No one should push me to show support for anything, not even for the things I believe in. It's not my employer's place to tell me what social causes to support or what social causes I should be seen supporting.
An employer trying to capitalize on my personal identity - including my social views - is bull####.

It's a ####ing warmup jersey you throw on for 20 minutes. No one is being asked to change their identity.
It's not like work uniforms/attire which exists everywhere and people wear all the time. Are they being denied their own personal identity?
No, they're not.
It's already been established that it's a way to welcome each of those respective communities, as essentially a shout out. Not to signify you're one of them. i.e. Obviously these players aren't Chinese. You know that the only one they have an issue with is pride. Lumping the rest in an argument is just a cover up for the one specific issue. And it's a pathetic one.
