I’ll get downvoted by idiots that think wearing a different jersey changes a damn thing in this world.

Exactly! who gives a shit, just put on a rainbow jersey and play hockey. Why do we even care what Russians think?

No you missed the point. The jerseys are stupid. They don’t wear black history month jerseys, or women’s history month jerseys. Seriously, it’s hockey, just keep it that way. They don’t need to show “fake” support for a community by wearing rainbow jerseys if they don’t want to. Freedom of speech, you shouldn’t be ridiculed for not wearing a rainbow practice Jersey if you don’t want to. Literally who cares, just move on

I really don't think you understand what Freedom of Speech is. Even when you ignore the part about being a government to individual thing. Freedom of Speech does not mean you can't be ridiculed or criticized. In fact that's literally the point of Freedom of Speech, it is your right that you can choose to wear or not wear something while it is mine right to ridicule you.

You’re right, and you’ll get downvotes for not being woke enough. So will I, but who cares about that either.
