If this is singling out Pride though, and not extending to every other support/movement, then it's horrendous and I hope the players choose not to tolerate it.

From my understanding of this, it's not 'singling out' Pride or any other of the theme nights. They aren't stopping having any of events, they are specifying how the players engage with them. They aren't stopping selling Pride or Indigenous themed jerseys or tape, players just won't wear/use them during that nights warmup anymore.
