I wear them, frankly, because I don't give a ***** what anyone else thinks. The shorts are far more comfortable than wearing loose-fitting "straight guy" clothes. As far as wearing team jerseys, why doesn't anyone go out to backyard football games and harrass the guys wearing Michael Vick and Dan Marino jerseys? We're fans of a sport, and when participating in said sport, in the company of others who enjoy said sport, we like to fly our colors. It's just the way things are. If motorists make me a target because of it, I'll gleefully meet them in court.
