All but one of the 30 of the Major League Baseball teams are hosting Pride Nights this season, most during Pride Month, which celebrates and supports LGBTQ+ culture and rights.
The Texas Rangers are the only team without a Pride Night. They say they are committed to making everyone feel welcome at all games.
SNIP
The team has been consistent with its response when asked: “Our commitment is to make everyone feel welcome and included in Rangers baseball. That means in our ballpark, at every game, and in all we do — for both our fans and our employees. We deliver on that promise across our many programs to have a positive impact across our entire community.”

I hadn't watched a baseball game in ages but was bored last night so tuned in the Orioles - Reds game. The outfield behind second base was festooned with the rainbow colors; the flags on the right field patio were all the rainbow flag; and featured during the telecast were LBTQ community leaders who talked over the game action. I turned it off after twenty minutes. I have to say Jim Palmer kept his mouth shut and looked like there was some foul smell in the air while the guests pontificated.
Yeah
And ironically, it would be based on the same premise libs have been using for decades now - one person screaming gets his way and everyone changes for that one.
Are you saying this was at my Orioles’ park?
Disgusting.
Why I am not watching at all.
Sure wish regular sports would come back.
My favorite team, and my family’s favorite team, since I can remember as a child.
May God protect them in these evil times.
“Because they seem to be the only team whose management has any pride.”
Don’t be too sure. The rangers sell within their stores the Texas Rangers Pride Clean Up Strapback Cap for almost $32 each. Where the money is going I can’t find, but it is a gay colored cap decal and there are a number of them with different logos and sales by the Rangers.
This site is involved with sales from a number of professional sports teams that cleared the sale of their products using their names:

And they are, also, sold at MLBshop.com:

Possibly because they think the point of their organization is to play baseball and entertain their patrons instead of pushing social and political agendas?
Once we get digital currency, the mark, errr uh he fan, can pay for tickets willy nilly and backlash won't matter.
They also lead all clubs with 4 players on the All-Star team.
He didnt scream to get his way. It was a negotiated work contract. The Rangers could have told him to take a hike. They have a hell of a lot more power and money than one player does.
It beggars belief that the Wokester doofuses haven’t gone after them for the team name, considering the original Texas Rangers were founded specifically to hunt down and kill Comanche Indians, whenever and wherever they could find them.
Pity those poor, mistreated “native” Americans. The snowflake crowd probably think the Rangers were created by Chuck Norris.
God Bless Texas
Because they aren’t STUPID and EVIL?
Yes, at Orioles Park.
Which celebrates and supports LGBTQ+ culture and rights.
What is exactly is “LGBTQ+ culture”? Dancing naked in front of children? Dressing up in BDSM gear and walking down public streets? Simulated sex with strangers? I’m really confused on this issue...
I was just using hyperbole to describe the situation that often happens. That was the point - it’s a liberal reaction to honor what 1 person complains about.
Can’t say it’s surprising.
Wonder how well this goes down in black thug land? Blacks have acquiesced more, but they still basically really don’t like homos.
I suspect Nolan Ryan is one of us(a Conservative.)
If the answer’s not Trump, it’s probably Bush.
