'Trans women are women': NHL runs afoul of reality, gets dragged for pushing woke gender ideology



The National Hockey League is being dragged on Twitter for upholding the patently absurd dogmas of radical leftist gender ideology.

"The NHL is proud to support this past weekend's Team Trans Draft Tournament in Middleton, Wisconsin. This was the first tournament comprised entirely of transgender and nonbinary players, with around 80 folks participating! #HockeyIsForEveryone #NHLPride," the NHL tweeted on Tuesday.

Someone responded to the NHL's tweet by writing, "So, men playing on womans team?"

The NHL replied by claiming, "Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is real."

Transgender women are biological men who identify as women, while transgender men are biological women who identify as men.

"Amazing to watch sports leagues that rely on extraordinary performance by biological men (as well as the viewership of disproportionately male audiences) parrot the idiotic anti-biological garbage of the woke coterie," tweeted conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, the editor emeritus of the Daily Wire. "If this is true, why aren't there any trans men in the NHL? They're real men, after all. Must be terrible and vicious discrimination," he added.

"The NHL becomes the latest organization to totally debase itself for the sake of pandering to people who aren't their customers and never will be," conservative commentator Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire tweeted.

"If 'trans women are women,' shouldn't the NHL completely support eliminating the sport being divided by men and women? If there's no biological difference (lol), then only have hockey. No men's hockey. No women's hockey. Just hockey. How will that work out? Oh, yes, just men," tweeted David Hookstead of OutKick.

"Would you like some non-sensical horse puckey with your professional ice sport? NHL was getting ratioed for its denial of reality so it is no longer allowing responses," the Federalist editor in chief Mollie Hemingway tweeted.

NHL owner says team is losing fans over Black Lives Matter support



The owner of the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League said his team has lost season ticket holders because of its support for Black Lives Matter, the Dallas Morning News reported.

The Stars did not play their scheduled Friday night playoff game against the Colorado Avalanche, instead moving it to Sunday in participation with the protests occurring across professional sports over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

From DMN:

The Stars have lost customers over their support of Black Lives Matter and protests over racial inequality, president and CEO Brad Alberts said Friday afternoon.

"But we/I stand by our organization's commitment and support our players 100% to express their views," Alberts said.

When asked which customers the team has lost, Alberts said season-ticket holders, and that it was a mix of individual and company accounts. He did not disclose specific names. Alberts said no advertisers have pulled funding.

The NHL supported postponing games to protest the Blake shooting and issued a statement that also mentioned the police killings of Breonna Taylor in Louisville and George Floyd in Minneapolis.

"Black and Brown communities continue to face real, painful experiences," a Thursday NHL statement said. "The NHL and NHLPA recognize that much work remains to be done before we can play an appropriate role in a discussion centered on diversity, inclusion and social justice. We understand that the tragedies involving Jacob Blake, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others require us to recognize this moment. We pledge to work to use our sport to influence positive change in society."

The postponement of professional sports began last week when the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks surprised everyone by refusing to take the court at the last minute before a Wednesday playoff game against the Orlando Magic. Despite being blindsided by the protest, all the other NBA teams postponed their games as well.

The NHL was criticized for taking a little more time to join in with the stoppage of games, although the league didn't play any games Thursday or Friday. Friday, one player refused to answer any questions about hockey, instead choosing to focus on social justice issues.

"I think today, for the most part, especially yesterday and today, we want to make sure we keep the attention and conversations around the issue," Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Braydon Coburn said. "I think that's where our heads are at right now."
