Often people ignorant regarding the fallibility of their beliefs use phrases like “forced” and “pushing it”. The on-going legalization of gay marriage often reflects similar sentiment. “Forcing beliefs” itself is a misnomer. Educating people about the diversity of people within society predicated on fundamental normative concepts of equality and fairness isnt brainwashing. These are carefully considered positions based on the values listed above. These positions rationally stand on their own. As such sports arnt distinct from being a part of society nor is it over bearing to celebrate one of the many aspects of our communities 1 day a year.

Popular Post bishopshodan Posted February 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2023 WTF is going on in this thread? Some backwards mofos in this place. The players do not have a choice in what uniform they wear. The employer sets the rules. You don't like it, go play somewhere else. Should be in the code of conduct. I pointed this out before. The players skate around in Adidas uniforms. Adidas is known for using sweat shops. Since they wear those jerseys, does that mean all the players in the league support sweatshops? of course not. I know, its a what-aboutism but I don't care. If you want to have your backwards, sky fairy crap to believe...so be it, but don't bring your ignorance to your work place. Its not where you get to express your 'freedom'. It is where you sign a contract, and get paid to do as directed. It's not just hockey they play , they are also representatives of a pro game which is a business. On and off the ice. Again, this is why most companies have a code of conduct that must be adhered to. Stupid f'ing people. So much fear and hate. It's weak and sad to see. 3 4 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant force rational agents to accept the reasonableness of a belief-that’s on them. But I can certainly support legal rules and organizational policies that reflect such. If people feel forced by that-boohoo. All it does is illustrate their fallibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more disappointed with the NHL and certain NHL teams than the players not wanting to participate. The NHL should have held the line on it rather than caving to the unpopular few who are anti-gay disguised as freedom fighters or religious.
