Sure, any terms can be politically loaded. For example, "stop racism" can carry underlying tones of support for BLM, or it can mean that you're against racist abuse of English players. Meaning to a term or phrase is assigned by whoever is reading it.
I just don't care enough to outright cancel an organization because they make shirts that may be interpreted as something I disagree with. Will I wear it? No. But I see enough racism in this world outside of the BLM issue to know that the words on that shirt can take many different meanings.

You live in a pretend world.
Putting words like "stop racism" on a t-shirt is about virtue signaling and nothing else. What does it accomplish? Really? Does someone think that the few actual racists are going to see those words and think "Gee, I never thought I should just stop being racist..."
Instead of t-shirts with those words, just give AO fans a jug full of their own farts that they can sniff on during the game. The end result is the same.

You're missing my point. I simply don't care enough. I don't care if it works or if it doesn't or if I don't agree with it. I'm not going to cancel an organization over a t-shirt they make.
This country is way too soft. Just ignore it and move on. If you disagree with the organization itself, by all means, cancel your membership. But an admittedly pandering/virtue signaling t-shirt is just not a big enough deal for me to throw my toys out the pram and go home.

Country is way too soft because people stopped saying stuff in fear of being cancelled, not because we can't ignore t-shirts. The problem is we can agree on no racism, sexism, etc., but then they'll double down with BLM (it's a commy organization), antifa (straight terrorists), and #metoo (partially sheds real light on an issue, partially used as a political tool for extortion). It's not all sweet and innocent. I'd really like to start an ultra group for conservatives and Christians and I'd like to see how much inclusion we'd get.

Baw, I've been ignoring this shite my whole life. It's only made things worse the last decade. I don't see what is "soft" about not wanting to support utter nonsense.
