If every single player wore the jersey, I suspect that a population of activists would create controversy in another manner. My guess is they would look for players to make verbal statements and find the players who were a little too light on full endorsement. We then wouldn't be talking about jerseys but instead about players not providing "clear and unambiguous" supporting statements to the jerseys. There is no endpoint or goal to this process.

Most of them are probably just focusing on trying to win the hockey game that starts in a half an hour and want to be left alone is my guess.
