It's what people in social psychology call modern 'implicit' prejudice: A form of prejudice that surfaces in more subtle ways when it is deemed safe, socially acceptable and easy to rationalize, presented under a cloud/guise of ambiguity (literally out of a textbook).
Aka statements like: I just don't want it around sports ..but I have nothing against it.
Often justified with statements like "It's okay, some of my closest friends are x race/orientation".
If it's not an issue and anybody can present/associate themselves how they like, as these posters claim, then why can't it have a place in sports?
Sports include people of all backgrounds and orientations.
