The San Jose Sharks are hosting Pride Night at SAP Center Saturday, but their goalie will not be included in the celebration.

James Reimer announced on Twitter he will not wear a pride-themed warmup jersey before the game against the New York Islanders. Reimer cited his religious beliefs.

“For all 13 years of my NHL career, I have been a Christian — not just in title, but in how I choose to live my life daily. I have a personal faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins and, in response, asks me to love everyone and follow him,” he said via the team’s Twitter account. “I have no hate in my heart for anyone, and I have always strived to treat everyone that I encounter with respect and kindness.


“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 added.

  1. That is just fine young man…..but u don’t owe ANYONE an explanation as to why u choose not to wear Film Actors Guild (F.A.G.) regalia which has NOTHING to do with hockey.

    And it’s fine if u are a Christian, but u don’t have to be a Christian to oppose the F.A.G. agenda either.

    Just tell the F.A.G.s to leave u the fu*k alone.

  2. The freak show isn’t going anywhere and everyone knows it. However, nobody should be forced to promote whatever letter someone chooses to call themselves. Good on him for standing up to it.

  3. I own am original Sharks jersey my son bought me years go. I have always been Kings fan but I will also add the Sharks 🦈

    • Support Reiner, not the Sharks. The Sharks franchise is who is organizing the pride night. Do not support them. Support the individual player who is speaking out against it.

  4. Good for you. Stand your ground. Don’t back down to these freaks. They are evil and go against Christians. Keep their sexual preferences to themselves. I don’t give a rat’s ass what they do behind closed doors, but I don’t want to know about it in public or look at it or see it in front of me. We don’t owe you any explanations or reasons for our beliefs or have any reason to bow to yours.

  5. God Bless you. You are a good man. More sports figures and Hollywood elites on our page should come out NOW before it’s all gone 🙏🇺🇸🙏

  6. THE CELEBRATION OF SEXUAL DEVIANCE, PERVERSION AND MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT APPROPRIATE AT ANY HOCKEY GAME!

    STOP THE MADNESS!

  7. The idea about pride about fags or lesbian they have no pride what so ever, mentally ILL people they have no idea what is the word PRIDE mean OR THE FAGS AND LESBIANS MENTALLY ILL understand the insult to US CHRISTIANS when they took the PROMISE OF GOD SYMBEL and Desecrated that symbol.

    These mentally ILL need to be in mentally ILL Institutions

  8. Where do these organizations get the ideal to promote something so unpopular and divisive ?? They run a sports team, leave the controversy behind. When you do this type of thing you’re insulting a large portion of the population. The fans should boycott this team and find another team to spend their money on. These athletes should ban together and sue their employers !

  9. I remember a time when they didn’t allow anything on a uniform! But I guess money persuades because now they endorse anything with a liberal ideology. Go back to wearing a uniform without endorsements and keep all the players and fans happy. Just play sports!

  10. God bless you ! Although he already has ! Thank you for being a voice to the millions of us who feel the same way! Its not easy standing up to be dragged through the mud. But God put you in that place to be a voice. Thank you ♥️

  11. Note just ONE person while the stadium is filled with hypocrite scumbags supporting this bull💩 and both teams included, you are the real problem.

  12. God Bless James Reimer!!
    Well Said!!
    “I have no hate in my heart for anyone, and I have always strived to treat everyone that I encounter with respect and kindness. 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… I strongly believe that every person has value and worth and the LGBTQIA+ community, like all others, should be welcomed in all aspects in the game of Hockey.”

    P.S.: If Jesus played Hockey he’d be a goalie & He’d lead the World in Saves……
