It really is another form of signalling. Like the use of dingbats to only describe women you disagree with (among other choice phrases I am sure). I don’t understand why this specific woman is so offended, but my take on the toss was that it was somewhat disrespectful to the idea of the trophy as a desirable representation that these assholes spent their whole lives pursuing. That is their prerogative of course but it brings into relief the entire stupidity of this and other games as professional activities.

Still. Political dog whistles are becoming increasingly popular. Virtue signalling, SJWs, etc are just the latest versions of older phrases used by conservatives.
