Someone can believe gay players should be welcomed to play hockey and attend hockey games and be a fan of the game...while still being uncomfortable or unwanting to wear pride gear due to their interpretation of what wearing the jersey symbolizes to them.
Even lumping all the NHL players who choose not to wear it into the same group is unreasonable, because you only know the reason for some specific players like staals and Reimer.

Is this a joke? You suggest the symbolism behind the pride flag is determined by the bigots and homophobes who don't believe all people are equal?
You probably believe people who say they fly the Confederate flag as a sign of southern pride, and completely deny it's meant to signify racism.
Your arguments are the same #### people said about the civil rights movement, universal suffrage etc. It's an attempt to turn the bigots into victims and tacitly support their bigotry.
