I think the teams should have consulted their players before proceeding with what is turning into a fiasco.As far as the Military goes, They are known as defense forces. would a pacifist just let themselves be taken over by an attacking enemy? Not sure about that. I don't think its so much about not accepting LQBTQ fans. The Russia issue is real. A lot of these guys live in Russia in the offseason. Can you imagine if a player was killed or arrested because he wore a rainbow shirt. This is Russia were talking about. Putin is insane. Its a delicate balance between showing the LQBTQ community you care and value their business and the welfare of your Russian players and their families. I think the they would have the same issues if they had players from certain Muslim countries where they throw gay people off rooftops.
If we live in a diversified society, then we have to be prepared to accept that different people will most likely have different views on the same issue. Of course the wokies/virtue signallers/sjw/lefties will always try to force their views on everybody else.
BTW: "LGBTQ2S+ meaning is an acronym that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and two-spirit1234. The plus (+) sign denotes other sexual orientations and gender identities2. Two-spirit is a term that originated from Native American culture that describes people who have both a male and female spirit within them1."
