No!
What difference is there to a rainbow colour on the jersey? The city of sydney pays for it's banners through council rates charged to the people who live in that electorate. The people who live in that electorate are of many different backgrounds/religions/sexual preferences/etc.
If I'm to take the stance you are showing, then I would say those tax payers in that council are being forced to fund Christian banners in their streets. Then according to your logic, I'm being forced to promote religious belief/ideology
Again, I, personally am not showing objection to this, I'm using the rational that religious people are using in regards to the pride jersey and using that rational in the exact same accordance to the Christmas banners.
Tell the Vatican, they obviously don't know about what you're saying. I will always reject religion and God, I know I will die an atheist. I know I will never accept Jesus as my god. This confines me to hell, regardless of what I do.

If say there was a muslim or hindu or whatever other religious player on that team. If those boys are praying to God for their team to win or vice versa a muslim prays for their teammates to play well and their team to win. Isn't someone praying on a "false god" (in their teammates mind) for others?
Some would find this insulting.
And note, I find it quite interesting in where a jersey was to have rainbow stripes on it, to show support for the LGBQT community to prevent self-harm, that you consider this "mocking". That it seems, you immediately associate any action from the LGBQT community to be an attack on your religion and that they somehow set out to "mock you".
Are you taking the piss with this last bit? Seriously are you taking the piss?
They printed a flyer for an event they were having at that location. That's all it was. A landmark to denote where they were holding their event.
And you say "absolutely digusting" and somehow in this same breath you're complaining that they're attacking and you're not?
You're cooked.
