start a GoFundMe for LGBTQ support organisations and all donate $1 to it for every goal Reimer gives up for the rest of his wholly unremarkable NHL career.
Religion is toxic. Period.
he is so brave
God bless this man.
💥💥Good for him nobody should be forced to participate in this nonsense. The alphabet community gets more recognition than other communities for crying out loud every time I turn around it's something about them.
Good grief. Get over themselves, not every body gonna find the agenda being pushed in this country as normal. And guess what, it’s not normal. Too bad.
.Clown.
Why is this news?
Good for him.. CHEERS...
still following religion? he knows tv exists right?
They made a choice, he made a choice. I applaud both.
Didn't conflict enough to sign the pucks though?
Do what you want. What do I care that you use the exit as an entrance. But done make me wear crap and celebrate YOUR lifestyle. It's not mine. It's freaking groom-y and indoctrination-y.
Good on him
When did gay people go from we just wanna live in peace to wear my gay pride jersey or we will cancel you!
People needs to stand up like him!👌
Good for him. He has his belief system and he stuck to it. Get over it.
Good for him.
My goodness, a man peacefully protests and some yall wanna act like he criminal, but be out here praising people like Kap. Just let people do what the fuck they want to do in this free country and move on.
Good for him. No one should be forced to wear symbols they don't want to for whatever reason, if it's not a regular part of the uniform. I guarantee if it was a 'patriot night' and everyone was supposed to wear MAGA logos, there would be all kinds of outcry against it.
👏👏👏
Good for him!! Name above all names... And letters
What a dope.
NFIH
Not evrybody wit that gay shit and it’s ok . It don’t make em a bad person
Priests
History is filled with atrocities that were done behind the shield of Christianity. Christians sat by as slavery/segregation took place globally. Yet love that isn’t strictly man/woman is where they decide to put a foot down. These are not the teachings of Christ. This is hate!
If he doesn't want to show support, that's his right. Same as Kaep taking a knee. It's his right. No need to make a big drama over it. Nothing hateful about simply standing by your convictions. Using religion as an excuse is cap tho. God is not smiling down on him today.
bfd ... don't give a shit either way
Definitely doesn’t conflict with my Christian beliefs.
What a petty kook.
Now a sharks fan
Good for him. What the NHL is doing to players is compelled speech and would never hold up in court.
Wait, when did those other letters and symbol get added. What do they mean?
He has rights too
Good on him.
When need more HEROES like him!
The same ppl that do this are the same ppl that would kill Jesus if he came back.
Good for him. Why should he be forced to do something he doesn't support. I don't agree with him but I agree he has the right to not participate and he shouldn't be punished or attacked for it. Society today has lost its identity and we need to get back to freedom of choice
Good for you James.
Good for him…we all should be able to stand up for what we believe in
FirstTake stephenasmith Stephen A.. let’s see if your handlers allow you to talk about him for a week and drag him like you did Kyrie and Kaepernick.,
Equal beliefs right? Good on him
I don't like how people tell me how to run my life, so I don't tell people how to run their life. Whatever floats your boat. My life is my life. Your life is your life.
Ha! Have fun trying to keep that same energy in cali
WHY CANT HE HAVE HIS OWN OPINION. WHY? These people are forcing their twisted perverted minds to try to make us agree that there's no such thing as a man and a woman. Yes there is. They need psychiatrists not plastic surgery
It's great to see a player not cave to the alphabet terrorists.
Good for him. If you’re gay, be gay and go live your life. He’s forced to wear some lbgtq jersey? Nope!
Yes… the conflict with his pseudo KKKhristian beliefs
respect
I stand with James Reimer
Always forcing this LGBTQIA+ agenda down people's throats, like that is the only thing noteworthy about you. When someone exercises their personal choice not to follow the crowd, the gaslighting mob comes out. Rubbish!
👏👏 good for him
Fake morals for fake morals. Wonder if her eats shrimp, or has tattoos? Wonder if he’s ever paid or charged interest? All “sins” in the big book of magic.
Good for him
Good for him.
whoCares
No human can have 2 dads
Good for him!! Stand up for your beliefs!! They do the same thing about their “beliefs” so how is it wrong if he does or if anyone does!!
Good for him. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Why is NHL “supporting” the LGBTQIA+ community?
Jesus would be ashamed
Some people in this Comment Section is acting like ever Christian is hateful and judgmental. That’s not true at all I’m a Christian and I do not judge or hate anyone based off of there Gender or anything. He is not either he just doesn’t feel comfortable wearing the Jersey. 1/2
To bring peoe to your kingdom you must embrace us all. In your god we fall. In the peoe we stand
Stop trying to shove liberal propaganda down our throats. I don't care what your sexual preference is. I won't make you celebrate my sexual preference if you don't make me celebrate yours.
TeamREIMER and just olay the game!
Another based hockey player. Players in the other three major sports are too scared, having more national attention on them on a daily basis.
Respect here! Standing up for the truth even when it’s difficult.
Will the Sharks players wear He is Risen on Easter ? Hope so
Welcome to America, land of the free. This is not a law. He made a choice he's allowed to make. Stop trying to make people live their life the way YOU want to.
Reimer is awesome
W
Those who are the most anti are usually the closeted ones... been there... done that. Just sayin...
Just purchased a Reimer jersey! Stand tall Christian soldier! You have the support of millions of God fearing Christians.
Good for him, stand on your faith and do not give in. If I liked hockey, I would buy his jersey.
Good for him, the left is disgusting
ESPN is trash for even posting this article. guy doesn't wear shirt, let's make it national news. this is Seinfeld and Kramer with the AIDS ribbon all over again. his statement literally said he thinks everyone has a place in hockey. you're horrible ESPN.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Let’s flip the scenario for the non thinkers in the comments. How about making some nice Christian themed warmup shirts for the next game? Or maybe a show of support for the second amendment? Would everyone wear those shirts? No. Would it matter? Not at all.
Good for him. No one should have to conform to that bullshit
LGTB = promiscuous and venereal community. Also very ignorant.
Way to stand for your beliefs. We support you.
Being forced to publicly wear the flag of another’s sexuality is ludicrous. The pushing of the TRAs agenda is beyond ideological. It’s become religious - treating non believers as heretics & burning witches. Shoving Queer Theory down throats is going to backfire. Stop!
No love quite like Christian hate
The only Sharks headline all season lol.
That’s his choice.
👏👏👏 I'm Atheist ⚛️ but well done sir. Don't let them 🏳️🌈💩 to silence you
Lol what a dork!!!😂😂
Pity the other Christian players in the team didn't have the same testicular fortitude as big James. I hope he righteously judges a few of his team mates.
So much for love thy neighbor…
There's no hate quite like Christian love. Someone needs to let Jeremy know that being LGBTQ+ isn't a sin. However, being a jerk4jesus definitely is.
People hating on other people all over a fictional book man… smh
What’s more scary the rainbow or his GAA
TIL that 'christian' is tantamount to 'bigoted scum'
Who cares. If the league wants inclusion, they can’t leave anyone out. Good job James.
Amen! The ONLY Godly decision that could be made. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, brother! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
👏👏👏
Good for him
If it was Christian Pride night at the game, and the players were forced to wear sweaters with Jesus on the front and a cross on the back, you clowns would be losing your collective shit. Quit trying to shove your feelings down other’s throats. It’s a 2 way street, folks.
First Amendment. Doesn't matter if someone else doesn't like it.
Cry
Nice article ESPN this is definitely a big deal LOL love this dude, wait and see how many jerseys they sell
Bye
No Politics in Sports please
Stay strong with your personal beliefs. Be encouraged.
Great to see someone stand against the support! Glad to see it finally happening!
God forbid you go against woke pride bullshit that’s shoved down their throats by corporate sponsors.
Heaven forbid someone has Christian values and beliefs
Everything he said until the last 15 seconds made sense. Then he completely backtracked
Forced to wear the flair or you’ll sit out ..
all because one day a teammate looked at him like this.
