People dress up the decision in religion and say they can’t support “the lifestyle” or “the choice” which is bigoted to begin with, but they’re also effectively lying about what the jersey actually represents. They say everyone is welcome, but refuse to wear the jersey that is meant to be a symbol of everyone being welcome.
It shows you how cheap their words are.

Players have demonstrated that this argument is simply a straw man argument. It is not logical or reasonable to assume someone is hateful because they refuse to wear an article of clothing. In other words someone not making a statement can never be the equivalent of them making another statement.
Your comments are a textbook example of a moral panic.
