Seems reasonable that they don't want to allow players to push their politics using the official Blizzard streams. They are free to do so in their spare time.

What do you think Blizzard would do if some guy wore a MAGA hat in an official stream?

Absolutely nothing, because in the US we have freedom of speech codified into our constitution.

Unlike China.
