The NHL Network’s E.J. Hradek tells the Philadelphia Flyers’ Ivan Provorov to go back where he came from because he chose not to participate in a warm-up for an LGBTQ event wearing a rainbow jersey, citing his Russian Orthodox faith. So much for religious liberty on the left.

NHL analyst says on the NHL Network! that if Philly Flyers Provorov doesn’t want to wear a pro-LBGTQ uniform he should leave America, go back to Russia, and fight in the war against Ukraine. The tolerant left! Holy shit: pic.twitter.com/wWLFBy2stC

This sounds a lot more tolerant.

“I respect everybody and I respect everybody’s choices. My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.”
