Two things:

Most soccer/football club fans lean left. Hardcore fans typically lean even further left. Miami fans... not so much.
Most soccer/football club owners/ownership groups try to stay out of politics for fear of alienating potential and current fans (i.e. their source of money). They'll do the pride nights and stuff, but they'll also deny political banners at games. Miami's primary owner is full-on MAGA. Players are similar. They usually don't deal with politics or will stay away from stuff like this because they know their fans are typically left-leaning. Miami players... let's just say this is the first MLS team to go to the White House under Trump.
