Sorry about that. Didn't mean for it read like I was jumping down your thought.
More just like laying it all out there and sharing my perspective. I also generally have an issue with corporate washed pride. It just like hits me close because like I have trouble with how much I enjoy hockey and hate the wider culture. But that's a me thing.
But please know my intended tone wasn't confrontational! I do think as I outlined there is a direct line. Stuff like this is both a nothingburger, but also it's not always a nothingburger.
I do agree though that online many folks like jump on stuff like this as a holier than thou cudgel to make themselves feel better. Which I think it's too bad because than it can cover up the actual negative downstream impacts.
