Ivan Provorov puts Woke in the penalty box

NHL defenseman on the Philadelphia flyers Ivan Provorov didn’t participate in pregame warmups when the team wore Pride-themed jerseys and used sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape. He cited his Russian Orthodox religion as the reason why he didn’t participate. He eventually played in the game against the Anaheim Ducks. Reaction has been mixed. Some praise him while others (mainly in media) have scorn him. I just heard that his hockey jersey sold out! What does that say? Hmmm??? Bottom line is, agree or disagree, he has the right to express himself.
