The NHL may have banned Pride-themed warm-up jerseys, but that did not stop the Seattle Kraken from releasing their own transgender jersey this week.

One of the newest NHL franchises, the Kraken jumped out of the gate with wokeness in 2021 by naming their home rink Climate Pledge Arena, as a "rallying call" for companies and organizations to "commit to net-zero carbon by 2040, a decade ahead of the Paris Agreement."

'I hope that people can, like, see the logo and, like, feel some trans joy and queer joy, too!'

The NHL struggled with backlash over Pride Night jerseys in 2023, with select Russian and Canadian players refusing to wear the sexuality-themed attire. The league eventually banned all themed warm-up jerseys, but launched a Player Inclusion Coalition just a week later.

With the league being no stranger to leftist ideology, the Kraken have found a work-around for 2026 despite gender- and sex-based events seeing significantly less support in the United States. The team released a transgender unicorn jersey this week, announcing they would auction off the bizarre design online for their Pride Night.

The team included transgender and gay Pride flags on their post announcing the jersey, and the artist who designed the unicorn clarified the transgender inspiration.

Tattoo artist Vegas Vecchio was profiled by the hockey organization and, after immediately announcing her "they/them pronouns," rattled off strange rantings about being "exposed" to "queerness."

"Being able to be in Seattle surrounded by the queer community and being exposed to the queerness I never got to experience growing up, it inspires my work a lot," she explained.

"I ended up doing the unicorn; it seems like such a classic queer symbol," she continued. "And I was like, 'If anyone is going to do a unicorn, it's going to be me.' I hope that people can, like, see the logo and, like, feel some trans joy and queer joy, too!"

The artist also noted that people would describe her artwork as "very gay."

Fans revolted in the comments on the Kraken's post on X, with several asking if the jersey was actually meant as a joke.

"Hardcore stupidity. Are you going to start doing straight jerseys also?" another X user wrote.

"That's not a Kraken. No matter how it identifies," another fan joked about the logo.

Alongside dozens of less-than-safe-for-work memes, one fan called the jerseys a "humiliation ritual" for the players. However, Kraken players did not seem bothered by the design.

Canadian players Ryan Winterton, Brandon Montour, and Tye Kartye all went along with the controversial photo shoot, while German goalie Philipp Grubauer made a public statement on the topic at the same time.

"It's so important to create a safe and inclusive space within the hockey community," he said in a team post. "As a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community, I'll continue to stand by your side."

A young Iranian law student protesting in the streets of Tehran and speaking from inside the capital says life under the Islamic Republic has become “unbearable,” fueling nationwide protests she calls “the final battle,” as she expressed hope President Trump will “keep his promise” and the West will “arm the youth” or strike the regime’s forces before an “unprecedented threat” of exported extremism and a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic “destabilizes the world.”

A North Carolina mother was arrested for negligence almost a month after her toddler boy was found submerged in a container of water on a home's front porch and later died, the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies responded to a 911 call about a missing child in the 200 block of Old Timber Road in Jacksonville around 4:30 p.m. Dec. 11, officials said.

'Don’t have kids if you’re not diligent about the care and protection you provide them! You are responsible for their lives! Literally!'

Shortly after deputies arrived at the home, they found a 16-month-old boy unconscious and submerged in water inside a container on the front porch of the home, officials said.

Deputies and emergency medical services personnel immediately initiated lifesaving measures, officials said, adding that the boy was taken to Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune, where he later was pronounced dead.

An investigation determined that negligence on the part of the child's mother was a contributing factor in his death, officials said.

Elizabeth Marie Holderness, 30, turned herself in Monday to the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office, officials said.

The sheriff's office said Holderness has been charged with felony involuntary manslaughter, felony negligent child abuse - serious bodily injury, and six misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

Investigators determined that Holderness showed reckless disregard for human life, WCTI-TV reported, citing arrest warrants.

The warrants allege Holderness willfully ingested an illegal substance in a separate room for an extended period of time while the child was in her care, the station added.

She received a $75,000 unsecured bond after her first court appearance Monday in Onslow County District Court, WCTI said, adding that Holderness bonded out later Monday afternoon.

While a number of commenters posting under the sheriff's office Facebook entry about the incident claim to know Holderness and caution against judgment, others didn't feel that way:

• "Maybe you shouldn’t do drugs," one commenter said. "If you’re defending these actions, do better."
• "Everyone making excuses. This boy was 16 months [old]. Those children are never to be left unattended. Period," another user declared, adding that "the mother got negligence for a reason."
• "Makes me sick! Don’t have kids if you’re not diligent about the care and protection you provide them! You are responsible for their lives! Literally!" another commenter wrote.

Venezuelan husband, wife reportedly attempt to ram federal immigration agents during targeted enforcement operation

Jim Irsay was the owner of the Indianapolis Colts before he passed away. Now, his daughter Carlie Irsay-Gordon is the team’s new owner — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t thrilled with the attention her presence has been drawing.

“She magically appears as the team’s owner and standing on the sideline. And she is what I’m calling an example of the equalizers and this whole feminist movement we have going on in the National Football League,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock comments.

“America, beyond question — American culture, American society — the feminist movement has overtaken everything. And that’s why we have women like Carlie Irsay-Gordon pretending to be some sort of football savant and standing on the sidelines with headsets on and listening to the coaches,” he continues.

“If women can overtake the NFL, that should be a message to you that they can overtake, and they are overtaking, all of American society,” he adds.

And when Irsay-Gordon spoke about the end of their season during a press conference, Whitlock points out that she’s literally reading off a script.

“She’s looking down every fourth word at notes in front of her. She’s reading a script. She’s pretending to be a male leader by reading a script. This is all scripted and intentional,” Whitlock says.

“In 2022, NFL owners put out a statement saying that diversity in ownership was an important goal for the NFL. And so, they’ve been ushering in all of this female leadership into the National Football League,” he explains.

“Anything that’s diverse, anything that promotes something that’s not male, patriarchal, and white, that’s all good. ... Anything that disrupts tradition, anything that disrupts biblical patriarchy, anything that disrupts male authority and leadership, it’s all good. It’s a positive. It’s a sign of progress,” he continues.

While Irsay-Gordon isn’t the first daughter of an owner to inherit an NFL team, Whitlock points out that it’s not the fact that she inherited the team, but the hyperfocus on her while the Colts were off to an 8-2 start.

“She was the hottest thing in the NFL — ‘She’s holding the coaches accountable, she’s on the sidelines during the games, she’s on headsets, let’s do stories about it,’” Whitlock mocks.

“This is the future of the NFL,” he adds.
