Must bow to the Rainbow Pride movement, or else. The player stated he missed a game “for personal reasons”, and even if he objects to Rainbow Pride, so what? France allows freedom of conscience, no?

But even if it was an accident, he made his opinion known to the company which, if he interacts with other employees, could create a hostile work environment. And of course if you are in a at-will state, that’s just a gamble you take. If you’re gonna bigot, then you have to be more mindful of where you are doing it.