Why is it suddenly terrible to stand up for one's beliefs. If he had been doing something that put down someone, that would be one thing, but simply not praising a lifestyle is suddenly an act of hate? Could we be getting any more stupid as a society?
Some are not comfortable don’t need to force them to be with Jersey or events. That show be done in private with certain people in the organization
Remember when Reimer blew a 4-1 lead in 11 minutes in Game 7 in 2013? Good times. Also the only notable part of his career🤣
His choice. He doesn’t have to if he’s not comfortable everyone ain’t open to certain thing may respect it but don’t mean they have to incorporate in they living. Black history month shorter that lgbt community who they honor yearly with a month Longer than black history.
I hope he also doesn’t wear clothing of mixed fabrics because of his christy beliefs.
So what…A straight white guy isn’t allowed to believe in anything?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good for him. Time for all of us to stop being bullied.
Epic
Need more heroes like this.
Just because he says he's a Christian doesn't mean you are required to oblige him. Stop letting these cowards hide behind a book to justify their intolerance.
He is a ❄️.
Amen ! 🙏
Wait…these people are really taking up the entire alphabet, 😂
You tolerant scare me
Dudes like I just came to play hockey, that’s all. Nothing wrong with it
He can choose to do whatever he wants. Don’t hate in his opinion for not wanting to be part of your opinion. How hypocritical 😂
Jesus don’t give a fuck what hockey jersey you wear bro.
another “selective christian”…
His choice...u know FREEDOM
Religions don’t teach hatred- just bad churches do this.
Good for him.
He's free to believe what he chooses; this is the historic, biblical position of the Christian church throughout history.
Reimer when he saw the schedule:
And yet he lets Jesus come inside him every night
That’s OK
Good on him
Atta boy, James... do what you want. I support Colin Kap’s decision and James Reimers. Im an authentic human being.
Good. I hope more people follow this example.
Good for him
Good for him
let him believe what he wants lmfao why is this a problem. He isn't blatantly hating gay people so why is this an issue.
W
Good for him. He has rights also that should not be unhinged upon.
go James Reimer go, NHL is not a place for rainbow flags!!
i’m just saying… if he was Muslim, there would be no “controversy” over this. He isn’t hurting anybody so leave him be.
Butthurt over colors
Screw him. 🌈🌈🌈
Time for a new goalie, this is the San Francisco Bay Area and we expect better (on so many levels!)
I think it was Jesus that said to love thy neighbor
What happen to freedom? This guy is exercising is right of freedom of speech. Just like yall exercising your right to express your opinion.
I don’t see a problem with that! His belief are what they are !
awww, give this man the safe space he needs
It's not June. Why is there a pride night?
Have you even seen a LQBT whatever the initial it’s, supporting Gods word not uh? So why are you trying to force a real Christians to do it.
Nothing wrong with that. 🙌🏼
Awesome for him.
And that’s his right, why we forcing things on people?
Hey it’s just woke family values.
He needs to protect legally himself against discrimination and retaliation (how ironic) soo he has to say it violates his faith. However, he shouldnt need to explain his lack of support. Its b.s.
Media is trying to ruin this guy for doing nothing wrong. Read his statement before you judge him for not supporting. It was full of class.
I love how this perfectly shows how hateful Christians are.
Love it
Good! Theres no place for the immoral actions of homosexuals. Its always the homosexuals that say 'But Jesus would never! You're a fake Christian!' well... “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh”
I'm with Reimer. It doesn't mean we hate LGBTQIA+, but as Christians we can't celebrate or bring honor to behavior God calls an abomination.
good, woke gotta stop
Ok
You are a bunch of fascists. Glad he didn’t now to the mob.
I find it funny they don’t tell fans that’s it’s pride celebration night until they sit down afyer paying 180.00 per ticket Surprise!!!!!
Has America lost their freedom of choosing not to do something if they don’t want to do it as long as it’s not breaking any law?
There is no reason to wear “pride” jerseys, BLM jerseys, anything like that. This is freaking sports, not politics
It’s his right politics has no place in sports leave that to the streets
He needs to just take a seat then. People are people and apparently he feels like he is above that.
Stand up for your beliefs. Good job.
So all the Atheist should not play with him because of his different beliefs?
I wouldn’t wear it either, it doesn’t make me homophobic, I don’t care if your gay trans or whatever the fuck the other letters mean, but don’t make me wear it and shove it down my throat, if that’s how ppl wanna live then great I don’t care, just don’t force me into it …
Next they’ll be wearing shirts supporting drag Queen story hour for 5 yr olds. The people screaming tolerance are the most least tolerant people in the world.
Loser
1053SS Thank you James! Joshua 1:9
Surprised he didn’t boycott BHM lol
Who cares? Move on. Let him have an opinion
good for him
Absolutely nothing wrong with it this. Good for him. Cry about ❄️
Tolerance has become 'you will do this.' It seems to me that's not tolerance at all.
Oh boy
Good for him
Good for him! The left has become the nazis, forcing people to comply or face consequences.
Good on him!
Good for him 👍🏼
How can such a terrible f’ing goalkeeper be an even worse human being?
Love how y’all are mad that a man took a stand for a man who you say is t real!!! Hmm thank you for arguing his existence for us!
Anybody should have the freedom to choose. This world has lost its fucking mind
He shouldnt be forced and blackmailed into wearing something he doesnt support. Irrespective of his reason.
Ohhh he just hides behind religion to discriminate huh?
BETTER BEND THE KNEE TO THE ALPHABET PEOPLE, BIGOT!
Good
That’s his right . Forcing people to participate in something he don’t believe in
Sounds like he's a big fan of cancel culture if he's boycotting
What a loser.
Are the people complaining the same ones who were upset Saudi Arabia didn’t allow rainbow colors into the World Cup?
Should be able tk have choices it’s just getting forced on ppl. 🤦🏾♂️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️
Brave fella. I stand with him. We were warned that we would be persecuted for righteousness sake.
He can do whatever he wants.
God for him. Religious beliefs are fundamental to society and this country
Matthew 7:3-5
Good for him!
This is awful. Screw this guy.
Also dragging Kadri into the conversation was a scummy move
Christians are the real scum of the Earth
Good for him! Hard to do in a world that forces idealism down our throats and calls us bullies for standing up and saying we don’t want them grooming our kids.
Just say what it is, outright bigotry. By the way, guess he’s ok with slavery. That’s cool in the Bible.
lol in 2023, 🤡
I’m a Christian and I support LGBTQ rights. Christianity is a big umbrella. Don’t lump all of us in your ignorance and hate.
Why do we need pride night? Why do we need this stuff shoved down or throats? Who cares?
Lol, just another bigot using 'faith' as a shield.
Cue the Bible thumping in 3... 2... 1...
Man if someone’s beliefs are different WOW!!! Y’all down with a 🇮🇱 Jersey night? If Muslims don’t wear it they are racists?
Reimer is a hero
Please respect my deeply held belief that James Reimer is a moronic bigot. Thank you
Good for him. Leave the poor guy alone.
Keep sexuality and politics out of sports. W reaction.
Good for him.
I respect and agree with his stand. ✝️✝️✝️
Love people who stand up to the woke nuts
Here comes the left
This is ok, people.
There y'all go over-sensationalizing stuff again.
Puck monkeys are fussy and entitled these days. Low calibre entertainer.
Nazis are always gonna nazi...Do as we say or you dont play...
This has absolutely NOTHING to do with hockey!!!!
Good for him
based
Violates his Christian beliefs? Seriously? That a crock of shit, gay isn’t in the Bible
Refuse to kneel to the alphabet mafia, James.
Good job goalie. WE DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT ANY OF IT!! lgbtqnonsense
People should be able to go to work, and do their jobs without having any type of agenda, shoved down their throat. And I don’t care what that agenda is.
Yet he's okay with playing on Sundays? That's punishable by death. He's okay making millions? Being rich means can't get into heaven. He supports slavery and women as property? Those are both in the gospels, not just a crazy old testament verse like being anti gay.
