Reply to comment by Corntillas in Ivan Provorov refuses to wear Pride Night-themed warmup jersey Philadelphia Flyers | TSN by abunchofjerks

So you'd like what exactly?

Try to shame everyone who disagrees to switch to your preferred view? Or is it to send a message to everyone else to comply or else you'll go after them next?

How does that help anyone?

Lol, when people were getting arrested for wearing pride flags in Qatar there were dumbasses who were defending the Qatar police by saying that the people should know they are in a different country and to follow their rules and respect their culture. But, now we have the same thing happening here (but without any real penalty) and the same people are saying "well he is from Russia so it's ok"

I’d like him to support his team and do what the team is doing, support gay American fans of his team by doing what his team is doing. His country and other countries under Putin’s control kill and purge gay people. Does it make you feel good to support his belief that gay people should be purged?

Would you support an Iranian American soccer player not playing until every female in the arena is obeying sharia?

You don’t coddle beliefs like that, I don’t care if it makes you feel good to say you support everyone. Go deal with the realities of those political beliefs before you shroud yourself in the pretense that supporting everyone is ok.
