BREAKING: Ron McLean Sparks a Controversy on HNIC
Ron MacLean sparked a controversial discussion with recent statements this week.
MacLean Sparks Controversy
While live on air Ron MacLean spoke about the pride tape ban in the NHL. He spoke in support of the LGBTQ+ community and bashed the NHL for banning the option to use the pride tape.
Hats off to Ron MacLean for openly condemning the NHL for banning pride tape during the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast
Ahead of tonight's home opener @hockeynight's @Ron_MacLean joins @ngelavaliant to chat the NHL banning pride tape
I do believe there is a willingness to revisit the rule. The leaders ought to hear what the 2SLGBTQ+ and allies are saying. In our deepest reflexes and emotions, we feel we are being pushed away by a rule we cannot obey. - Ron MacLean
The comments by MacLean echo the comments of many other prominent figures around the NHL. A few voices spoke out against the pride jerseys last season. Now many more are speaking out against the banning of pride tape.
With all of the public backlash and complaints on the banning of pride tape one has to wonder if Gary Bettman and the NHL will allow the tape or find another compromise.
