Mack Stryker, a 24-year-old Blue Jackets fan who lives in Columbus, was one of many who turned to Twitter on Tuesday to express their displeasure. Stryker, who identifies as nonbinary and as a lesbian, told The Dispatch they’re gauging how much to support the team after this.
The Blue Jackets announced Tuesday they had acquired Provorov in a three-way trade with the Flyers and Los Angeles Kings.Columbus Blue Jackets add Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov in three-way tradeProvorov didn't participate in warmups on Jan. 17 because the rest of the Flyers wore special Pride Night jerseys and used rainbow-colored stick tape to support the LGBTQ+ community before a game.
In response to Kekalainen’s comment, Boyer said, “No one is being ‘canceled’ when their values are in opposition to an employer standing in solidarity with a marginalized community; that’s called sticking to your values as an organization.”“Pride nights and other events that celebrate LGBTQ+ folks are more than a moment of celebration – if it’s done with the right intent, you are saying you stand with us, but this solidarity needs follow through and actions that match,” Boyer said.
