Reversing the decision to allow pride tape is worse than if they hadn't allowed it in the first place- it shows that the game is for everyone but only if a few people don't make it uncomfortable for the league
This is the opposite of courage and allyship

On October 24, 1975, 90% of the women in Iceland staged a strike for equal rights and pay. They ceased working, cooking, cleaning, and tending to their children, effectively bringing the nation to a standstill. The men faced significant challenges. Supermarkets quickly sold out of sausages due to their ease of preparation. Fathers resorted to bribing their older children to care for the younger ones, while some were compelled to bring their children to work, resulting in reduced productivity.
Numerous shops and small businesses operated at only half capacity. Schools had to close as a majority of the teachers were women. The printing of newspapers halted since the majority of typesetters were women. Flight cancellations ensued as most flight attendants were women, and bank managers had to assume teller roles due to the preponderance of female tellers.
One year later, Iceland enacted the world's first law guaranteeing equal rights for women. Four years following this legislation, Iceland made history by electing its first female president, Vigdรญs Finnbogadรณttir, who served from 1980 to 1996, becoming the world's longest-serving elected female head of state.
According to the World Economic Forum, Iceland currently holds the top rank globally for gender equality, a position it has maintained for the past 11 years.
The @yourAGA has incredible exhibitions right now. My favourites were by Lana Whiskeyjack (absolutely powerful and provocative), and Warhol and Banksy (right-brain fun with social commentary).
100% recommend.
