Eric and Marc Staal say no to Pride jerseys
TSN: Eric and Marc Staal skip warmups and wouldn’t wear the Panthers Pride jerseys. Statement from the brothers.
“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.
Eric and Marc Staal”
