But this isn't a case of some quiet objector, he got up on a soapbox and spoke out against it, while trying to word it like he's not speaking out against it. Then a few hours later he doubled down with "I wouldn't support muslims either, and I have a Muslim friend"
I still don't see how calling him out for that is the "Inclusivity Police" demanding compliance.

The NHL/team does not allow him to participate in a number of things (including an important warm-up). So he isn't really permitted to be discrete.
The media then sees a story and rather than focusing on the positives coming from the jersey wearing players they help ignite a controversy where there was none before.
Predictable outrage ensues...everyone gets clicks (including CP), and here we are.
