Their fans are making that excuse for him. The russians who have not worn the jersey have not been piled on. Reimer is the only one who got rightfully dragged in the media. The Russians generally get a pass. Putin is not killing families because of them wearing a rainbow jersey. “Family decision” is a nice PR spin because it leaves room for that interpretation, like they are actually in any danger. Bigot family, bigot player.
Edit: poor choice of words.
