Pride can be displayed without wearing a flag; this came into popularity after 9/11
The question is where does non uniform badges, ribbons and paraphenelia end? I say it stops with zero, then there are no arguments.
Do you support AIDS prevention, do you wear a ribbon demonstrating so? Are you for gay rights, got a pinkie for that one? Breast cancer, people with dual citizenships, how about a Iranian flag for Shamir? He's proud of his country.
We have many ways to express our interests.....off the ballfield, thank you.
