Going to have to agree with the rest. That seems unrealistic. Aside from the hypocracy angle having no bearing in reality and pretty stupid, let's say they
did believe it. Unless football players are significantly more prone to feeling of hypocracy and standing against those feelings (true or not) it doesn't explain why they're the only high profile team in Calgary not represented.
There are 46 players on the Stampeders, they couldn't muster one? One player out of 46. The Flames have 4 out of 23. I don't believe that some fantasy about players taking a stand against a (misinformed) perception of hypocracy accounts for the vast difference between representation of all other sports teams and the Stampeders.
It's just sad that no players, especially those front and center in terms of community involvement, could bring themselves to represent the team in this venue.
