Are you saying Provorov has had pre-marital sex?
No way. What would ever temp him to commit a sin like that?
You are right, it was a lazy post, and it was intentional. See the irony, given your earlier post?You can add this to the list then:
Wether you agree with that lifestyle or not (I couldn't get a shit wether one does or not) this is an extremely ignorant and lazy post.
Hell, I'd even take calling me a Dipshit again over that. Do better man.
I don't see the government infringing on his right to free speech. I see people calling him either ignorant or an intolerant asshole and wanting him to face consequences for his actions.Unlike the other poster, I don't want to decide. I respect one's right to free speech.
What does that have to do with you literally forcing somebody to do something? Now you get to tell ppl how to practice their faith? Yikes

I know he wasn't charged with a crime, and you're entitled to your opinion. I happen to think you are wrong in this case, and that is my opinion. I can respect his right to free speech and not have it be about the government charging him with a crime.I don't see the government infringing on his right to free speech.

You know, like what happened to Colin Kapernick.
No I didn‘t even mean in a way that affected their careers, just the harm of not being able to be open about who they are. It does cause harm, emotional and mental health.This is a tough one, because I understand what you are saying, and my reaction is, is that harmful? Are there gay players who were absolutely 100% good enough to make it and didnt? I don't know, if one can show that, then maybe I can agree there's harm...
Definitely not wanting to get into a debate about LGBTQ rights in pro sports etc, but if there's no player good enough to make it, regardless of sexual preference, I fail to see where harm is....
Just a brief point. ‘Some‘ Christian’s think those things. This is the difference between faith and religion because some denominations of Christian churches support gay marriage and some even allow weddings in their churches.I wasn’t gonna weigh in on Provorov but 2 things came to mind.
Saying it’s against your beliefs is your right. But that also has now put a spotlight on his other actions. Christians also consider other sexual “sin” against their beliefs (porn, pre-marital sex, etc) so much spotlight on homosexuality and little attention given to other areas can be hypocritical. Not saying he does these just that the spotlight is there now.
Also, isn’t Russia known for is homophobic tendencies?

There will be plenty of guys in the closet in the league, most certainly.
Amen!!!!foolishly i open this thread again and again expecting to read something about hockey
Willie O'Ree played 45 NHL games. That hardly puts him in the category of athletes like Jackie Robinson or Muhammed Ali.Bingo. "Stick to sports" isn't new, and it's typically not proven to be viewed favorably by history either (e.g. Jackie Robinson, Herb Carnegie, Willie O'Ree, Mohammed Ali, and so on).
The Bruins are pretty good this year. Do they need anything at the deadline?foolishly i open this thread again and again expecting to read something about hockey
What am I wrong about? I said he had the right to choose not to participate and I didn't even say he should be free from society thinking he's a jerk for his actions. You know... respecting the freedom of speech of other people who are voicing it. You do realize everyone saying he should be banned from the league have the right to say it, just as much as Provorov has the right not to wear the pride jersey?I know he wasn't charged with a crime, and you're entitled to your opinion. I happen to think you are wrong in this case, and that is my opinion. I can respect his right to free speech and not have it be about the government charging him with a crime.
Fortunately in America, we don't have hate speech crimes, or thought police, yet.
Only moves Boston makes will be to replace a major injury really. I just don't see them needing anything if they keep rolling like this. Why introduce a new player that can break the flow of chemistry?The Bruins are pretty good this year. Do they need anything at the deadline?
Will the Kings, with their -3 goal differential. be overtaken by the Oilers and the Flames.
Agreed, I don't see any glaring weakness on their roster either.Only moves Boston makes will be to replace a major injury really. I just don't see them needing anything if they keep rolling like this. Why introduce a new player that can break the flow of chemistry?

It's likely left up to the team or it may not be something he can be punished for according to the CBA. The ASG is a different animal.Someone brought this up in the media today, if you skip the league sponsored all-star game, you are suspended a game cut and dry. This is a league wide sponsored inititive , that you chose to skip for whatever your beliefs are, yet your entire organization is behind it, should'nt you miss the game. If your beliefs are that strong, skip the game.

Ha. I wish this board had a clown of the decade award as you seem like the perfect circus leader with your history of opinions.Agreed, I don't see any glaring weakness on their roster either.
I wish they could use an 4C checking center with a $10M cap hit though, or a backup goalie with a $5M cap hit.
