Fans Furious After Their Team Cancels Their Warmup Pride Jerseys Last Minute
Another team has joined the group of clubs that have cancelled their pride warmup jerseys. Who would have known the chain reaction Ivan Provorov would have had.
Fans Furious After Minnesota Wild Cancel Pride Jerseys Last Minute
Mike Russo was the first on the case when the Wild opted out of their pride jerseys.
#mnwild players, who were supposed to wear Pride jerseys tonight and did so last season, are not wearing them in warmups.
Told it was an organizational decision
The Wild have several other Pride initiatives they are doing
Unsurprisingly, fans were outraged, considering that this is basically the bare minimum an organization can do for the LGBTQ+ community.
Some homophobic fans equally voiced their support for the Wild's move:
It's disappointing to see yet another team cancel their pride day when hockey should only be working towards getting more inclusive.
The Minnesota Wild have lost some favour with a lot of fans.
