The main thing was they had an elaborate LGBT rainbow display on the field and a little ceremony recognizing it that led into the national anthem (awkwardly: big cheers for the ceremony and tepid national anthem)...and no, it wasn't just a quasi-corporate 'LGBT Day' like you might see at other events. I remember there being a smaller display related to a different (liberal-slanted) cause that was in the news at halftime, but I don't recall which issue it was now (maybe immigration?). Together it was enough to make it clear that they were looking to have a fan base joined by more than the sport: it was clearly more than the (cynical) brief flag waving you get at other US sports.

I am center left so I was fine with the messaging (and it's of course it's too bad that LGBT is a polarizing 'issue' in the first place) but I'm not sure I wanted more politics (even those I agree with) in my life.
