Pretty sure the issue is more about the muskovite state’s retribution.

Its more about Muscovites being lethal dicks.

Yes, Im speaking mostly generally about instances of players having to wear things they don’t support on their jerseys and how I beleive the blackhawks should have handled it

I was a lifelong fan, but after Kyle Beach I can no longer support this organization until the owner sells the team because he’s a cancer that’s still there.

The team is the one that is saying the players don’t have to wear it in this case though…

Meh, Russia's the type of country to kill their families

>some people just don’t want to do it. That should be enough of an answer.

That’s true when it comes to the players’ personal lives but not when they’re suiting up for their job.

Like, a player is getting paid by the org to rep what the org reps.

If the team wants to put a “wish.com” patch on your jersey after you signed a 4 year 50M dollar deal, you gotta wear the jersey and the patch. If a player doesn’t like the design of the New Jerseys, it doesn’t matter that they “don’t like it”. Still gotta wear it. …PERIOD.

This isn’t any different.

look, i agree that no one should be forced to wear something they don't want to wear (although many people have to wear things like uniforms for their jobs, but you know what i mean). but when we are in a world in which people are trying to legislate trans people out of existence, attacking drag for no reason, and the most recent GOP party platform still is against gay marriage or gay people being able to adopt, then being vocal and open in your show of support really is a powerful thing.

That aside -- I'm sure your daughter does not expect you to do any of that, and I wouldn't expect my parents to either, but I'm sure she wouldn't be upset to see you do so.

also anti-fashion! these jerseys are pretty sweet! i kinda wish i had one!

I thought hockey players were tough

I don’t understand why you guys are downvoting this, CBS posted their own article and summarized it on Reddit. I for one like this idea

Yup, if I had to choose between wearing a rainbow jersey at the risk of my families well-being, I wouldn’t wear it either. People in the comments don’t realize how good we have it compared to so many other countries.

So the whole fucking team won't wear them not just the Russians? What bullshit and they know it. Shame shame

I’m beginning to think they might be hiding something 🏳️‍🌈

My understanding is that the Russian players don’t want to wear it at least partially for fear of the Russian government

CBS News posting their articles in relevant subreddits is honestly genius marketing

Here's a preview of the story:

Ali Krieger, a soccer star known for her impressive defensive skills and leadership on and off the field, announced on "CBS Mornings" Thursday that she is retiring from professional soccer.

"This is the right time for me," she said. "I've given so much to the game, and I've gotten a lot in return. But I feel it. My body also feels it."

Krieger has been an integral part of U.S. women's soccer for more than a decade, making more than 100 appearances with the U.S. Women's National Team. She currently plays for Gotham FC, a member of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) — and plans to retire at the end of the league's season.

In her final season, she has a last chance to win a title that has eluded her.

"I see the 2023 season as an opportunity to celebrate with our fans and my fellow players, but make no mistake - my entire focus is on winning the NWSL championship with Gotham FC," Krieger said in a news release.
