To answer your original question. He gave more public support to LGBTQ people than any other player that I saw. Off the top of my head, other players who've gone to Saudi Arabia barely spoke about it beforehand, if ever.

So that's why he gets so much grief. He put himself at the forefront of the conversation and then decided he didn't care about it anymore, as long as he could get an even more ridiculous salary than he was already on.
