If they allow rainbow flags for expression, they should probably also allow political and commercial expression as well.
I just don’t understand where you’re going with this. How is a rainbow, an expression of support for a range of identities of people, equally unacceptable in a sports environment as a literal “Vote [name] for President!” sticker or a political party flag?
It just feels like you’re viewing the existence of certain people as “political.”
I also said players shouldn’t have symbols of other things as well. I named politics and companies, but the same fits for religions, philosophies, etc.
If you’re playing a professional sport, acting in a play, etc, you should wear your uniform or costume, and then focus on the performance. If it’s not related to the game, players shouldn’t do it during the game.
I’m completely fine with players wearing rainbow flags or wherever during interviews and other appearances, that’s completely fine. I just think the game should be all about the game, not about individual players’ beliefs.
