This is quite repulsing
Kudos for Gray Nicolls but I've really seen this 'Sports shouldn't be mixed with politics' argument a lot and here's the thing
THIS. ISN'T. POLITICS. Not imo. Every person has a right to play a sport and get to whatever level their talents take them. This isn't about giving some people more attention/opportunities than others. It's about giving those opportunities to people who have been DENIED them due to discrimination.
Making sure that everyone is allowed to play sports (which are activies that are MEANT to be played by everybody) isn't politics. It's what should've been done all along.
You know what sounds pretty shitty to me though? Rejecting people in sport by who they are and not by their skill level. If you want to make a sport apolitical, stop pushing YOUR agenda of discrimination. This hat (can't believe people are pissed over a hat; humans used to invent stuff like the Internet) only represents the people who want to play sport and haven't been allowed to. They're not here to 'spread homosexuality' or that bullshit. All they care about is sport. People like this Instagram user on the other hand, aren't just here for the sport. They're the ones who have other agendas on mind.
