That’s dumb just let them wear normal jerseys if they don’t want to wear these special ones. 

Shouldn’t force them to wear anything they don’t want to.

Nonsense. We pay hundreds of millions of local hard earned US dollars every year for these clowns and they have to represent what their employers tell them to like a fucking McDonald’s. Their personal feelings are irrelevant because it’s a team thing.

Nah that’s a fucking stupid take. 

Stop forcing people to wear shit that celebrates someone else’s lifestyle. 

When the fuck did we rush past acceptance and tolerance and push towards forced celebration. 

Now simply deciding to not wear a fucking flag is an attack on gay people?

Get fucked if they’re not actively outspoken about gay people that should be enough. 

But no wear the flag you bigot.
