The thing is, the pride tape thing isn't that. It's saying players don't have a choice. And isn't your argument that the pride jersey hold outs should have had their choice?
Also if someone wants to deny the right for someone to exist, I think throwing rocks at them is okay. How do you sit at the table when part of the table denies the right of Queer and Trans people to exist and call us 'groomers'.

I think I was pretty clear of the difference between those who just don't support but are otherwise respectful and tolerant vs those who are actively against.
And don't kid yourself about the pride tape. Even if some players used it, the story would still be about the players who didn't. That's how society is. It would rather throw rocks at the people who don't use the tape vs celebrate the ones that did.
My argument was literally about celebrating the cause while respecting that some people just aren't there yet vs standing around and pointing fingers at everyone who doesn't participate.
It's kinda crazy, but I can already tell I'm going to have to fight to defend my personal stance that I can accept, support and treat equally BOTH sides of the table (while NOT accepting people who actively disrespect and demean, regardless of which side they're on).
