Knowing players are wearing the symbol voluntarily amplifies the message.

So the message is "don't worry, most of the people on the team are okay with you being here".
Why is this viewed any differently than a player refusing to support black history month. If that was the case not a single person here would defend a player not wearing the jersey.
Please explain why this is different? I'm curious how we draw the line in what intolerance is acceptable and what intolerance is unacceptable.