Good for you Reimer
It’s interesting to explore I’ve seen Christians who see it as sin, but accept the LGBTQIA+ community and fight for rights, in an effort to love all and meet them where they’re at I’ve also seen Christians who see it as sin but do the opposite because they can’t promote sin
He’s playing for the wrong team lol
I commend this guy for standing up for his beliefs.
ReplyGPT
Politics have no place in sports. Play the game. Ditch the woke BS.
Crazy that people believe a work of fiction and dictate their lives towards that work. Christianity is the biggest prank pulled on the human race
waaaaaaa, wearing a jersey hurts my manly feelings. Guys a born loser anyway. Bruins Nation will own him forever.
It’s giving LDE
Another Hero
Who cares……it’s his choice
Good. Well done
Let people live…Jesus would forgive him in heaven 🙏🏾
Good✊🏾
Sports and politics don't mix well. Nobody should be forced or coerced into participating with what they don't believe in. He is payed to play, not get political.
Good for him. You shouldn't be forced to accept anything you don't want to. He gets paid to play goalie.
I'm sure his shitty play this year is against his teammates beliefs.
Whatevs 🤷♂️ He's not being bigoted or discriminating against anyone, he just doesn't want to wear the shirt. I wouldn't wear it either. Would they make a gay player wear a 'straight pride' shirt? Pride nights are stupid anyways. What does sexual preferences have to do with hockey?
At some point they will try to throw him in prison, watch
Maybe he shouldn't have signed with a Bay Area, much less California, team, right?
He’s in tilted to his opinion
Good for you, brother!
Phew! That was a close one for James! That rainbow Jersey nearly earned him a trip straight to H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks! 🙄
W fuck that gay shit
Go play hockey on the church team. See what that pays
I don’t know who James Reimer is, but he looks like my next door neighbor.
He don’t believe in that shit and that’s that ! Y’all want others to respect y’all beliefs we’ll learn to respect other people’s beliefs the same way, it should be no conflict here lol 🤷🏾♂️
Finally some common sense
He has rights, just as much they do, he can do whatever he wants when it comes to his freedoms
Good for him.
Oh no someone doing what they want how crazy...how is this freakin news..quit putting bullshit politics in sports..just play the dam games
Christian here. Jesus said love PEOPLE not people on the approved list. In fact, read the Bible, James. Jesus loved the most marginalized. You’re a clown and don’t call yourself a Christian, bigot
🚮
Good for Reimer. Stop forcing people to conform.
Y'know, you can be a Christian and still support LGBTQ+ people.
Anyone upset about a grown man that they don't know not wearing a rainbow jersey needs to evaluate their life.
Respect a man's beliefs
Awesome!!!
Good for him for making HIS choice. Politics doesn't belong in sport on any subject. Don Cherry found that out didn't he? Gary Linekar did also at the BBC last week!
It’s his right period.
To all the 'good for him for following his beliefs' folks, I'm willing to bet my house that you felt the total opposite when it came to Kaepernick. 🤨 Why? Let the mental gymnastics begin.
Bet he jersey sales went up. For that I’m mad because the sharks don’t deserve that revenue
The fact this is the only time you guys talk about hockey is concerning.
I mean what does LGBTQ+++ haft to do with hockey just let the people play sports and keep your politics out of it
Good! More people need to be like this this! It’s stupid and ridiculous
Good for him 👏
Enlighten yourselves. Read the 1st chapter of the book of Romans.
Live and let live
WWJD? Certainly not judge others. You don’t support LBGTQIA, fine, don’t wear a jersey that shows support, but do your job.
Good for him
Good for him. Stand up against this garbage.
These people spend their entire life thinking god wanted the to hate gay people only to be surrounded by fire and brimstone when they die. Damn
I’m getting a James Reimer jersey now
James using his supposed religion instead of just saying he disagrees.
His beliefs are protected just like yours and mine. Stop making this into something it isn't. Play hockey and quit putting politics into sports.
Always the closet cases that hide behind religion.
Why is this news?
what if he gets traded to New Jersey? would he not be able to play?
Good
Not everybody cares about PBTRSFQ+ or whatever it is, stop trying to cram it down everyones throat
Based
Loser! Go VGK!
So it’s ok for a Muslim to have their beliefs but because he’s Christian it’s ok to criticize him. I’m not a Christian myself but come on. The man is allowed to live his life according to his Christian values.
That doesn't really seem possible in this era. I mean after all the connections we've made in our minds and amongst ourselves, nobody would really choose to do that themselves.
Good for him
Good.
You shouldnt be punished for not participating in garbage you dont believe in!!
Most people I know who refuse to show up for work because of how their co-workers dress would be fired. No bargaining. No sharing of feelings. No political back and forth. Just fired.
Very wrong that he wasn’t allowed to play because of his belief. Guaranteed if this was a liberal doing something against a conservative there would be no issue. Double standards that we live in today.
I’m gay and not remotely bothered. Different people have different beliefs & consciences; cost’s me nothing. Forcing people to perform symbolic rituals that degrade their inner sense of right and wrong, even if I disagree with them, does nothing to win friends for the 🏳️🌈 crowd.
Awesome good for him
Let’s boycott military night. Why is that BS in hockey.
“Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall not do any work..” Was going to call Jimmy out on this but seeing that save %, I can see he’s NOT really working all that much so carry on I guess?
If you feel certain people are immoral, what happened to praying for them and leaving it up to God? Sounds like an excuse to be a judgemental prick...
1053SS Good for him
LMAO wow ESPN… DankBets92
Good. It’s an abomination and wicked. He did the right thing.
Good for him.
About time 🙌
Good for him, do not be conformed by this world
At least there’s still some common sense left on this country .
Homophobic snowflake
Yep. As it should be.
Where do any of you get off telling anyone else what they should wear ? This is bullying and you know it.
not the only thing he will be infamously remembered for…
Fire the bigot. There is no room for such hatred in sports.
It just mind blowing how people make there 'beliefs' the most important aspect of there life. It sad actually.
Good for him stop.trying to make being gay as normal.
Its an L for putting the big imaginary guy before fellow humans but i believe its his right to choose that and none of us should judge
Espn the woke network
When will he come out?
Good for him!
Get out of here man. Please cut him. He can go work a 9-5
Good, we don't need this 💩 shoved down our throats!
Good for him
So he can express his beliefs, but his teammates can't?
Despite his views, can we all agree he isn’t good enough to miss any sort of warm up or practices?
It is his choice.
Damn this comments section is full of people that like imposing their will onto others…
Good for him!
That’s not the reason he gave. He said it was about his own beliefs. Not his teammates.
They should all boycott, it is completely ridiculous to force a celebration of any single group.
Enough’s enough
Wonder how many more of his jerseys have been sold on the last 24 hours?
Give me a f ...break let's turn on the lights ✨️ on your glass house 🏠 perfect are you sure 😉
100% support on his decision. We must be led by the spirit of God not personal feelings
Maybe he should play for his church ⛪️ 🤔 instead!
Oh wait, he has a set of balls and admits he’s a man? About time these guys show up! Good for him and us!!!
Do they HAVE to wear it?…I mean he has his beliefs then it what it is…they can’t make it optional? I feel they should have options at least…
Even if he's not Christian it's not anybodys job to celebrate how somebody else likes to have sex. You people are weirdos forcing people to wear your colors. Leave people alone.
1053SS Do the Sharks sell alcohol? I’m very curious to find out every parter the Sharks are partnered with and how many this Christian man of faith has boycotted
So. It’s called freedom.
Doesn't belong in sports! Glad he stands by his beliefs. Anyone who doesn't like can just shut up. Stop pushing this agenda where it doesn't belong. Who are you to tell someone what he should believe in?
Progressives always having a fit it you don’t go along with the agenda.
Good for him
I guess you got to ask what would you do? Would you be inclusive and support all identities whether it be straight, lesbian, gay, or trans. How would you feel if someone protested against what you believed in? That doesn't work ask yourself what would Jesus do...
