I just remembered that for the OTRA tour promo pics, 1D posed with shirts that belonged to the countries/cities they had concerts in, mostly sports jerseys and the like.

And Harry had no issues wearing them.

I mean, why would he, right?

All countries, sports, everything was fine.

he’d even show them off.

Except.

American football jerseys.

He did not wear those.

NOPE.

He’s like “I’ll hold it? If you insist?”

“And I can smile, but it won’t reach my eyes.”

“The Bears is where I draw the line. Not touching this one. And you don’t get a smile.”

And the reason is just…

He’s the biggest British Green Bay Packers fan Wisconsin has ever seen.

No nonsense fan, he’s in.

And it’s not new, 2013:

Remember that one time there was a Bears fan in the audience at one of the shows?

He would just randomly say shit like this in the middle of a boyband concert

Niall is wearing a Patriots hat? Not on Harry’s watch.

A good way to get Harry to have a conversation with you is to talk to him about his obsession with the Packers.

Okay I think this is enough establishing…

To my main point that is that, the 28th of August 2014 (around the same time those OTRA promo pics were taken, given the length of his hair in them), Harry DID wear an NFL jersey that didn’t belong to the Packers.

Jersey #96 of the St Louis Rams, which belonged, at the time, to Michael Sam.

And he did it proudly

Because as much of a Packers fan as he is, his support and love or the LGBT community come first, and Michael Sam was the first openly gay player of the National Football League
