Ivan Provorov sent shockwaves through the NHL last night when he refused to take warmups in the Philadelphia Flyers pride jerseys.

The Flyers released a statement following the events:
The Philadelphia Flyers organization is committed to inclusivity and is proud to support the LGBTQ+ community. Many of our players are active in their support of local LGBTQ+ organizations, and we were proud to host our annual Pride Night again this year. The Flyers will continue to be strong advocates for inclusivity and the LGBTQ+ community.

In an interview after, Provorov explained his decision:
I respect everybody and I respect everybody's choices. My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion.

Then, head coach John Tortorella came to his defense:
This is in harsh contradiction to the punishment Tortorella gave players who kneeled during the national anthem a few years ago.
No matter where you stand on this debate, it is an unequivocal disaster for the Philadelphia Flyers.
