The New York Mets left baseball fans furious on Friday night after showing a Pride flag on their big screen during a rendition of the US national anthem.
Prior to their game against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Mets controversially displayed the LGBTQ+ symbol instead of the American flag as the Star Spangled Banner played out at Citi Field.
Despite a number of teams getting involved in the annual 'Pride Month' tradition in recent weeks, fans are threatening to boycott MLB over the divisive stunt that took place in New York.
One user posted on X along with a video of the Pride flag being shown at Citi Field during the anthem: 'The Mets showed a pride flag instead of the American flag during our National Anthem. Boycott the MLB.'
'That's disgusting, @Mets,' said another.
'Think the @mlb is looking to be boycotted,' wrote a third.
A fourth put: '******* Disgrace!!!'
A fifth posted: 'So disrespectful. This needs to stop.'
While another simply put: 'Shameful'.
DailyMail.com has contacted the New York Mets for comment.
MLB teams traditionally hold Pride-themed events in June, with the Boston Red Sox also sparking controversy by staging a pre-game drag show earlier this week.

LOL. That takes a well and truly special kind of stupid.
They displayed the fag flag during the national anthem??? That’s taking it too far. That’s rubbing salt in the wound. I would have walked out of the stadium. 😡🤬

Why so serious? Just cuz dfwgator said that the Rangers don’t fly the fag flag, which is true.
I proudly wore red, white and, blue today at the ballpark where I work. At game time, I switched to an American flag colored shirt. No member of upper management stopped me or questioned me.
If they did, I was prepared to respond with “You praised the pride people” and walk off the job.
For shoots and giggles, I stopped off at Burger King and got over a half dozen BK crowns and gave them to my employees. almost all wore them getting ready for the game.
As a long time FReeper - I am telling you the truth.
“ Why so serious? Just cuz dfwgator said that the Rangers don’t fly the fag flag, which is true.
So what. Y’all have just as many “Fags” as anyone else.
Including the Longhorns and Cowboys.😄
another big business afflicted with DBM syndrome
Death By mis-Management
MLB had everything going for it, tons of money....taxpayer-financed statia in many cities, and a special monopoly too
and they do this to themselves? it is difficult to imagine any one single act that any outsider could have perpetrated at MLB that could have inflicted even a fraction of the damage

I`d show you mine but after looking at your posts I don’t think you would know it when you saw it.
And the only blowhard is you, your lectures and the commie hellhole you claim to be from.
I am in the CENTER of Dallas, nobody fucks around here because they will get a bullet to head so my security is outstanding and NO, no one around me speaks a word of spanish mudo pinchazo.
To me, H3LL would like being tied to a chair and have to watch a no hitter game, for all eternity.
Awww, give it up, your critical thinking skills are nonexistent, and all you have is personal insults.
