Retired Canadian hockey star Theo Fleury slammed the National Hockey League (NHL) Wednesday on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” for politicizing the sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Calgary Flames player reacted to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Vice President Kim Davis calling for more diversity and people of color<\/a> in the game and a tweet from the league’s official Twitter account saying “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is real.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Were race politics a big part of hockey when you were playing?” host Tucker Carlson asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“No. God no,” Fleury responded. “You know, I think the reason why we all gravitated toward hockey was first and foremost it was fun. Then secondly, you know, there was no politics involved<\/a>. You know, we played this sport because we absolutely loved it.”<\/p>\n

“For me personally, it was an escape from what was going on in my home life at that time. You know, I fell head over heels in love with the sport<\/a>. You know, I was really good at it obviously and pursued a career in this amazing game that we play,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Host Tucker Carlson questioned why only a handful of athletes speak out about the politicization of sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think [it\u2019s] really because we\u2019re so divided, Tucker. Deep down hockey players are, you know, guys who are compassionate and empathetic; it\u2019s just something we don\u2019t want to get involved in. It\u2019s an argument that we can\u2019t win, you know,” Fleury explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 1989 Stanley Cup winner said it doesn’t matter who plays the sport as long as players love the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It doesn\u2019t matter to us who plays the sport, whether you\u2019re transgender, gay or whatever. The reason why we play the game, and the reason why the game is so amazing and so great, is it\u2019s for everybody.<\/a> Right? And the reason why we play the game is it\u2019s an escape from what\u2019s going on in our lives,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately politics has no place in any sport, whether that\u2019s football, basketball, hockey, [or] baseball. Politics should never be a part of any kind of sport whatsoever.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
