Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov is getting the last laugh after deranged leftists attacked him for refusing to wear an LGBT “pride” jersey, citing his Christian beliefs.
The brouhaha erupted Tuesday when the Flyers had their “Pride Night” promotion at the Wells Fargo Arena, which involved players wearing rainbow uniforms during pregame warmups.
Provorov declined to participate, citing his Russian Orthodox faith.
“I respect everybody and I respect everybody’s choices,” the 26-year-old athlete said. “My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.”
The National Hockey League issued a statement Wednesday backing Provorov, noting that NHL players have the right to choose which causes they support.
Good for him. He made a statement , and said nothing more. We need more folks to stand their ground respectfully. The lunatic left can’t stand anyone who does that.
