Citing his Christian faith, San Jose Sharks player James Reimer refuses to wear Pride-themed jersey, boycotts pregame warmup
Citing his Christian faith, San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer said he chose not to wear a pregame warmup jersey in support of the LGBTQIA+ community on Saturday, as part of the team's weeklong "Pride Night" festivities.
"I have no hate in my heart for anyone, and I have always strived to treat everyone that I encounter with respect and kindness. Sharks players wore the Pride-themed jerseys designed by San Jose artist Houyee Chow, who describes herself on her Instagram account as a queer artist and educator. "As an organization, we will not waver in our support of the LGBTQIA+ community and continue to encourage others to engage in active allyship."The 35-year-old Reimer, who is in his second season with San Jose and will be a free agent after the season, was asked by a reporter prior to the game if he is concerned that his social stance may prevent another team from signing him in the offseason.
