Quite a contrast to the lack of support for LGBT youth and athletes exhibited by NFL players, whose league refused to allow Focus Features to use NFL game footage on a TV set in the background of a Thanksgiving Day scene in Brokeback Mountain. Canadian Football League footage was used instead.
From the YouTube video notes:
You Can Play is supported by athletes of all levels and fans in the fight for respect in sports.
In this video: Patrick Burke (Philadelphia), Brian Burke (Toronto), Rick Nash (Columbus), Duncan Keith (Chicago), Brian Boyle (New York), Matt Moulson (New York Islanders), Joffrey Lupul (Toronto), Claude Giroux (Philadelphia), Daniel Alfredsson (Ottawa), Scott Hartnell (Philadelphia), Corey Perry (Anaheim), Andy Greene (New Jersey), Dion Phaneuf (Toronto), Henrik Lundqvist (New York).
