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.

Yes but he is the founder of the National Gay Flag Football Association.
“I can deal with the LGB crowd, but once the T’s show up, no, I’m sorry, they are mentally ill.”
Wanting to shove one’s penis up a man’s rump is pretty twisted too. And that is from a BIOLOGICAL perspective, not specifically Christian!
“used the religion I loved”
That was the problem. He loved the RELIGION, not JESUS.
i wonder if he’d attend the Rebel Pride Night
or the Red Neck Pride Night
or the Macho Man Night
or Family Friendly Night
or Mother’s Day Celebration Night
or Real Men Against Breast Cancer Night
or Domestic Beer Drinkers Night
how about every night being free choice night.
my employer has a dress code, but when it comes to wearing a “dress” to meet that code, count me out.
No, they are not missing the point. The point is that they will not endorse what is immoral and disgusting behavior.
The LGB crowd is also mentally ill and degenerate. We need to stop treating them with kit gloves.
Well, quick question: is it wrong when straight men want to have anal sex with a woman? I mean, in your opinion?
You didn't ask me, but yes. It's disgusting. Messed up in the head. The exit is not the entrance. Don't push poo!
Do you feel the same way about men who have an interest in women's butts? (I mean, beyond aesthetic.)
Good point. To compare LGBT night with Christian both illustrates that the author views an alternate lifestyle as religion and that he misses the point of electing to not wear the sweater.
That's a logical answer. I'm just curious if there are people who think anal sex M2M is disgusting, but think it's fine to do it to a woman.
Is it okay if it's a woman's rump?
Kobe Bryant is no longer around to advocate it with hotel staff.
What it boils do to is we have a libertarian “live and let live” equivalency mentality with the chickens coming home to roost.
I am not on a vendetta about homosexuals or shoplifters who are “just trying to feed their family.” All this wiggle wording to make illegal, sinful or unhealthy behavior mainstream acceptable. I have not Gay Pride and want none. It has no place in my entertainment venues if they want my dollar.
If I work somewhere I resent my employer forcing me to participate in the advancement of deviancy.
Years ago a gay fellow wrote a letter to the university paper saying he wanted everyone to celebrate his lifestyle. I have no problem with him living the life he wants to live. But no one should have to celebrate it. Same with all the ‘pride’ nonsense. Is being gay something to be proud about? No. Let’s all just leave each other alone & everything will be fine.
The gay lobby missed the point.
What is childish is their demand that everyone comply with their agenda and join them in their world of make believe and validate them in it.
No, you weren't. Ever.
Willing to bet most would just go meh if associated with a religion by a symbol rather than as a fag.
Oh they do. You can be assured of that!
