I assume James also gives away most of his money and helps feed the poor? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just say, I don’t want to wear it because I don’t want to support it. anyways, give me 6 mill a year and I’ll wear a pride shirt all year round! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish one of these “Christian’s” would have the balls to stand up and do the opposite. It would be refreshing to hear them say you know what MY religion teaches love and acceptance that’s why I’m choosing to wear this jersey tonight. Unfortunately there’s too many zealots in that religion it would seem. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of the book of how many goats I should trade not to get buggered by my neighbour. Edit: Well let's just say it's not Jesus. As for the Bible - it simply means "the Books". A history lesson. The biggest one in there might be made up, but it's also the most important one. Jesus was pure love. That's not what Reimer is doing here. It's pretty lame.

Wasn’t there that Mary Magdalene character in the Bible and her story of acceptance by Jesus, when others wouldn’t? It’s crazy how some Christians refuse to accept everyone. Their churches suck pucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't match up to his statement and makes no sense. He's just trying to be diplomatic. Obviously he believes in Leviticus etc. or at least part of it and what's really to be gained for him or the LGBT community by him specifically saying that his bible passages condemn homosexuality. He doesn't want to wear the shirt. So be it. If you want a more specific statement from him (I think the implication is already obvious) I don't know what good it would really do anyone. It sounds like he accepts and/or tolerates the LGBT community and as far as I know has never done anything to impede or harm them. I'm pretty sure if he hadn't been expected to wear this shirt today then none of us would ever have learned his opinion on the matter. It's not like he has been broadcasting this view unsolicited during his career. Like I said before...it is more meaningful to have 98% of players voluntarily wear the shirt than have 100% of them wear it because they are forced to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear the shirt and support inclusion of gay people. His actions make no sense when compared to his statement. The NHL should have fined provorov. Nip this ignorance in the bud.

Okay but where will you draw the line at what an employer can make an employee wear in terms of clothing that supports any particular view or community or political position. Reimer signed a contract to play hockey, not to espouse any political position. I don't agree with him but I don't think his livelihood should be affected. What will your position be if your boss tells you to wear a shirt at work that supports a position you disagree with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not politics; it’s doing what’s right. Who decides what is right? That's a lot of trust in a corporation. Suppose your boss tells you to wear a shirt at work that supports Israel against Palestine, or Palestine against Israel, or pro choice, or anti abortion, or a specific religion that isn't yours. You don't have to join the religion but you have to wear the shirt saying it is true or else you aren't supporting Buddhists / Muslims / etc. You could say no and your boss would say you are being ignorant and it's time to nip that ignorance in the bud... If you start down this road, where would you draw the line. What political or human rights positions can an employee be made to wear messaging for under the pain of fines or firing. Who decides what messages an employee can be forced to wear. Like I said, I don't agree with Reimer but I agree with his right to not be made to wear the shirt. Even if you don't see it at the moment, you want to open a can of worms with its own human rights issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
