It seems like everyone is proud of their own bravery these days. We are told by sportsmen and TikTok activists that we need to stand up against tyranny and wear a rainbow _____, you fill in the blank. If you are wearing the rainbow somewhere on your body then you are a hero, and everybody should stand aside and gaze at your gloriously brave self, as you walk by and bless the world with your presence while covered in your blasphemous rainbow attire. Telling everyone you are going to wear a rainbow armband around your arm, then backing down under threat of a "yellow card" maybe not so much brave as pathetic.
This is just my opinion.
