Minor League Hockey Team Blasts Protesting Fans

With all the shit going on in Ohio, pretty soon no one is going to want to visit there, let alone live there. Their governor just signed into law the strictest and most non-sensical anti-abortion law. And their minor league hockey team is cozying up to one of the largest anti-lgbt groups in the country. Protests - peaceful protests - are indeed family friendly as it teaches children that they can protest something which is wrong (something Ohioans clearly don't believe in) and do so without destroying someone's property.

A group of fans in Cincinnati protested their professional hockey team’s partnership with Chick-fil-A on Saturday, holding signs calling the restaurant chain “anti-gay.” The team responded by blasting their peaceful protest as not “family friendly,” reaffirming their partnership, and barring the fans from coming back.

ThinkProgress reported last month that Chick-fil-A’s foundation donated $1.8 million in 2017 to groups that discriminated against LGBTQ people and that the company is one of a small number of major American businesses with a non-discrimination policy that does not protect employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Since then, the company has lost deals to open locations in airports in two different cities and the city council in a third city voted to place rainbow flags and blue, pink, and white transgender flags near the company’s airport spot.
