Morgan Rielly Takes a Stand Against Gary Bettman and the NHL
Morgan Rielly has expressed his disapproval of Gary Bettman's most recent policy.
NHL Bans Pride Tape
Yesterday, it was revealed that the NHL has banned pride tape which has been quite the controversial move from Gary Bettman.
The Pride Tape company has also released a statement on the controversial decision.
It is clear that the move is not endorsed by the masses and has gotten Bettman into some hot water.
Rielly Speaks Out Against Bettman
Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly has spoken out on the banning of Pride Tape.
«I wish players had the right to do more and be more involved. I'm going to continue to be involved in the community and offer support to those communities and those groups that want that, need that.» - Morgan Rielly
It is clear that Rielly is an ally but as the NHL continues to try to remove politics from hockey, they only seem to get more and more backlash.
Hopefully, for the players, they will get the option to show their support in whichever way they want to eventually but as of now, we will wait and see if the NHL folds and allows the tape.
