Should sports players refuse to wear Pride jerseys?
Should the Manly NRL players who have refused to wear Pride jerseys face punishment or be praised for their stance?
It seems like a hot mess all round.
The players have refused to wear the jumpers on religious grounds, which I could grudgingly accept, but they also wear insignias depicting gambling and alcohol promotion, pretty sure they get a bad rap in whatever good book you are taking your religious cues from.
Management has admitted it was handled badly and there have been a lot of apologies handed around.
Religion is full of people who pick and choose what suits them. Is this one of those occasions?

The comment by RonJon is a sad commentary on the bigotry, hate, and discrimination against those who have a genuine belief in God. He gives the impression that it is against the law to do so and that his view is the only one that matters. The bottom line is that far from making his case, he is encouraging people to reject his bigotry and hate.
