I’m really mad I learned Provorov is a homophobe after I got his jersey. The NHL is spineless
I am not a sports person (other than the occasional soccer match), but aren’t all of them (nhl, nfl, nba, mlb) spineless?
MLB has been pretty good LGBT support wise and the NBA is pretty good too minus some of their China hand waving. At the end of the day they’re all corporate and thus amoral but I still think there’s a spectrum in terms of actions, even if the motive is financial.

Most of the players are black, so they don't expect them not to comment on BLM or to all stand for the national anthem. They have had some problems with players being anti-Semitic, they have punished them enough to get them to keep their mouth shut.
Wear it with rainbow spandex tights.
Sell it. It'll lose them a sale, and you won't need to keep it.
Unfortunately he got traded so I don’t think anyone wants it. I’ll wait for someone to take his old number and do a nameplate change, I’ve seen pretty decent replacement ones from China.
