it should be about the game, not whatever social, political, or economic issue the player is interested in.

How naive to think that there has never been any social or political commentary in sports. No Jackie Robinson, no Muhammad Ali, nothing. Right?

I didn't say there wasn't, I said there shouldn't. If players want to make political or social commentary, they should do it outside of the game itself. But once they're suited up and playing, it should be all about the game.

Please feel free to protest, but only in the way I want you to.

That sums up what you're saying, right?

What players do off the ice is irrelevant, what matters here is that there are teams that still want to do pride warmups, but they can't.

You haven't yet given a good reason for why teams shouldn't be able to use pride related jerseys during warmups, and that's because there really isn't a good reason.
