National Hockey League Bans “Pride Tape” On Sticks

Outsports reports:

The NHL’s decree that players and teams are no longer allowed to wear rainbow-colored Pride jerseys to celebrate the LGBTQ community was bad enough. Now comes word that the league front office has sent all 32 teams a series of memos that include alleged “clarification” on this policy.

On top of this — and most egregious of all — Outsports has learned that the NHL has issued a league-wide ban of Pride Tape on the ice with the players during warm-ups, games and even practices.

A league spokesperson has confirmed this change in policy with Outsports. This is, as far as Outsports is aware, the most stifling, anti-LGBTQ policy any pro sports league in North America has ever issued.

The NHL has created its own ‘Don’t Say Gay’ policy, with a ban on Pride Tape.

Disgraceful. Despicable. Outrageous. Petty.https://t.co/3xnhPRywp9
