I guess we can say it’s brave to be dumb…

Is that the case where they’re saying they’d exclude others from playing the game? I didn’t see that said.
What I don’t get is the pride flag in this case, is a symbol for something. We all agree on that. Whatever that symbol is, is up to ones interpretation. Everyone has bought into Brian Burke’s definition that it’s a symbol for inclusion into the sport but that’s his definition. The pride flag is most synonymous with pride parades. Some may not agree with the stuff that goes on at the parade and may not want to wear the jersey because of that. For military nights, some may not agree with wars in general and may define those nights as glorifying wars though some may say it’s to honour soldiers. For race type events you have some minorities who don’t want them thought of any different aside from people a person (ie: see Morgan Freeman’s quick interview on that for an example). The list goes on and on. People define these symbolic events for however they see fit and may choose to not take part in it. I’d rather that than just giving in and not truly believing in it.
