‘Everyone has the right to make a decision for themselves’ – Pittsburgh Pittsburgh defender Kulikov supported Provorov in refusing to participate in LGBT events

Defender”Pittsburgh » Dmitry Kulikov in an interview with “” said that the refusal of the hockey player “philadelphia cream » Ivan Provorov Participating in a team warm-up wearing an LGBT jersey should be considered a personal choice that all players should have.

In January, Provorov refused to participate in the warm-up before the regular season game with Anaheim, which his team entered in club jerseys with LGBT symbols. The Russian defender said it goes against his views and the Orthodox religion. On social networks, many fans sent angry messages to Provorov, after which he closed the possibility of commenting on the posts.

– Now many hockey players refuse to participate in LGBT events. Was there a similar discussion in Anaheim or Pittsburgh? How would you react if your club took part in such an action?

– The topic is being discussed, but I wouldn’t say it’s very active.

This question arose when Philadelphia played with us (in January Kulikov played for Anaheim): Ivan Provorov decided not to go to the warm-up in the rainbow jersey. Then we discussed this issue with the players.

I completely agree with Provorov. Each person has the right to make decisions for themselves. He didn’t come out on the ice then, and other teams started letting players choose for themselves. I don’t know how I would react, but I repeat, everyone should have the right to make decisions personally,” Kulikov told .
