Coyotes' Dermott uses Pride Tape after NHL's ban
www.espn.com
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Travis Dermott became the first NHL player to use Pride Tape on his stick in defiance of the NHL's ban of its use during warmups and games this season, sporting it on his stick during Saturday night's win over the Anaheim Ducks.

Firstly, respect. Secondly, what exact recourse does the league have if Dermott (or another player) keeps breaking this rule?

    The unilateral ban followed a season in which several players refused to take part in warmups when their teams wore Pride Night jerseys due to their personal or religious objections.

    You’re paid millions of dollars a year, how about you keep your objections to yourself and shut the fuck up.

      I mean, I personally don’t understand their choices, but I also personally dont understand the choice to swear off pork or premarital sex for the sake of religion. At the end of the day though, it is their choice, even if it doesn’t make sense to me, or, in this case, look great on them. As you said, they make millions, why would they care if a few people call them out?

      Edit: changed wording to clarify my point.
