My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.\u201d Flyers head coach John Tortorella defended Provorov, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greg_price11\/status\/1615572273133457408\">echoing, <\/a>\u201cHe\u2019s being true to himself and to his religion. \u2026 It\u2019s one thing I respect about Provy, he\u2019s always true to himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tortorella and Provorov\u2019s actions incensed Canadian broadcaster Sid Seixeiro, the host of \u201cBreakfast Television,\u201d The first person to compare the situation with what occurred in Major League Baseball last season was, \u201cThis happened in baseball last year with the Tampa Bay Rays; there were five members of the Tampa Bay Rays who wouldn\u2019t wear a patch supporting gay rights, and Major League Baseball didn\u2019t do much. It was a story for a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then turned to Tortorella. \u201cJohn Tortorella, many years ago, when racial injustice \u2014 and it still is to this day \u2014 when Colin Kaepernick first started kneeling during national anthems, said anyone who does that on my team is going to sit. And he has a son who is an Army Ranger. So it\u2019s not like Tortorella in the past hasn\u2019t spoken on sensitive issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He gave the NHL a lecture on how to respond.<\/p>\n<p><em>The National Hockey League&#8217;s theme is \u201cHockey is for everyone,\u201d okay. The theme is not: \u201cHockey is for everyone \u2026 unless you don\u2019t believe in gay rights, then do whatever you want.\u201d If the National Hockey League\u2019s gonna do this, if any league\u2019s gonna do this, do it properly, or reevaluate what you\u2019re doing, because there\u2019s not a lot of repercussions that I\u2019m seeing from any league.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Now it could change with the NHL, it could change with the NHL, I think you fine the Flyers a million dollars for this, I\u2019m not kidding. Figure this out and stop offending people on nights where it\u2019s not about that, it\u2019s supposed to be about inclusivity.\u00a0 The National Hockey League need to attack this and figure this out, because what I heard last night was offensive and didn\u2019t make any sense.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just think the NHL has to do something here,\u201d Seixeiro snapped, \u201cThis is not good enough. \u2018Hockey is for everyone \u2026 unless you don\u2019t agree with gay rights\u2019 is not the phrasing of this. You\u2019re either in this or you\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then went on the attack against religious people. \u201cAnd one last point: Nothing scares me more than any human being who says \u2018I\u2019m not doing this because of my religious beliefs,\u2019 because when you\u2019ve looked at people\u2019s lives who say that publicly, you\u2019d throw up at what you saw. You would throw up at what you saw. And I\u2019ve seen that a million times in a lot of different ways. So don\u2019t give me that, with respect, don\u2019t give me that, \u2019cause no one\u2019s perfect. Don\u2019t feed me the religious beliefs line and all of a sudden the NHL\u2019s gonna back off this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe National Hockey League today (rapping the desk) needs to fine that organization a million dollars and reevaluate how they support gay rights, \u2019cause that is insulting,\u201d He concluded.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov didn\u2019t take part in the NHL\u2019s \u201cHockey Is For Everyone\u201d pregame warmups \u2013 where players wore Pride-themed jerseys and used sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape \u2013 citing his religion as the reason. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sid_Seixeiro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sid_seixeiro<\/a> Share his thoughts\u2b07\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8c7XnP2FYJ\">pic.twitter.com\/8c7XnP2FYJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breakfast Television (@breakfasttv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/breakfasttv\/status\/1615683937472315392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 18, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/true-to-myself-and-my-religion-nhl-player-ivan-provorov-refuses-to-participate-in-teams-pride-night-festivities\">\u2018True To Myself And My Religion\u2019: NHL Player Ivan Provorov Refuses To Participate In Team\u2019s \u2018Pride Night\u2019\u00a0Festivities<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Canadian broadcaster launched a vicious attack on religious people after Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov refused to take part in warmups to observe \u201cPride Night\u201d because of his Christian faith.
