Oilers' McDavid wants NHL to reverse ban on theme tape including for Pride

It's such a dumb rule. Tape is tape, are they afraid the goalies won't see the puck?
- It's not even for during game time, it's during warmups. It affects nothing allowing whatever tape (or jerseys) they want.
Or, or, just play the fucking game and for the love of god please keep any kind of politics out of it. Not everything needs to be filled with statements.
- My existence is not a political statement.
  
  And colorful tape didn’t have to be political either. Banning shit like that, or pride, blm, or any other non-hate based messaging is fucking ridiculous.
  
  That's great, does your existence need to be announced in everything? I don't do that with mine.
  
  I don't care if you're gay, I'm just sick of seeing rainbows everywhere.
- keep any kind of politics out of it
  In favor of no national anthems then?
  
  Yes, for the love of fucking god. Not because national anthems are political, that's one of the dunbest things that's been said in this thread, but because they're an annoying waste of time. I wanna watch the sport, stop singing weirdo's.
- Is this what no bitches does to a man
- Idk in a game that has historically had issues with sexual assault and hazing and enough people speaking out about not feeling welcome, don't you think it's kind of important to address in one way or another? It's making noise because it's going against the status quo. NHL made a decision based on the beliefs of like 10 players vs the rest of the league who supported pride nights.
  
  No, if it's shit snd weird shit goes on stop watching and sending money their way. It'll sort itself out or die
- You realize the tape was the result of research that showed that hockey was the least homosexual friendly sport to play, right?
  It’s supposed to be for everyone, but then they get angry at you if you’re gay.
  
  Least homosexual sport is a bunch of shit mate. What, you gonna perform worse if you're gay? If you play the game and keep your sexuality to yourself like everyone else I doubt there's an issue.
- "For the love of god"
  Why do you people have to keep dragging religion into this?
  
  It's an expression that is in the zeitgeist. Like an axe to grind or a pot to piss in. It has trancended literal interpretation.
- Oh my bad random internet wanker, I'll just send someone virtuous like yourself the login
- How about we let the players do what they feel like and stop trying to nanny them over what they can and can't do with their own shit. Fucking weirdo.
  
  It would be nice if the NHL would have an list of approved tapes. And the approval process was really quick and painless, just to keep out tape with swastikas or whatnot.
- WHOA, EVERYBODY! We got a straight, white guy here. Everybody back away and let him speak! /s
  
  That's racist and uninclusive, hypocrite.
- Snowflake is triggered
- The real Uncle Iron would be disappointed in you.
  
  The real uncle iroh sexually assaulted a paralized girl dumbass
- Snowflake energy
- Who tf said I'm Iroh, goon.
- Found the closet bottom that's ashamed to tell people he like it up the ass.
  
  That's very specific buddy... is there something you want to talk about?
- Lmao you’ve got at least one guy on your side. I didn’t think anyone sane was on this commie shithole of a community
- I downvoted you while at an NHL game.
  👍
  
  You don't have to play sports to know this is a stupid rule. If you weren't a goon you would know that.