Hey NHL , why don't you let your hockey players play hockey and quit trying to shove this woke BS down all of our throats
What a freaking snowflake.
This is stupid. Why do we have things like pride nights? Do gay people not feel welcome unless everything is coated in a rainbow?
I respected peoples right to kneel for the anthem in the name of racial injustice. I respect his right to not wear the LGBTQ+ jersey. More people should be like this, stop forcing your beliefs on everyone else.
Good for him. More people should’ve boycotted with him tbh
He's a BIGOT, not a Christian.
Left wing media hates Christians more than Christians “hate” gay people … by a long shot
hiding homophobia behind jesus is insane
And he gets more coverage for that than the game itself. Do you see the problem?
Shame he then can’t play on Sunday…assuming that he takes all of the Bible equally seriously.
Now there's an IA on the end of this BS. When does all this end?
People are hilarious. On the other hand, the pride community has said that if you don't like it, don't come. This man does that, and they still talk shit People just love talking trash, no one will ever be satisfied. He doesn't support it ok leave him be.
Cherry picking on skates must be difficult lol
W goalie
I guess his religion is Bigotry
All the atheists who have never studied Christianity are about to give their take on what Christianity actually means Incoming in 3.2.1
Funny how people want to attack him it’s like think like us or beware lol. Stop already nobody has to be forced to think like others
Yet I’m sure you have seen plenty of unchristian things from your teammates over the years and have said nothing. Open your mind not your mouth.
What a snowflake
One can be true to their religion, and live their life accordingly, while also recognizing that others should be free to live their lives as well. You can be Christian and support equality for all. If you can’t, you’re really not Christian.
FuckThisGuy
Acceptance and promotion are two different things. This crap of trying to shame someone for not following and bowing to your beliefs needs to stop.
Good for him. Sexual preferences have nothing to do with ice hockey
These comments are crazy ignorant. We literally have people saying that you hate somebody if you don’t accept everything about them. Christians believing that marriage is between a man and a woman doesn’t mean you hate gay people. Crazy that still has to be said for dense people.
Apparently it’s no longer about tolerance. That’s not enough for these people at ESPN. You’re supposed to celebrate them… good for James, we need more athletes like this.
👏
What a snowflake. Time for free agency.
That's his right
You can’t expect everyone to respect a different belief. You can knock it all you want, but it’s his belief so stop trying to break someone else down who don’t side with your lifestyle. You just continue on living yours. You can’t force nothing on nobody. Live your life!
We the same bro
Add him to a growing list of favorite players
James Reimer just gained another fan🙌🏾
Good, but people should stop supporting sin across the board. I would hope the same people who agree with this player would also not get drunk at the same event.
In his statement he said he lives all and respects the community. The point of a pride night jersey is not to say you agree believe that homosexuality is not a sin, it’s just saying that you respect that community.
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, it works for all
I'm glad he's standing up for what he believes in 👏👏
A fine christstain
I wonder if he dresses in mixed fabrics or eats shellfish.
When is “abortion is murder” night? Can’t wait to see the journalism on that
We aren’t here to judge, we aren’t here to bash and disrespect people. Reiner did none of that. Stood up for what he believed in and did it in the right way.
Good boycotted don't wear rainbow colors
I’m Ok with this. I’m not ok with people not being ok with this.
I’m with this goalie. I’m not about this New world era. I don’t agree with all that LGBTQIA business.
James Reimer is now a top 10 goalie in my books
James seeing he’s getting hate for not wearing a gay jersey
Accepting and promoting are two very different things
Cool don’t play then
That’s going to work out well for him in front of crowds. Hope he gets booed into oblivion.
He is not a true Christian. A true Christians loves and accepts everyone from lepers to jerks like him.
He is my new favorite hockey player
He is a child
Sooo he isn’t able to stand for what he believes in but yet gets criticized for it the hypocrisy
The idea that people think others have to disregard their morality/self respect in order to pander is disgusting. There was no crime, no hate speech, or violence committed by James at all. Why all the hate?
Respect
Good for him. Need more like him.
Good for him. He doesn’t have to bow to the woke left.
W
Nothing in the bible about homosexuality.
Yep, he should ask Jesus what he thinks about his attitude 🤷♀️
Good for him.
Good
Still one of the funniest moments in hockey history.
Stooges of the orthodoxy, weaponizing equity doctrines to defend brainwashing & transitiong children. They turn on their parents, rat out wrong-think & cause shit everywhere. Live and let live but don't force anything on anyone
I’d bet money that James isn’t the only Christian on the Sharks team. Not everyone’s a jerk.
Doesn’t matter what his reasons are. This is his job - not his cause. Stop making people act as though they support a cause even when they don’t. He’s not a bigot. He’s at work. Get over it and be a professional - like this guy.
Fire him.
Dudes afraid of rainbows.
Respect. Don’t let them control you
👍👍
What a loser lmao
Good for him! Stay strong and don’t let others influence your beliefs
No one cares
No one should be forced to wear someone else’s flag. Man a lot of y’all need to grow up and stop trying to force your beliefs on others. Same on for putting him on blast also.
Regardless, people have their right to chose what they want to wear, participate in, believe in etc. not everyone wants to celebrate peoples sexual orientation. It's constantly promoted everywhere & gets a pride month. Our vets get a day.
This is the type to get caught in the bathroom with a man
What a loser
Good for him
How about let the man do what he wants!! You can’t force this shit down someone’s throat!! So good for you bro!!
You don't have to wear anything. No reason needed. By the way, when is Christian night? Will all of the players be required to wear jerseys with crosses?
It is called freedom of choice. Full stop.
His choice is ok.. move on . No one cares about your choice… you wear it if it’s what you truly want .
If he was black racist ESPN would dog walk him like they try to do Kyrie. Hell he would be released from the team.
The SanJoseSharks paid homage to the lgbtqnation during the NYIslanders game and to do so doesn’t imply a player’s endorsement, yet it does the organization. JamesReimer was wrong! To wear a jersey during warmups is no sin, plus this community supports the NHL 👎🏾
Good for him we gave the gay community an inch and they took two miles, now they are grooming children I library drag shows
Not very Christian of you😂😂😂
W
Not a boycott. Speaking of, maybe we should boycott woke ESPN.
Unless he follows every belief the bible tells him to, he isn't a Christian. He's a bigot
It aint hate if you don't believe in it. It's his belief he didn't say he hated anyone.
Good for him
I didn't know yesterday was pride day 🤷
Good for him.
I don’t know any religion that condemns inclusion. Nor any good people at heart that quietly dictate how others should live.
In other news, he also said he will only play with whites..due to his 'christian' values. Loser
It is his right to choose.
I’m just here to see how ignorant people are of Christianity
I Dont Blame Reimer Or Other Players On Standin Up For What They Believe In I Stand With Them
Go Reiner! Don’t like hockey, but I support your views.
Is there a Black History jersey night? Irish-American jersey night? Hispanic History jersey night? Alcoholics Anonymous jersey night? If not, then there doesn't need to be a Gay Rights jersey night.
Good for him. Send me a pride shirt and I’ll wipe my rear on it.
Boycotted?
A slim reputation lost in a few sentences and true self revealed.
No issue with that as a member of the LGBTQ community. The Christians have a right to not support what we believe as long as there’s no slander or persecution from either side.
I SUPPORT HIS DECISION
Instead of worrying about Thai clock bait, concentrate on getting better broadcasting teams. The production, play by play (except for Levy), and color commentary, all suck a big donkey d*ck. It’s awful.
Just remember to write a statement anyone not wearing a camo jersey on vet night isnt allowed in any arena .. wonder how people would like that .. sounds ridiculous doesn't it . Same damn thing
I support this!
Who gives a shit
Why should he wear that? Is he going to wear jersey supporting other things as well? Enough with this shit, it's been thrown down our throats for way too long now.
