Hockey Journos Tell Ivan Provorov to Celebrate Homosexuality or Go Back to Russia
19 Jan 2023
The NHL Network’s E.J. Hradek tells the Philadelphia Flyers’ Ivan Provorov to go back where he came from because he chose not to participate in a warm-up for an LGBTQ event wearing a rainbow jersey, citing his Russian Orthodox faith. So much for religious liberty on the left.
NHL analyst says on the NHL Network! that if Philly Flyers Provorov doesn’t want to wear a pro-LBGTQ uniform he should leave America, go back to Russia, and fight in the war against Ukraine. The tolerant left! Holy shit: pic.twitter.com/wWLFBy2stC

In Canada, they took it even further. Imagine them saying this about an African who had lived in America since he was 13.

This sounds a lot more tolerant.
“I respect everybody and I respect everybody’s choices. My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.”
