Nobody cares if an individual wearing the jersey believes it in or not, the event isn’t so that players can express their personal beliefs and never was.
There is zero difference between wearing a Pride jersey and wearing a Flames jersey. People would lose their minds if a player refused to wear the team jersey. Well, they wouldn’t, because it would never happen. But if it’s connected to a night welcoming a type of person they don’t like? “My personal beliefs do not allow me to show any support for these kids.” Like, OK man, nobody asked you to make a team jersey about yourself.

I think the only solution is for the Flames to move to the pride jersey full time.