🤷♂️
His choice
Good for him! He has that right
How do I “love” this twice…?
We don’t care btw
Good for him. Crazy how they can shove their beliefs down our throats and we just have to take it but as soon as someone stands up to it the media loses their mind. We need more people like this to bring America BACK!!
Yet he plays hockey on the sabbath
I thought it was “Christian” to love all!
It’s weird when people say u should be yourself then when someone does something people find weird they go after them which shows they don’t really care about individuality
Dude should probably read the Ten Commandments written by his, uh, bro.
I love this! ✝️✡️❤️ Yes, I am Christian. According to my DNA results, I’m also 27% Jewish (Sephardic).
He did nothing wrong. The same people preaching tolerance are intolerant towards religious people. It’s wrong to force someone to go against their religious beliefs
Good for Him, it’s about time, why does this lgbtqrxyufuk+ have to be promoted all the time, wgaf April 1st can be your sacred day
Good for him standing up for what he believes in
Wish i would’ve saw this shit before betting on the damn sharks last night!! Fuck!!
Why do teams/players need to support anything else other than the logo and team they are on? Players did not sign a contract to be an advocate for social agendas. Good for him. The rest of the team are sheep. THAT is a leader amongst “men”.
Good for him !
What a time to be alive.
More fake Christians
Everybody’s got choices. We can’t expect everyone to be in favor of a lifestyle that others choose to live.. This understanding becomes more clear as we mature.
Good for him! Gained a new fan, all for anyone who wants to do what they want but do not force it on me.
Now do all the Russian citizens playing in the NHL everyday. Since you're a Christian.
What a douche
Woke agenda is so bizarre. “We fight for our right to choose”. Then when someone politely and professionally chooses to not support your forced beliefs, you all attack with the mob mentality. You all need to be heavily medicated.
His choice and beliefs. Can’t fault or persecute him. Sorry media
Good for him- take a stand
Good
If he was Muslim man….. no issue
Buddy can sit out the rest of the season. Bigot.
His body. His choice.
Proud of your beliefs. God’s grace!
🫡🫡🫡🫡
Because rainbow nazis are so into hockey. 🤮🤢🤮
“God this, god that” god says enslave people you see beneath you, and throw stones at them till they’re dead if they disagree.
I disagree with this by Reimer... but EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion. My 9 year old should not be hearing how its OK to pick your gender. My 11 year old should not have to hand write her pronouns on the back of her chair.
I support lgbtqia, but don’t support forcing people who don’t feel the same.
Like everyone else. . It is his choice and his belief. . . Funny it is okay to force yours beliefs on someone. . When it suits your purpose. .works both ways people!
Imagine if he “boycotted” because it was in conflict with his Muslim beliefs… ESPN wouldn’t say a word, and the same people defending him for being Christian would be bashing him.
When is this month
Good for him!
God doesn’t love fags.
👍
Stand on your beliefs sir
He sucks anyway team has 19 wins on the year with his awesome goaltending
Why single him out
Lol, but he’s got no problem playing for a team that supports LGBTQ rights…I guess it’s more about money than beliefs?
All the more reason to stop pushing this crap into sports
Good for him stop pushing your agenda on the rest of us until thier is a heterosexual pride flag and they're forced to push it don't bend down to this woke hypocrisy
His jersey is selling at 1 right now in the nhl lol
Stop imposing the agenda on everyone. I bet given the choice half the team wouldn’t wear it. I’m
I’m a lesbian and don’t understand why teams make their players wear Pride stuff. It does feel like it’s being pushed on people, and we all have the right to not wear something that goes against a personal belief. Have a Pride night if you wish, but leave the players out of it.
James save percentage of less than .900 shows he doesn't believe in stopping pucks, a shitty back up at best
Good for him. Everyone is aloud thier beliefs. Not just gays
Based
Clearly he's a MAGA.
I don’t even like hockey but I have a new favorite hockey player now
Good for him exercising his religious freedom! Liberty was made in the USA
For such a welcoming inclusive understanding group they sure are quick to attack anyone who does not show support for them.
What a despicable human being.
Keep politics and personnel believes out of sports. You are just going to piss people off.
If people have the right to support something, they also have the right to not support something. This crap is getting really really old. We will never ever all agree or be on the same side. That's life people
What a loser
What a douche
Christians will continue to face persecution and its going to get worse until the average home is under attack in multiple forms by those who laugh at belief in God and trust in Christ. They will twist the scripture, His words, all of that. Funny thing, it's all prophecy written
Just curious…Does he boycott Sunday games due to his “Christian” beliefs?
Ok whatever. He missed a game. Let’s move on.
Reiner’s performance as Sharks goalie has been in conflict with my beliefs as a Sharks fan for as long as he’s been here.
He has the freedom to do so. Why is this a headline?
When someone fights that hard to dissociate from participating in the recognition of LGBTQ community, it’s not about his “Christian” beliefs.
What a BS headline.
Good for him.
Good for him! People need to stop shoving their ideologies on others.
What happened to sports? It used to teach all the valuable lessons in life. Teamwork, trust, emotions, achieving goals, etc! Now it’s just a platform for political agendas being pushed on players and people who love and play sports. Everyone has their own beliefs.
He's 100% gay
Trade him.
I think putting sexual preferences on sports jerseys is quite odd you think?
He doesnt need to give any explanation...nobody should be forced to support somebody' else's 'cause'
Good on him.
I would have wore it and blacked out every letter after the LGB.
The thing that James Reimer doesn't realize is that Jesus Christ was gay. It's right there in the Bible.
He isn’t discriminating against anything, he is simply not supporting it due to his beliefs. He has every right to do that and should not be torn apart for it.
Last time I checked, we were allowed to decide what we wanted to wear on any given day. “My body my choice “, right? Or does that not apply here? Snowflakes.
I consider myself a LGBTQ supporter, but no one should be forced to be a supporter. A TRUE ally, accepts all lifestyle choices. Let love keep winning.
Lol religious people are kinda weird tbh.
This being a story is just further proof that all media wants is clicks, even if it just spreads hate. All this does is cause controversy, nobody actually gives a fuck what this guy does, but they have to fake care for social media
👏
And commence all the snowflakes’ crying about it. Get over yourselves.
That’s his right. I hope they didn’t pay him
Does anyone really care? It’s his choice, he didn’t play so he didn’t get paid. It’s a free freaking world, I’m glad he stood up for what he believed in if it’s right or not.
Treating “everybody” with “respect and dignity” does not typically include boycotting in an attempt to rob someone of dignity based on your “inclusive” beliefs. Utter nonsense.
….we’re doing this again? Not everyone needs to agree with your beliefs and/or be against what upsets you.
STOP forcing people to do things they don’t wanna do or believe in
Sadly think I’m not a fan of the sharks anymore.
Don't blame him. Why do we celebrate degeneracy?
L.
👍
Good.
Good for him.
What does this have to do with hockey
Really no matter where you stand on this issue this shouldn't be a story. It was his choice not to play.
LGBTQIA I swear to god they add letters every year lmfaoooo
Proud of you, James. A true man of principle and conviction. Glad you didn’t compromise on your faith in Jesus Christ.
Good !! Nobody should be forced to partake in any political agenda if they don’t feel comfortable
It’s his right. The team also has the right do what they feel is right as well.
W goaltender
Why do you have to bend over backwards (no pun intended) to please these people He’s not physically or mentally abusing gay people….I think that mean they are excepted. Enough of this circus….
Good for you James! If they can stand up for what they believe in without flack so can you!
If your religion requires you to be a bigot, you need a new religion, or perhaps no religion.
Salute to this man. He's probably got more compassion in his heart than all of the bozos in these comments angry at him. How ironic.
GLAD HE STOOD UP TO WOKE BULLSHIT 👏 👏 👏
Good for him. Wish there were more people like him.
