The big Central Florida women's soccer team is known as the Orlando Pride. You would think with the phrase "pride" in their name...they would be welcoming of it. Recently that appeared to not be the case when a fan group known as the Black Swans brought in a sign that simply read "gay" in protest of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill. They were asked to remove the sign because it was "too political". The leadership of the team issued a statement saying, "It is a privilege and duty to create a safe, inclusive environment at Orlando Pride matches, and the Club deeply apologizes for violating that trust through this incorrect decision. Moving forward, the Black Swans have approval to hang the banner at Pride home matches if they wish to do so. Over its seven-year history, the Orlando Pride and its players have been on the forefront of supporting equality initiatives.”
