Each year around this time, the local teams put out their Pride Month post. The Flyers’ version always seems to have the most angry comments:

Hockey is for Everyone. 🫶

Here’s a 2026 sampling of the replies:

• Can’t wait for Hetero Month!
• I miss Ivan (Provorov)
• Where were you last month for Asian/Pacific Islander month?
• Flyers are already a gay team anyway so that checks out for them
• Just play hockey. Hockey already is for everyone. Enough of this bullshit.
• Just stop already
• This month everyone is gay.
• Who cares ? Shoot the puck
• Pro life month. When is that??
• Sex of any kind doesn’t belong being promoted by any sport.
• Jesus is for everyone. Focus on that and the rest works itself out
• Die hard Flyers fan but if they get their own mouth (sic) then can the Flyers do happy straight pride month?
• pride is for an accomplishment. Choosing a partner is not accomplishing anything. It’s not like climbing a mountain.
• None of your players want this. 90%+ of your fans find this disgraceful, yet you continue to push it down our throats. Fuck off.
• Hockey actually isn’t for everyone. It’s very fast paced and violent. My mom, as an example, wasn’t a fan. For some people, it’s just not their thing. You know what? That’s okay.
• Hockey is for everyone…but especially for those who fly rainbow flags. Because being included isn’t enough, their sexuality needs to be celebrated.
• I don’t care what anyone’s sexual preference is. Why do we have to celebrate this for a month?
• If it’s for everyone why does this one specific group always need to get mentioned?
• it is for everyone, but I didn’t know we had to celebrate a guy being attracted to another guy lmao
• Where’s your appreciation post for heterosexuals? Or would that be weird or something?
• Oh god. Here we go. Lol. Triggered folks ready to jump followed by bring back Kate Smith. lol.
• Absolutely disgusting, remove this garbage post immediately
• It’s also Men’s Health Month and PTSD Awareness month…
• Exposing yourselves as the groomers you are
• Tone deaf perverts.
• Happy Men’s mental health awareness month! God bless you guys!
• Adult topics aren’t for children so stop targeting them with mascots and pretty colors. That’s called grooming.
• Fuck you.
• Philly is the gayest place on earth.
• Being the eternal bottoms that you guys are, it’s no surprise that you’d endorse degeneracy, especially since all of the Bullies are dying so you can keep breaking them out to celebrate a championship from 50 years ago.
• Could we get a list of all people in the community that have not been allowed to go to a hockey game or play hockey?
• And this is why you’re sitting home this month
• Snoozing for 30 days
• NHL needs to stay out of politics and sexual preference. Just leave at hockey for everyone.
• i love you gay gritty

So on and so forth.