If god is responsible for everything, the God created the LGBTQIA+ community. Christians who use hide behind the Bible re this issue are just horrible people
People have a right to not supports certain things. I don’t understand why anybody is mad. He didn’t hurt anybody, he didn’t threaten anybody, he didn’t purposely seek out violence or wish violence on anybody by it instead just chose not to support that. It’s okay y’all.
Does stopping goals in big moments go against his beliefs also?
Wouldn't go that far to call it a boycott. He's declining to participate for his own personal reason. And that's okay people. He's not a bad person and there's no hate here. He has an opinion as we all do.
This bothers the losers on the left.
Good for him
And that’s his right, just like it was Kaps right to kneel and to wesr Fidel Castro shirts to interviews with the miami dolphins and call his adoptive parents racist
Kind of a soft little bitch for a hockey player eh?
That community is pushing their ideas down our throats. Once someone says good for you but I don’t go along with that they are ridiculed.
Full support to him,nothing wrong with what you want to celebrate but it's my right to not have to participate.
Boycott get the story 'straight ' espn. Worst sports shoe ever.
The Bible says Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!!!!
Hey Salute to him, it’s His Choice not to do so
Wonder what would’ve happen if he was boycotting Jewish or black recognition
Why does anyone have to tolerate another man's homosexual behavior.? Why Ne needs no reason to not participate.
I totally totally agree!! God bless you!!!
Ok
Good for him, stand up for what you believe. Do not let others force their beliefs down your throat
Let's have a Christian night, European heritage night, complete with jerseys and all and they can wear all the pride shit you want on that night. Deal? Thought so.
Some of yall have no idea what the difference is between judgement of character and biblical judgement. Pointing out he thinks something is wrong is not judgment/condemnation. Give me s break.
W
Good for him!
This is about pro sports. This is about hockey. This is not an activist organization. Stay in your lane. James Reimer is the man. Sports media and teams need to stop hiring woke Ivy League graduates and get back to business.
How dare he not bend the knee to the new government religion
He better not be suspended or anything either.
Different player. Same position.
dxllard 🙄
Jen am do whatever he wants
What doesn’t he boycott Santa
good for him. He can stand on his principle and not be forced to wear a jersey that goes against his beliefs.
Build this guy a statue
Non-story folks.
Stop with the incendiary comments!!! He didnt not “boycott” he chose not to participate but said publicly he has not ill will towards the community. Just doesn’t want to wear symbols he doesn’t believe in! ESPN is such trash!
There's an I A in it now
It’s really perverse, disgusting, and COWARDLY when religion is used as a shield of false virtue.
He didn’t warm up so he didn’t play. End of story. Teams decision to wear them, he he chose not to
If he is truly Christian anyone forcing him to go against his core beliefs is the bigot. He should be allowed to not participate. Just like the rest don't have to participate in his faith. No big deal.
Good for him
Did he still get paid for the game?
They don’t conflict with Christian beliefs, there is nothing in Christianity that says to no agree with how people are born, he is just a bigot
crap
Was it really a boycott or was it he didn’t wanna wear it and didn’t?
These pride events are nothing more than the teams and leagues' virtue signaling and wanting to show moral superiority. These random events (polish night, LGBT, Irish, etc) don't do anything but an attempt to make more money
Yeah but somehow the people that just want to exist eithout being assaulted are the snowflakes and he is a 'hero'.
Yeah getting a little weary of this shit being shoved down our throats…good for him.
It's his choice.
this is why Christianity is a joke
Good for him.
Man is soft as fuck, boohoo it'd one night. Suck it up, wimp
Who cares, let him live his life
Build this man a statue
When is straight pride night?
politics, issues, and world problems do not belong in sport. We watch sports to escape, to enjoy things for a little while, smile, cheer, cuss if you have too, but keep these issues out of the sports realm.
10-17-7 He sucks lmao
What does that IA stand for? I know the rest but when did it get added
Yeah, loving everyone for sure conflicts with Christianity, good call
👏🏽
Can't bash a person because he doesn't believe in your cause. He has a right to choose just like everyone else.
So hate is a Christian belief. So will anyone will refuse to wear pink on brest cancer day because of their beliefs.
Excellent! Good on JamesReimer standing up to the RainbowReich they get extremely perturbed when they can’t control everyone! RainbowCult 😂🖕
When your religion is stupid
I support you James Reimer!
Hell yeah
Lol wear what the fuck you want! This is fucking America!
Hunter Biden smokes crack.
I support James Reimer
Good
realJasonHuang goddamn in 2023 bro?
He fears God rather than man. His right
I’m glad ESPN is still celebrating people that stand up for what they believe in.
They keep trying to push this deviant lifestyle and try and normalize it. Good job Reiner
Good for him for having the stones to stand up to this woke culture. Religion, politics, personal preferences should not be forced onto people in the workplace or anywhere else for that matter.
He’s entitled to his beliefs. Leave him alone. Stop trying to ram your Pride down everyone’s throat.
“Boycott” seems like a deliberately provocative word to describe a simple choice by a guy who didn’t want to be part of a political statement that conflicted with his religious beliefs. Chill out and show him the same respect you do for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Snowflake.
He’s paid to play a sport who cares if he doesn’t wanna represent something he don’t believe it that’s the beauty of freedom
It is America and it’s his right to do so. Unfortunately, most people only want to do it their way … where it works for them.
SanJoseSharks just cut him already
More that we don’t need to celebrate people’s sexual preferences or gender confusion.
LGBTQIA EIEIO
Ahhhhh, rare in today's world. Proud of this dude, Stay true to yourself and God brother.
Why the fuck is this on espn? Your a joke network. Go back to playing sportscenter on repeat all day. When did you become CNN
All about projection with these people. Including the snowflake thing.
Love it. Enough of this crap being thrown down our throats
You people try and make people look evil. Dude has a right just like the people that kneeled for the anthem has a right. Like it or don’t, don’t make him look like a shitty person because it doesn’t fit your narrative
If we take the Bible literally *all* of us live in sin, in some fashion, every day.
U all “attacking” this tweet r 100% hypocrites!! He has a belief and doesn’t agree with a choice. So you feel it’s ok to criticize others for having their own choice?! U all ask to respect your choice and let you live your life, well then respect his choice as well. True haters
Christ taught a gospel of love and acceptance.
I don't agree with the word 'Boycott' it's so very sexist. This is 2023, can we not agree it should be Themcott or Theycott for the sake of inclusion?!
I wonder if Christianity is cool with him taking the money though?
must need more clicks.
Good for him, this shit needs to stop!
He’s not insulting anyone. He has the right to put his faith before anything else. God will bless you, James.💛
Who knew Christians could be so spineless...😂
Comments just prove that we are in the last days.
Does he play on Sundays? The day of the Sabbath
Good
What a pathetic little triggered snowflake. If he doesn't want to wear the Pride jersey due to his religious beliefs, fine. hatever. But to not even WARM UP with his teammates? That's pathetic, and it even warrants the franchise questioning his commitment to his team and winning
Good for him.
Good for him. Why does anyone have to openly support the behaviors of other people.
Hockey is so far behind in every aspect
Pretty sure jesus loves all his children
Standing up for your beliefs is a fundamental human right.
Freedom of choice
Pretty effed up for your employer to put you in this position. The guy is just here to play hockey.
Stand. I don’t see goin after Islam which has the same views on it… selective
That's not very love thy neighbor of you bro
Good for him…he’s allowed
The sharks have boycotted playing all season long
He didn't participate because he has 'pride' in himself. The left are crazy hypocrites, you have to respect their beliefs but they can dump all or yours...
Lev 20: 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
He didn’t sign up for Pride Night
Typical Christian misunderstanding of the Bible and Jesus message
Good. Let the man live his life and make his own choices. Its only a big deal because you clowns are reporting on it
It’s his right. You can’t support kapernick then say this guy can’t sit for a game for his values he lost a game check. It’s his right to not want to participate don’t be a hypocrite.
What a whiny baby this guy is.
Forcing their beliefs on everyone.
Good for him!
