I went full on IPTV after 8 years of Gamecenter.
NHL Gamecenter had so many games restricted that were at a reasonable time cause they were on some other station that you had to pay for again.
Also with their ban of Pridetape now I see no reason to support this operation with my money. It is a disgrace!

Funny, that was what got me interested in watching the NFL this season. Nothing against pride tape but professional sports should NOT be about politics, from either side. That's what I'm supporting.
Being openly gay is not a political statement.
What part of being "openly gay" requires the display of gay pride colors? Colors that are very closely tied to the political movement?
"Flags are political symbols, borrowed from the vocabulary of nationalism, with similar overtones of citizenship, belonging, borders. They represent what the historian Benedict Anderson called “imagined communities”—self-constituted entities, united less by shared experiences than by shared beliefs in shared experiences. " https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2021/06/pride-flag-has-representation-problem/619273/
Even the designer of the flag considers it a political symbol.
"According to Gilbert Baker, the designer who, in 1978, first used a rainbow as a symbol for LGBT causes, “For the past almost 40 years, the rainbow flag has stood as a politically powerful, meaningful, and also aesthetically effective symbol.” https://www.letallplay.org/post/yes-fifa-lgbt-rainbow-is-political
It is not politics if you are inclusive. This is a basic right. Also, the NHL has had the “you can play” program for years but in the end a little pushback means it was just PR crap.
Whatever you think the colors mean, they are a political symbol to others. Displaying political symbols when being paid as part of your job is commonly disallowed and is not limited to rainbow flags.
I'm not. I'll just wait for the playoffs, as the regular season is next to pointless, and the rules all change in the playoffs. So it's pretty much meaningless, other than making the playoffs. If I was an NHL GM, especially a Canadian one, that would be my prime focus. Just do well enough to make it, and find a way to stash a whole bunch of studs on the IR, until just before the playoffs. And be way over cap.
