Choosing mostly to skim the threads because I don’t have problem with people not wearing these armbands, but one common thread between both is the complaint of “If you’re so religious, why don’t you protest the gambling and alcohol sponsors which are everywhere and way more frequent than rainbow armbands”, which I don’t really have an answer for, but am just curious how you all would handle that question.
First thing that comes to my mind, without thinking harder about it:
A captain's armband is worn by the captain. Sponsorship is worn by ever single player of the team and is most also visible in club related things (press conferences, ...).
Just look at this topic. It's "Guehi wears the an armband with X". It's not "Crystal Palace is wearing an armband with X". People connect the captain's armband to the player, not to the club.
