I am obviously a huge Stroud fan, and get that you aren’t supporting the group, or saying you agree with their views, but still referencing them brings attention to the group and is pretty cringe.
If the Vikings fans called themselves Kirk Kousins Kids, or chiefs Kadarius Kelce Killers, or Arryn Rodger’s Nationals people wouldn’t be chill about it.
Just because the “Proud Boys” have a stupid name doesn’t mean they aren’t a huge hate group and using their name to represent us is dumb and makes us look bad.
The problem is the louder we get about calling out the casual racists, the harder they dig in their heels in response and the louder they become just to spite the other side.
