"Prior to the game," the Flyers announced happily on Tuesday, Flyers players will wear special Pride-themed warmup jerseys and use warm-up sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape. Both the jerseys and sticks will be auctioned off by Flyers Charities following the game with proceeds going to Flyers Charities and their efforts to grow the game of hockey in diverse communities." The Flyers like their communities "diverse," but this doesn't extend to diversity of thought; everyone was expected to don the rainbow jerseys and use the rainbow sticks. Provorov enunciated his dissent, however, in the politest of terms: "I respect everyone. I respect everybody's choices," he said. "My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion."

Aye, there's the rub. In the woke world, someone like Provorov doesn't get a choice. The Left is all about "choice" for other Leftists only, not for dissidents. And so, in response to Provorov's stand, the Flyers felt the need to bolster their woke bona fides, issuing a statement saying, "The Philadelphia Flyers organization is committed to inclusivity and is proud to support the local LGBTQ+ community. Many of our players are active in their support of local LGBTQ+ organizations, and we were proud to host our annual Pride Night again this year. The Flyers will continue to be strong advocates for inclusivity and the LGBTQ+ community." Translation: Please, Leftists, don't hurt us! Don't bar us from polite society! This heretic doesn't represent us! We'll be good, we promise!... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
