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.

No kidding?

'Cause sticking things up your butt trumps God. Got it.
The butthurt is strong with this one.
Kramer!…
“…inequality and rejection of an entire class of people........”
Whose distinction is their personal sexual practices. I wouldn’t wear their damned rainbow.
LOL
It’s all about the pagan green cult:
1. Homosexuals by definition can’t reproduce
2. Transexuals by definition are maimed to the point they can’t reproduce
3. Abortion reduces the population
4. Reducing fossil fuel production will kill millions due inability to cool or heat homes
5. A tanking economy will drive people into bankruptcy and force the population into cities so the left will have plenty of room for windmills and solar panels
Acrosexuals at it again.
And like an infant they need to be taught that no means no period. There is no grey area or compromise with no.
He’s making up the teams having a “Christian night”. I’m sure he was never a Christian either. What a disgusting prevaricator.
No…they GOT the point!
“I can deal with the LGB crowd, but once the T’s show up, no, I’m sorry, they are mentally ill.“
So is the LGB crowd. They’re how we wound up with drag Queen story hour and all the rest. Sexual deviance owns people and their brains. It become the single most important thing in their lives. Above family country and God.
Another sour “gay” whining because others refuse to celebrate sins with him.
He would wear a Cross to celebrate Christian Night REALLY?
So what?
Go away and prepare for more push back as there may well be a new Great Awakening” coming and it won’t be to celebrate sodomy!
One of the top executives in my company is gay. Very gay. Yet he’s not an activist. He’s a normal person who doesn’t force his views on the rest of the company. We have several other gay people in our company, and they are the same. Nary a pride symbol in our entire company.
Be and let be.
Nope. Uh uh. Get bent. Keep your kids away from these grooming professional sports.
Pro sports has Christian nights? With crosses on the uniform? Dream on, Cyd.
” it’s clear they started a misguided trend “
No bias here.
When are they going to have a heterosexual month?
I’m so effing sick of these people.
