  1. Outside the gay community in Canada I don’t think anyone knows there is a “LGBQRST…” Ambassador on an NHL team. I’ll bet every Maple Leaf player thinks he’s the Ambassador cause they’re sure playing like a bunch of pussies right now. Ok, sorry.

  2. Play your game and shut the fuck up. All the fans care about in any sport is the score of the game and the standings. We watch professional sports for a diversion; it’s just entertainment and we don’t need progressive politics infused into our escapism.

    Learn from the NFL. The more political and “socially responsible” the NFL becomes, the more viewers and fans it loses. Even the NFL’s premier event, the Superbowl, took a hit because the ads were overtly political. We like the competition, Team A vs. Team B, and the social justice thing is just a distraction no sports fan needs or wants.
