DRAMA!

The gays are asking for political correctness from the NYC fans at Madison Square Garden during hockey games. That would be paramount to a group of AA guys suggesting beer should be eliminated at Flyers games. It ain't ever going to happen.
So should Madison Square eliminate the name "bum" from the fans vocabulary so as not to offend the unemployed or homeless. There are a good number of those in NYC are there not.
Give me a break. What's next? Another "Kiss In" protest in the Garden.
How about a Gay Fan night. Yes, I can just hear it now...
"Oh youhoo...Mr. Averyyyy...I have some water on me, can I have your stick?
Wait a minute! Did they already have one of those nights?
If the gays find the environment too much to bare, then there are plenty of other things to do in NYC for entertainment. They can attend musicals and chant show tunes for example.
These guys are doing the right thing giving up their seats (sure its not the first time), if they can't deal with 20,000 crazed hockey fans and feel intimidated. That means less chance of future protests breaking out in the future over gay rights at sporting events. If Ray Stankes does not want to go to hockey games and is more comfortable, in Queens, then what more needs to be said.

Get over it.

700 level lifer is right on,gays are so funny to watch and man the chant is so much fun to scream,i screamed it at a ton of ranger home games **** LARRY,**** LARRY is a clasic

With all due respect to those that ****...You think MSG is going to have their security boot hundreds of fans for the chant? That won't happen. MSG isn't about to go putting up signs on the scoreboard saying "please stop the gay chants." And in the defense of MSG...they do already have signs posted throughout the game on the Marquee that politely ask fans to mind their tongue and refrain from abusive or impolite remarks. Homosexuals are just going to have to live with the stigmatism that comes with the lifestyle until a number of years pass until it is more broadly accepted.

In the meantime...cry me a river.

It's nice to see that all the above comments only reinforce what these fans are talking about. Typical ignorant American beliefs.

What makes you think those comments are all American?
Who's being ignorant and typical now.

Yeah, I'm sure Canadian hockey fans never shout anything offenseive or obscene at hockey games. Is it cold up there on your pedastool Trite?

Am I mistaken or is hockey a real man's sport? This is ridiculous. Get yer **** back in the closet!

On a note of seriousness, they are making a movie about a hockey player that plays for the Leafs and "plays for the other team". I forget the actors name he is JD's brother on scrubs.

Durk, just the hockey Moms do it in Canada. Honest...LOL

Ha ha, Gay hockey fan seems like an oxymoron. But what do you expect, Hockey is way behind the other sports in dealing with these issues, because I'm pretty sure if you say your gay in Canada, they kick your ass on the spot.

You're right America is the best country in the world. ummm that's what you meant right. If not, Sorry I'm feeling typically ignorant

Hah! Gay story line, did anyone notice the picture choice.

Several of you have said that it's simply unrealistic to prevent hockey fans from being raucous, but would you feel the same way if the epithets were racist, rather than homophobic? If the crowd chanted N-GGER, would that be acceptable?

Amherst- I hear football players call each other that all the time.

Why don't they just tie Larry into his seat?

If he stopped acting like a HO-MO at the games people would stop calling him one.

You can't expect people to see a guy jumping up and down and acting like a HO-MO to just let it slide....
