Hurricanes criticized for rainbow logo on Facebook

The Carolina Hurricanes are being criticized on Facebook for changing their logo temporarily to a rainbow-colored one.

The Hurricanes host the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night at the PNC Center. The game begins the Hurricanes’ “Hockey is for Everyone” campaign created by the NHL to “celebrate diversity and inclusion in hockey.”

After the Hurricanes changed the logo on their Facebook page on Thursday, the team was criticized in Facebook comments for becoming too political. Most of the criticism centered on why a diversity campaign is needed and the attention it brings.
