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.

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.”

This tweet is the only evidence about DeGrom.
Ping
Because they seem to be the only team whose management has any pride.
It would he sad if that is the only reason they aren’t having one. It would mean they are extremely morally shallow.
I question if that’s real.
This is his first year on the team, so they haven’t had pride nights long before he got to Texas.
That’s why I pointed out that’s the only source. On the other hand, that person is a Mets beat writer, where DeGrom spent the first nine years of his career. And I can’t find a denial.
Rangers had some kind of gay night years ago and fan backlash put them off the idea. Apparently permanently.
Note the accusatory tone of the article.
We’ve gone a long way past “tolerance” to the implicit demand of “you must celebrate our perversions and metal illnesses”.
Stay strong, Texas Rangers.
Only useful idiots support sportsball.
Good grief the headline is nauseating.
I divorced sports years ago because of garbage like “pride month”.
If fans would pull a Bud Light moment for a season or two on every league because of these endorsements - it would be hard to ignore.
If true, it wouldn’t explain why Rangers didn’t do it earlier.
Some teams have balls.
The rest are DemocRATs.
Up yours, media.
Saw a highlight with the Orioles...there was a huge mental illness banner painted on the field...disgusting in the extreme.
Because none of their fans want it, and because the ownership actually cares what the fans say.
Pretty unusual for a business these days, but yeah.
Isn’t Nolan Ryan in Texas Rangers management?
Remember when they said that what they did in their own bedroom was nobody’s business? Now it’s everybody’s business.
Their so called pride month is just about over. Hopefully these buggerers will shut up for a few months.
