Sean Avery
When New York Rangers forward Sean Avery agreed to make a video statement in favor of New York marriage equality the last people in the world we expected to stand against him was Uptown Sports a Canadian hockey management agency.
In a tweet against Avery's statement, Uptown Sports vice president Todd Reynolds said, "Very sad to read Sean Avery's misguided support of same-gender 'marriage.' Legal or not, it will always be wrong. To clarify. This is not hatred or bigotry towards gays. It is not intolerance in any way shape or form. I believe we are all equal... But I believe in the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. This is my personal viewpoint. I Do not hate anyone."
Reynolds later went on Cybulski & Company on Tsn Radio 105 to stand behind his statements:
"There's certainly a voice for the other side on this particular issue.
