This is the answer. Calling people names and bullying them into wearing a jersey is precisely the opposite way to convince people of anything. It takes the jersey from being a contentious issue where you dont know if a player is wearing it simply out of fear of being attacked and turns it into a truly positive symbol for those who
choose to wear it.
Knowing players are wearing the symbol voluntarily amplifies the message.
