I’m wondering what’s the point of a Pride Night when the players are complicit in anti-queer theatrics. My opinion is that these stunts need to be strongly addressed as soon as they happen.

Edit: I don’t accept your position that the team and the city are an equivalent comparison. At the same time, I feel no need to persuade you otherwise.
