After promoting weeks in advance that “the Rangers will be showing their support by donning pride-themed warm-up jerseys,” the team reneged on that promise and wore their Reverse Retro Liberty jerseys.
The New York Rangers and Madison Square Garden botched their Pride Night celebration on Friday.
This year, the Rangers made a contribution to the Ali Forney Center, an agency dedicated to LGBTQ+ homeless youths in the U.S. But they declined requests to explain the changes in their Pride Night plans, making Friday feel like a slight to LGBTQ+ fans who support the team."Our organization respects the LGBTQ+ community and we are proud to bring attention to important local community organizations as part of another great Pride Night.
Does pretending to care about an issue really promote change if it’s not coming from a sincere place?If the consensus among any organization and its players is that Pride Night is a meaningful endeavor, then they should proceed with actual pride. But if they’re only doing it for phony PR reasons, then spare us the sham.
