I think it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out in the NHL. There’s been a trend in recent years of players (especially Russian players) refusing to wear the Pride jerseys for Pride night, and the NHL has mostly let them do it. Hopefully, this influx of new pro-lgbt fans will put pressure on the league to stop canceling the games to accommodate them.
