I can't watch today but I'd be curious if KBTX says anything about the Nashville Predators' new logo for Pride Night. It's trending on X. Probably not the best idea.
I am probably not up to date on local or national trends. What is going on with this logo? What sport is it?
Is it supposed offensive? Inflammatory? Not aligning with a particular/predominant political viewpoint?
Hockey. Some background - a few years ago, the NHL tried to virtue signal with special "pride" logos, jerseys, and stick tape. Some players objected and would not wear the pride jerseys (religious reasons, etc).
The NHL later reversed itself and banned pride jerseys and stick tape, calling them a distraction, and succeeding in their apparent quest to alienate their entire fan base. They later reversed the stick tape ban, and some players wrap their sticks in rainbow tape for "pride" night.
Not up on the recent Predators logo story, but having the term "predators" associated with the LGBTQ& community is humorous/ironic to some?
