from George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
Florida Panthers veterans Eric and Marc Staal did not come out for warmups with their team on Thursday night in protest of the team’s Pride Night.
The two brothers cited religious differences in making their decision....
In a joint statement, the Staal brothers said they “carry no judgement” on “how people live their lives.”
From the statement: “After many thoughts, prayers and discussions we have chosen not to wear a pride jersey tonight.
“We carry no judgement on how people choose to live their lives, and believe that all people should be welcome in all aspects of the game of hockey.
“Having said that, we feel that by us wearing a pride jersey it goes against our Christian beliefs.
“We hope you can respect this statement, we will not be speaking any further on this matter and would like to continue to focus on the game and helping the Florida Panthers win the Stanley Cup.

Also a big FU to people who blame their BS on Jesus.
The Bible explicitly condones murder and slavery in places. Is that part of their faith too I wonder?
The Bible can be and has been used to justify any number of terrible things.
Sure looks like picking and choosing to me.
At least they had thoughts and prayers.
So its not Putin's fault?
Good on em! Stand tall Guys.
Consistency remains the hobgoblin of little minds....
What does that even mean
