Three-time ice hockey world champion with the Russian national team Alexei Tereshchenko in a conversation with “” supported the position of the defender “Philadelphia Cream” Ivan Provorov and said he would never participate in LGBT propaganda.
Provorov refused to participate in the warm-up before the game against Anaheim, to which his team showed up in club jerseys with LGBT symbols. The Russian player said it goes against his views and the Orthodox religion.
“Provorov did everything right, I wouldn’t have come out in his place either,” Tereshchenko said. “I will never promote LGBT people. Let me even be fined for it under the terms of the contract. But I have my own moral principles and foundations. There is a mother and a father. There is a man and a woman. There can be nothing else in nature. Otherwise, in the West, a child does not know if he is a boy or a girl? Why are they completely stupid? He doesn’t go through any doors.
– Ivan will have no problems with the team. Indeed, in fact, he ignored the team’s action.
– Will not be. It’s not a game, it’s just propaganda. Now, if all the players decided to go to a team dinner and you didn’t, then that’s disrespectful to the team. And all these promotions… Well, they’re not done by the team. It is a decision of the club from above.
– Yes, but it is possible that some players are in solidarity with Provorov. However, they were afraid of going against the trends of American society. And Ivan stood out from their mass, was not afraid to publicly refuse.
– If you are against, then take your testicles in a fist and go against. If you are a man, you must understand what is what. And if you’re ready to support, then support. I hope that in “Philadelphia” all the same men play, and not rear-wheel drive. I never thought such people would appear in hockey.