Good. The Pride flag and colors is a political movement
True to one’s beliefs are hard to find in the world we live in today
Avalanche thank the guys for absolutely dunking on this tool a week ago! Makes that blow out feel more impactful
The LGBT people are so fragile they can't even take someone who will not bend to their will.
No one would have noticed if he didn’t put out a statement-
It is not like they hate these people, they just hate what they practice. Love the sinner, hate the sin
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
And watch his jerseys fly off the shelves!
They don’t conflict, you’re just a homophobe. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Respect 🙏🏻
He has every right too.
SVanpussy69420 Did we recently add more letters?
I'm just here for the triggered folks
An individual not waving your flag for you does not make them phobic or a bigot. It makes them an individual. Individual Liberty Equity.
Can't we just play hockey?
In this country, we have e freedom of Religion. No one should be forced to deny their God. Our constitution protects our rights to believe .
👍🏼
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good for him!!! I respect his beliefs
Soft af
Good for him for not bowing down to the woke and staying true to his beliefs.
Free country, free speech, but now let’s make this man a target, just because he didn’t want to do what the mass media wanted him to do!
How does it conflict with Christian beliefs. Luke 6:31: Do Unto Others What You Would Have Them Do Unto You. Matthew 7:12: So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets
Jackass
Nice James!! Congrats thanks for standing up on the big stage
Why can't the players who don't wear the jerseys still warm up
Respect. Freedom to choose what we put in our bodies is just as important as what we choose to put on our bodies and represent in a truly free society. Enough of the bullshit and forced virtue signaling for woke causes many do not agree with.
He looks like an inbred hick
Isn’t it funny that people with his Christian beliefs are the ones always talking about “freedom” of America, but are the ones who are crying anytime someone goes against their so called “values” kick rocks dude.
The fact that this is an issue for anyone is laughable. Regardless what you think about his statement, there’s nothing homophobic about not wanting to wear an item of clothing, people shouldn’t be shamed because certain actions make them uncomfortable
3.26 goals-against average?
Are you guys crying at ?
Good for him and gay night has no place in sports
Snowflake 😂
Good man!!
I mean, like that’s his belief, then whatever. As long as he’s not an asshole and does not mistreat people who also have different beliefs than him then there’s nothing wrong. Maybe one day he will be more open minded, but if he’s respectful to ppl, that’s his prerogative.
another loser, who cares
Booooooo
Wtf such a bozo
The TQIA2S+ part of the acronym is a massive for-profit industry and ideology driving this cult like behavior. Absolutely no one, regardless of faith, should be forced to perform activism for their employer on behalf of this toxic movement. I support James Reimer's choice.
No one should be FORCED to show support for anyone.
W
Lol. Cry some more dude.!
Might not be a good fit for the bay area. Or America.
👏🏼
👍
I don’t think Christian means what he thinks it means. What an embarrassment to the faith.
He should have that right.
I’m very proud of him
Religion is the best! Whatever i hate & can't stand & wish would d*e for their acts of filth i'm just gonna claim religion made me…
Good for him! Stand up for your rights.
No religion should cause you to think this way
Good for him!! 👏
Good for him
had a hard on for people voicing their beliefs against ANYTHING , divide and conquer
think the Sharks are boycotting him…does he even get on the ice? never even heard of this dude…
Good.
Hockey isn't a sport
“Good for him”
Be a professional and do your job
Reimer wouldn’t wear a shirt for the new state religion. O no.
Being Christian does not mean you are gracious and accept everyone's beliefs. Jesus was quite judgemental. He wasn't rude, just sat it out. His choice.
Doesn’t he know your not aloud to have any of your own beliefs.
Celebrating the way people have sex is mind-boggling. Especially when it's less than 5% of the population. Can you marry? Can your partner use your benefits, and does the government see your partner as your next of kin? Then you won. The rest is just for attention
Dick
Why is this news
You have to stand for something. Good on him
Good for him!! Way to stand up for yourself.
Why do people care about this so much ? So he didn’t wanna wear a jersey. I’m an Army Veteran, and if some player didn’t want to wear a military appreciation jersey…I wouldn’t care, it’s their prerogative.
Religion is the biggest fraud. 'My religion says to love people, but not THOSE ppl'.
Good
😂✌️
Religion aside, why do sports teams have to celebrate or support any sexual identity?
Can someone kindly point out in the bible where it says you’re not allowed to wear a rainbow jersey while you warm up for your ice hockey game? I can find something about not wearing mixed fabrics, is this his issue? Or is he just a hypocrite?
Good for him. It's his choice. Just like the LGBTQ community is free to express themselves, he is also awarded that same freedom and shouldn't be criticized for it.
Complete BS Reimer. I’m Christian as well but I know the difference between wrong and right. Embarrassing.
it's his right and ESPN shouldn't make a deal about it but they will bc they are far left
It is his right
Good for him. When people start wearing Straight Pride jerseys, then I might consider it
I love this guy now. Gonna follow the Sharks all because of this badass.
Christians are so good at picking and choosing which part of an old fiction book to abide by
Dude looks like his parents are cousins.
Imagine being guided by a fictional book.
W Reimer
Yeah because Christianity is so devoid of issues
I’ve got tickets for beastiality ight
Why use a term like 'boycott' which makes it sound like an aggressive act of protest rather than a quiet, personal decision to stand aside?
It’s the religion who teaches hate in the people and there own interpretations
Fire him
Exact same thing happend to Zeus and Jupiter. Now Jesus knows what it feels like when you have a waning influence. We are at the forefront of a digital age. Christian influence is already the later compared to the internet. Online is the new religion. Holy war incoming.
His choice. Nothing violent or disrespectful.
But be sure to thank god when you win - essentially saying god didn’t give a damn about the losing team. 🤡😂🤡
I thought Christian’s loved the person and hated the sin
My beliefs are you shouldn’t love who you love…so before everyone says freedom of speech goes both ways
I hope no one in the LGBTQ community spends a penny on a Sharks game until they lose this guy. Disgusting.
Yeah, the long haired hippie who was born to a virgin impregnated by a literal God, hung out with prostitutes, and had 12 dudes called disciples hanging on his every word and step definitely was only ok with heteronormative stuff…
Respect for standing by his beliefs, W James!
All this gay hate tells me he definitely has a Grindr account
Good
W
Jesus seeing his message warped to serve bigots
Oh, the one time espn covers hockey and this is what they choose lol espn doesn't even know the rules to hockey
Great job to him for sticking up for the rest of us and our beliefs
That’s awesome - his body his choice, right?
Wtf is all them letters
He works on the sabbath. How do we kill him?
I can understand not wearing the pride jersey but draw the line at not playing. That is next level over reaction.
🙏🙏🙏
Good for him!!!
What happened to love thy neighbor or do unto others what you do for you? Christians love picking and choosing what part of the Bible they want to follow. This is why I hate religion it makes people hypocritical
Good for him
Good for him 👏
Honestly w
Real christianity preachers tolerance and not supremacy. Guys like him are fake Christians and extremist.
Based.
Why is this even a topic? He said he's not supporting the lgbtq stuff. Didn't say he's anti gay or anything of that nature.
Good for him. I’d have done the same thing.
I am not a Christian and I still wouldn't wear the damn thing.
Good for you!
If you can’t support justice because of “religious beliefs,” you belong to the wrong religion.
Good for him, you can respect the LGBTQIA but you don’t have to show support. He has the right to his beliefs.
This is year round now? I thought all this pride bullshit was supposed to be in June.
Seems kind of silly to me but he does have that right unless the Sharks say otherwise
Hypocrites. Every single Christian. Period. What a sham of a religion.
Ahhh Christian beliefs. So handy…
Damn jus keep adding letters… yeah let’s keep putting all of those communities in the same box cause they are the same…. Clown shit
Worst team in hockey by far
All of us atheists are not surprised
Sounds like what Jesus would have done
why do people still care about this guy? he was never ever good.
