When five Tampa Bay Rays players refused to wear a game uniform with a rainbow logo during Pride month, it seemed like a childish move.
Now it’s clear they started a misguided trend that is not-so-quietly building amongst anti-gay athletes in sports around the world.
The refusal to wear a rainbow-colored uniform — and potentially miss games for the club that pays you to play — misses the entire point of the very simple act, instead infusing a clear message of inequality and rejection of an entire class of people......
I’ve had some people ask me if I’d wear a cross to welcome Christians to a ballpark, if the team that employed me was having a Christian Night (and yes, by the way, many clubs host these).
Again, simple: 100%.
I’m not Christian. I was a couple decades ago, but I’ve since left my religious beliefs in the rear-view mirror, in part because of how people like Daniels and these other anti-gay athletes have used the religion I loved to beat me over the head with the Bible.
Every athlete should be able to wear a cross during Christian night, camo during military-appreciate night, and yes, a rainbow uniform during Pride night.
With no doubt, if an athlete refused to wear a Christian symbol for Christian night, or refused to wear camo for military-appreciation night, they would be attacked as anti-Christian and anti-military.

I believe the attitude of most people is to do your own thing as long as it isn't hurting anyone or forcing on me. This gay pride is being shoved down our throats, and worse, forced/secret grooming of our children.
I can deal with the LGB crowd, but once the T’s show up, no, I’m sorry, they are mentally ill.
Who won’t wear the ribbon?
No one can be forced to wear their perverted crap
They can stick it up their butts
The alphabet degenerates and their enabler allies sure get their panties in a bunch when one hockey player declined to bend a knee to them.
Cyd was a jerk as a Christian. He is a jerk and a non-christian. I think he is just a jerk.
I guess being gay is a religion now for them. It’s not just a lifestyle choice anymore.
Sure. Let’s celebrate the fraction of a fraction of society that chose perversion as a lifestyle. This From the same minds that excoriated Tim Tebow for choosing to live a UN-perverted life. Seems the pre-separating of the sheep from the goats is so obvious few see it. Just my 2.
Cyd will one day brandish one of the long knives against Christians in America.
The irony is lost on this idiot
What’s childish is throwing a temper tantrum because an adult refuses to take them down the toy aisle.
And that is exactly what the gay culture is doing.
No. No, you weren't.
They'd love for you to do that
It is refreshing to know there are players who understand “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” - Matthew 16:26

when they refuse to stand for the national anthem - they’re hailed as heroes standing up for their point of view, yet when they refuse to be a billboard for the cause du jour, they are villified.

agreed
Great metaphor.
