Absolutely, and I agree it's completely stupid they believe in it. However I wonder if the social consequences of being stupid and taking ignorant views is causing some people to dig in deeper.
Not wearing a pride jersey? OK that's ####ty but not a terrible transgression, especially if other players are allowed to wear the rainbow.
I feel like if someone opted out of wearing a pride jersey, my response would be that he's a jerk and I don't care for him. However the social cost would be significantly higher than what I believe is correct. I don't believe the consequences are always comparable to the severity of action.
