Fox News host Carlson called Provorov a hero who refused a rally in support of LGBT
Fox News TV presenter Tucker Carlson called the hero of the Russian defender of the Philadelphia Flyers Ivan Provorov, who refused to take part in a rally in support of the LGBT community. His words are quoted by the Flexible YouTube channel.
“The saddest thing is that it took a foreigner. Hockey is full of Americans, but to imagine that one of them would even hint at such a thing is simply unthinkable! added the reviewer.
On January 18, the leadership of the National Hockey League stated that players have the right to decide which promotions to participate in. “We continue to encourage player perspectives on social and cultural issues,” they said.
Earlier, on January 18, it became known that Provorov refused to go to the reel before the NHL regular season match with the Anaheim Ducks because of the use of uniforms with LGBT symbols on it. The athlete explained that he respects the choice of everyone, but prefers to remain true to himself and his religion.
After that, Canadian TSN journalist Gord Miller called for the Russian hockey player to be punished. He considered that freedom of speech does not exempt from consequences.
