San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer opened up about his decision to skip wearing a Pride-themed jersey for a game earlier this month.
goalie James Reimer defended his decision to forgo wearing a Pride-themed jersey and miss warmups completely before a game earlier this month.
"I think I would just refer back to my statement on that one. My beliefs in Christ, what I think the Bible says on that stuff. But people, regardless of their orientation or their activity or whatnot, they have value and worth, I would do my best to love them, the best way I know how," he said."I don’t think there’s a limit per se. And it might be, I don’t know if it’s hard for people to understand or whatnot.
"But what I said, especially the last statement, everyone has value and worth. I’ll tell you, I wish people knew that wasn’t just a line I said. I have a heart for people. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in the past, what you do, and whatnot. I don’t want to keep [referring to my statement] over and over again, right? But obviously, I have my beliefs and things that I can’t personally endorse. But man, you love the person, you try and do whatever you can to get to know them or whatnot.
"For all 13 years of my NHL career, I have been a Christian — not just in title, but in how I choose to live my life daily. I have a personal faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins and, in response, asks me to love everyone and follow him," he said in a statement through the Sharks."I have no hate in my heart for anyone, and I have always strived to treat everyone that I encounter with respect and kindness.
