NHL Cancels Pride Night, Media Mad · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  So it looks like the bud light effect not going to be denied. Here's
• 0:04
  a headline, NHL says no more specialty sweaters during warmups after Pride celebration backlash.
• 0:11
  It's become a distraction, and the media and many public figures are very
• 0:16
  keen on portraying this as anti LGBTQ, pussl whatever, which is an accusation
• 0:23
  that's meant to bludgeon people into submission. I think that you and I both
• 0:28
  know this has nothing to do with lgb and nobody really cared about Pride before
• 0:34
  except maybe to make fun of the obvious cynical opportunism from corporations, and you
• 0:41
  know, maybe just amusement over the fact that it had become so absurdly oversaturated,
• 0:47
  seemingly beyond all need, and maybe also the fact that the Pride parades
• 0:52
  had turned into really just kink parades at some point. But the backlash,
• 0:56
  the backlash is not about lesbian's gaze by p people, although why do you
• 1:00
  think that bisexuals are ninety nine percent college girls on spring break and then only
• 1:07
  for like, yeah, maybe an hour. But the backlash is really about
• 1:11
  the radical gender theory that's being pushed on kids. Now it's in schools.
• 1:15
  It's K through twelve, I mean as young as kindergarten. Now, just
• 1:19
  this weird pseudoscience with no basis in reality that just seems guaranteed to confuse children,
• 1:26
  including children that are so young that they can't possibly understand these concepts anyway.
• 1:32
  You know, it's stuff like Drag Queen Story Hour. You know,
• 1:34
  particularly parents are noticing this and saying, well, I don't like that.
• 1:38
  And if you're going to insist that's what the rainbow means, now, well
• 1:42
  then I'm going to reject that. And I also reject you saying that I'm
• 1:46
  a foe, but because I don't think children can consent to things like puberty
• 1:51
  blockers or cross sex hormones, certainly not surgical interventions. So that is what
• 1:57
  the backlash is against. And it's the left, the far left itself,
• 2:01
  which has tied all of that to LGB and said this is what the community
• 2:07
  quote unquote supports, as if there is a community, as if there's a
• 2:13
  gaytown with the mayor of gaytown and the mayor of gaytown's press secretary. Now
• 2:19
  there's individuals and they don't all agree on everything. But anyway, back to
• 2:23
  where we started. It looks like what we can call the bud Light effect
• 2:29
  is still happening. Don't forget bud Light has lost billions of dollars. Target
• 2:32
  now has lost billions of dollars. Looks like the NHLs looking at this and
• 2:37
  saying that's not the kind of trouble we want. One professional sports league is
• 2:40
  taking a step to stop politics from distracting from the game. NHL Commissioner Gary
• 2:46
  Bettman said Thursday the teams will no longer wear specialty sweaters during warmups, such
• 2:53
  as those worn in celebration of LGBTQ Pride, because quote, it's become a
• 2:59
  distraction. Multiple players refused to don the sweaters celebrating the LGBTQ agenda during the
• 3:06
  season, with some citing their Christian beliefs and others fearing backlash from their home
• 3:12
  country of Russia. And I can't help but thinking that maybe sports should just
• 3:15
  be sports. Maybe there shouldn't be I mean, the pride thing is now
• 3:19
  political. I mean, the Liberal Party in Canada might as well call itself
• 3:23
  the Pride Party. I mean, I'm surprised Justin Trudeau doesn't walk around everywhere
• 3:27
  in a rainbow suit. With a Pride flag sticking out of his ass,
• 3:30
  and give me another five years and the maple leaf will be replaced by a
• 3:34
  dildo. Here's what Bettman said in an interview with Sportsnet. Quote, I've
• 3:38
  suggested it would be appropriate for clubs not to change their jerseys in warm ups
• 3:43
  because it's become a distraction and taking away from the fact that all of our
• 3:46
  clubs, in some form or another, host nights in honor of various groups
• 3:52
  or causes, and we'd rather them continue to get the appropriate attention that they
• 3:55
  deserve and not be a distraction. So he's not saying any thing specifically about
• 4:00
  the rainbow jerseys, but it's pretty obvious what's happening here, and it's not
• 4:05
  like their outright banning anything explicitly here. The Board of Governors reportedly agreed with
• 4:12
  Bettman putting a stop to teams wearing these specialty sweaters, but the Commissioner said
• 4:16
  teams can still host politically focused specialty nights such as Pride Night, Black History
• 4:23
  Night, and Military Appreciation Night. Teams can also continue to make specialty sweaters
• 4:29
  for various causes and charities and sell them to the fans. Quote. It's
• 4:32
  really just the question of what's on the ice, but not all honesty.
• 4:38
  I think they're better off just getting rid of everything. Just make it about
• 4:41
  sports, in this case hockey. I mean, who really wants anything that
• 4:46
  has any kind of political flavor at all when they go to a hockey game,
• 4:49
  or football game or a baseball game. And make no mistake, Pride
• 4:54
  is political now. The second that self appointed leaders started pushing far left gender
• 5:00
  theory into schools, it became political and even elected leaders like Justin Trudeau made
• 5:05
  it political, says. Seven players refused to take part in Pride Night celebrations,
• 5:12
  an event hosted by all thirty two NHL teams over the course of the
• 5:15
  season. Brothers and Florida Panthers teammates Eric and Mark Stall joined the San Jose
• 5:21
  Sharks goalie James Rymer and Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov for refusing to wear the
• 5:29
  Pride sweaters because of their Christian faith. The Russian players Ilya Lubushkin, at,
• 5:34
  Dennis Gurianov of the Montreal Canadians and Andre Kuzmenko of the Vancouver Canucks also
• 5:41
  said they would not wear the sweaters. According to ESPN, and they have
• 5:44
  every right to not do that. And then, of course that caused a
• 5:47
  big fuss in the media because the media can't handle anybody disagreeing with them on
• 5:51
  anything. And again, maybe the nhlges better off not being a part of
• 5:57
  any of this stuff. Just play the game now. Of course, activists
• 6:01
  and activists journalists especially are going to freak out over this and accuse everybody of
• 6:06
  being a bigot, But ultimately they're a fringe group. They're a fringe group
• 6:12
  within hockey fans. Most of them aren't even hockey fans. So I still
• 6:15
  think that the NHL is just better off steer and clear. Any sports organization,
• 6:19
  steer clear of anything that's going to piss off the fans. So will
• 6:24
  we see more of this? I think that we will. The second that
• 6:29
  the focus became on kids and pushing radical gender theory on children, I think
• 6:33
  this was inevitable. It's just too much. And to be honest, I
• 6:38
  mean, the levels of saturation of this stuff had gotten so extreme already,
• 6:42
  so hilariously over the top already that at some point people were bound to just
• 6:46
  get turned off by it anyway. But that's all I'm want to say about
• 6:50
  that. Please subscribe, like and share sharing really helps me out. I
• 6:53
  thank you for that. I will see you next time.
