@PeeVerbs@NBL So your solution is to ignore the role of sport in society and have them opt out from supporting the LGBTQI community? Because it might make some people with outdated and/or bigoted views uncomfortable? All that serves is the status quo and keeping marginalised people there
@PeeVerbs@NBL Refusing to wear the jersey (which lets be honest wasn’t even a jersey. It was a tiny logo) and then claiming victimhood for themselves was weak. It hasn’t harmed the LGBT community. It has harmed that club’s reputation and deservedly so
@PeeVerbs@NBL It is an important part of the journey to address demonising to have prominent organisations, like sports leagues, be openly and actively supportive. Visibility matters.
@CairnsTaipans The idea that you can’t actively support an initiative to give some basic respect and acknowledgement to a group of marginalised people in society speaks volumes about your team culture. Absolute bare minimum standard that you’ve failed to meet tonight @NBL#NBL
See that tiny ass logo on his chest?! That's what the Taipans refused to wear for Pride Round. You can't even see it on the broadcast. Absolute joke from the organisation. #NBL
