[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to attempt to be as kind and respectful as possible, in case you aren't a troll.

OP, have you every been to a Spirit game? Regardless of your personal beliefs, both the teams and a large segment of the fan base come from the LGBTQ community. If being around  members of that community offends you, regardless of what is celebrated on a particular night, you might not enjoy going to the games . . . ever.  If only Pride Night bothers you, stay home that night.

Respectfully, if you view a celebration of pride as offensive and you want to attend, speak with your daughter about your beliefs in advance as you would with any meaningful issue.  If you go to any game, the issue is likely to come up. You may view celebration of  pride ad being political, but many view it as a celebration of a community.

Beyond that, if it weren't for a loyal fan base much of which is drawn from the LGBTQ community, your daughter and all of our daughters (and sons) might not have the opportunity to watch amazing female professional athletes playing the beautiful game on a regular basis. For girls, soccer can't unite us if women's leagues do not exist. The league needs fan support to pay its players fair wages and to grow the sport to  benefit this and future generations of female athletes. Keep that in mind.

The LGBTQ community is such a large portion of the fan base, it is the reason the league can financially sustain itself, giving my DD the opportunity to watch these amazing athletes?  That's the funniest damn thing I've read all week!  Bwahahahahaha.  Thanks for transplaining it to me.[/quote]