Gee I wonder if he was ever involved in the notoriously gay activities that go on in sport locker rooms and hotels….athletes are basically closeted homosexuals.
ppl really mad this dude didn’t wear the jersey with the right colors on it 😂
Good for him. Stop force feeding perverted demonic lifestyles on everyone.
Big sigh, he’s not wrong to have an opinion but made a celebration of lgbtq sharks fans about him. The same as sikh heritage, women of teal, filipino heritage nights to celebrate and bring in new fans. They only wear them in warmups.
Oh you mean like how it was ok for people to kneel in protest against police? Oh it’s just ok for one group or side, but not the other? 🖕🏻 lol
That’s his right. Just as it was Kapernick’s and others to kneel during the anthem. It’s sports. Move on.
Real simple, to each his or her own. Respect others decisions just as you would want them to respect yours.
Good for him, everyone who stands up for their beliefs should be celebrated equally or no one be celebrated for their standing up for their beliefs at all..
Gotta give respect to earn respect is all I have to say u want someone to respect ur life choices gotta respect other choices also 50/50 is all I’m saying I support in anyone’s beliefs but imma stand on mines regardless no knock to war u believe in stand on it just like I stand
He's PAID EMPLOYEE AND THIS IS A COMPANY FUNCTION. All you douchebags said the exact same thing when companies were pressuring people to return to the office post COVID. Either stick to your awful beliefs or just come out and admit you hate anyone who isn't white and straight 🖕🏼
They are forcing gayness on everybody.
Sharks.
He didn’t condemn didn’t do it in a disrespectful or disruptive manner. Re2pect my brother
I follow in Jesus' example by condemning others. I definitely do not associate with sex workers, lepers, or other outcasts. Because as Jesus famously preached, 'hate thy neighbor.'
They ain’t making the playoffs anyways so🤷🏽♂️
Good
James Reimer decided being the goalie in the epic Toronto Maple Leafs collapse in 2013 wasn’t enough of a newsmaker for him so ten years later he pulls this crap. The LGBTQ community needs support and this was beyond dreadful by him.
Free to choose right? He chose not to. Grow up and move on.
Loser
Good for him! Tired of being force fed this bullshit!
Nice to see someone standing up for his beliefs in this “free country”
They were also forcing him to wear some rainbow shark jersey during this scrimmage. Good for you James! The Sharks should do a Christian scrimmage for the community and see the hypocrisy of the people and the media
How is not participating in something a boycott? Sensationalize much.... Lol
Why do we have to have a pride night?🤔
What's the issue? Hint, there isn't 1
Wish more people had this kind of backbone!!
How does this go over in San Jose CALIFORNIA?
🖕ESPN & Disney... pushing woke & garbage agendas on children EVERYWHERE !!!
QIA+ … Let’s just add the whole alphabet at this point?
Absolutely his right and it should be defended just like anyone else’s.
Good for him.
Legend
Rare hockey W
he's got the right
This is America. You're aloud to believe in a make believe overlord who lives in the clouds that demands you're compliancy to their rules in life so they can keep your soul for eternity. I am also aloud to laugh in your face for believing such nonesense.
Idiot!!
Gonna kill a sport that is struggling enough to keep fans
I love that so many players on the Sharks wanted to wear the jerseys.
I watch sports to get away from religion. Just shut up and play goalie
Does he know wearing a pride jersey doesn't make him gay?
Based Reimer
So funny how Hockey has a negative stigma for racist and homophobic fans and the players are like “Ya let’s show them we are like that too”
I’m tired of people using (Christian believes) as a reason. I accept all people because my believes teaches me acceptance. I wonder if he will allow a gay doctor to treat a love one on a life a death situation
To the lgbtq community and no I won't add letters, none of you are special and none of you are brave, if a shirt choice affects you that much then delete social media and don't go outside. I'm curios Trans people wurnt comfortable with what they wur wearing so is that ok
Next thing there going to say is that Jesus was gay, might I add this christian religion is the same one slave owners use against us to help and further in slave us, and for the record nobody really cares about one's choices America is the land of hypocrites
support the movement or die....good god why aren't ppl aloud to have their own opinion!?
Espn is offended
'Christian' is a funny way of spelling bigoted
buying his jersey now
At least he’s honest about what a pile of 💩 he is.
Notice how quickly all of you went from “we want gay people to be able to marry” to “you WILL celebrate it whether you like it or not” and you still think you are the good guys
Lmao what a loser
What a dork
I hope the teams beliefs were to not pay him for that game!
I applaud his stance. Believe it or not, but homosexual lifestyle is a sin. Adam and Eve... never Adam and Steve
The whitest thing i’ve read all day.
His choice.. You can't force a person to take a belief he doesn't believe in... and being African American I know this as some people still don't mess with us like that.. And that's their choice too..
Whatever, free country. But if you’re going to hide behind “religious beliefs “ you should understand them. Pretty sure the guy who stood up for and included the outcasts of society wouldn’t agree with this
playing your sport on a Sunday also goes against the teachings of the bible - and I’m pretty this hockey team has played Sunday games - but you didn’t hear that from me
We all need to stop caring about who people decide they wanna have sex with and spend their time with when it has no effect on our life.
This is a great guy. Just got a new fan
How will my gay taxpaying home pick up the pieces and move on? Guess read that book a little differently than James. Eating some shrimp today too.
Hilarious. Battle between two sides that want to make their own choice and not have something forced upon them.
LGBTQIROCRAZY+%$ crowd is pissed
stand on your faith brother
I love how people are conflating his wishes to not wear the jersey as heat. Maybe he just doesn’t believe the same things you believe. Not wearing the jersey hurts, no one…at all. Forcing someone to believe what you believe is absolutely hateful.
How brave
Lemme just say that Christianity in America doesn’t have the best track record.
Respect to u sir 🫡
This is outstanding! Good for him!
Good for him! If the LGBTQ community is so inclusive and loving, they should not be mad about this and respect his decision factsdontcareaboutyourfeelings
i really don’t understand why ppl think everyone has to participate in their thing. it’s ok if that man don’t wanna wear a pride shirt. y’all want inclusion but won’t be inclusive of other ppls beliefs.. make it make sense. he didn’t harm anybody. tf are y’all so mad about?
When you take a stand on not believing in human rights for others. So brave.
Amen 🙏🏾
People saying God loves all verse who's getting in heaven are pretty different things. Google what the bible says about men and women laying with other men and women. Leviticus
Good for him. If he was part of any other religion espn wouldn’t of covered it
Can we please stop the attempts to alienate a person for not choosing to celebrate another individual's personal life decisions? I can respect your life choices if you can respect my choice to be excluded from such celebrations. Regardless of the reason why.
As someone who grew up in the church and has a personal relationship with God, all I can say is… this guy is a 🤡🤡
They probably told him he wasn’t playing cuz of that atrocious 89% save percentage
good for him this has gotten out of hand
Sounds like a guy that isn't really in touch with his Christian values.
Should have just said he was Muslim then we’d hear how great it is
Good for him.
W religion comes first before any of this
Dude probably likes men deep down
He’s got every right to do so 🤷🏼♂️
That’s why América is so great he got to make a choice and he’s still playing people forget the big picture
Shouldn’t be forced to do anything 😂
God loves all
Might get serious hate but since when did that add extra letters to that shit
Lmao “conflicting beliefs” the homophobic equivalent to claiming insanity for crimes
religion seriously needs to die how do otherwise intelligent human beings literally dedicate their lives to (self serving hypocritical) fairy tales there is no need on earth for this your god isn't real, your religion is man made, you believe in nonsense
We applaud him
So much for love thy neighbor
Wtf is IA 😂😂😂
He shouldn’t be forced to support something he doesn’t believe in. Wtf. 🤦♀️
Ok. He has beliefs. Next story
no one cares fella 😭
fisker_whisker
Good for him
LeBron would've wore feathers in his hair
Massive W
W
I speak for everyone when I say we do not care
Good for him.
W in my books
Who 😭
What a loser, following a fictional book so hard
LeBron fault
