Judging Myself So Hard

You can both love the PWHL and criticize it as well. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. The same goes for teams. Just because it’s your team doesn’t mean you blindly support them. It’s important to call out things about the league or your team. That’s the only way for growth and change to happen.

Reminder 2:

Just because a team has a player with bigoted beliefs does not mean that other players or fans share those beliefs. Don’t villainize and ostracize an entire fanbase just because of a decision that they had no control over. Don’t erase the LGBTQ+ fans of Detroit by labeling any fan as a bigot.

Curl is a symptom of bigger issues within hockey culture. Change needs to happen higher up in the league. There’s a reason that she feels comfortable being loud about her beliefs and partnering with a TERF organization. This does not excuse her actions or make her any less of a bigot. It is just important to also recognize the bigger issue.
