'You love them, but you can’t support the activity or lifestyle,” said San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer about his refusal to wear a Pride-themed jersey.
But the evening was marred earlier in the day when Sharks goalie James Reimer announced viathat he would not be taking part in the festivities and refused to wear the Pride-themed warmup jersey.
“In this specific instance, I am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions which are based on the Bible, the highest authority in my life,” Reimer wrote in his statement, which was shared by the Sharks. “I strongly believe that every person has value and worth, and the LGBTQIA+ community, like all others, should be welcomed in all aspects of the game of hockey,” Reimer continued, a sentence completely at odds with his decision., which noted that while the Sharks’ stance is to support LGBTQIA+ rights, they “also acknowledge and accept the rights of individuals to express themselves, including how or whether they choose to express their beliefs, regardless of the cause or topic.
