As much as i want to agree with the man, i just can't support someone who is a communist. Why couldn't he change his communist name to an American name? Religion is important, but let's not forget national security and just how many potential spies are within this nation. The Cold War may have ended, but the land of communism will always be an enemy. It's a shame when we coddle our enemies and grant them so much in access. May i remind yall how the japs, got detailed pictures on the USS Arizona, spies disgused as fellow Americans, disguised as our neighbors. Shame on all of u for caring more about ur religious morals than ur patriotic duty.
He better dig in because they're going to come after him. Up to this point in time anyone with a corporate sponsor has been absolutely pummeled by these people.

@Top G Yea, but he is from the land of communism. How tf do u justify defending the enemy just for ur religious morals. Its ur patriotic duty to always battle the enemy, even if they are disgused as our fellow Americans.

I find it funny how Americans are completely fine with letting citizens from every country regardless of foreign relations into their country and into their schools and hospitals. Back in South korea, the moment u spoke out against the president or the country, or was from towns associated with harboring spies, u and your immediate family would get punished by torture or firing squad.

However he backed his player up by saying he respects his dedication to being true to himself, versus deflecting the question completely and saying “that’s on him” or some bs.

As a gay man myself kudos to him for having the balls to stand up. I wouldn't wear the pride flag either because that community is slowly burying itself deep. And the LGBTQ community needs to learn that the more they push and force the more distance they put between themselves from everyone. You can't be accepted through force. Mad respect.
Good for you. I am straight but would not treat you any different as a human being. You can’t get accepted by forcing things on ppl, you get accepted by acting like a friend, a person that treats other ppl with respect.
Damn I never thought about it this way..a lot of people are pushing for equality so bad that is is distancing themselves even further away. Good point there.
That has been my view on that community for a while. Forcing it into society only creates polarization, not integration. I’m glad you share the same view.
Very unfair to the modest gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc people trying to live life with their preferences in peace. Unfortunately, y'all are being subjected in this group that has earned a negative representation, by default, when it hardly aligns with your morals. The picture now is if you are part of the lgbtq, you are a vocal liberal, impolite, that will condemn you for not believing or accepting the hivemind. Why aren't gay conservatives equally as supported? It seems like we are indoctrinating the up and coming lgbtq to be obnoxious and defensive, creating this culture of 'pride', when many simply want to live a normal, respectful life. Y'all are being forced onto this bandwagon whether you like it or not and that is just wrong.
Cant believe someone had the nerve to still ask him a question about it literally almost right after the guy said please only hocked related questions. The disrespect is unreal he deserved to be called out more than that
Yeah and the question was "Were you concerned about your status for the game after not participating in warmups."... seemed like a hockey question to me. Also, the edit right before that is deliberately made to connect those two moments, one did not occur "right after" the other in reality. Lot of snowflakes very afraid of questions on here, huh?
