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.

The author fails to realize that there’s a difference between “anti-gay” and “anti-gay agenda.” A lot of people are sick and tired of the gay agenda being shoved in our faces.

He left Christianity “in the rear-view mirror” because his gaiety was more important to him than Jesus Christ? Because his deviant lifestyle mattered more to him than the Bible? That’s just sad. I don’t believe he was a Christian before. I will send up a prayer for him.
They should wear a SEVEN-COLOR RAINBOW, not the perverted 6-color fag one.
Bingo! It’s obvious what’s going on....Recently I was returning an Amazon item to Kohls and noticed socks for sale while in the return line. The socks stated “LGBTQ persecutions must stop”.
My wife nd I were like “WTH? They’re not persecuted, Christians are-—where are those socks being sold at Kohls”?
50% of the population is absolutely stupid....I used to believe Americans had some common sense but they don’t. We refuse to shop anywhere that has a “Gay pride (anti-Christian) flag or caters to anything “left”. It’s beyond stupid!
“is it wrong when straight men want to have anal sex with a woman?”
It’s wrong; it’s sodomy. Any anal sex between male and female is sodomy.

May this documentation and message work to bring repentance and salvation thru penitent faith in the risen Lord Jesus, whom the Father sent to be the Savior of the world. Thanks be to God, Amen
Aesthetics aside, it’s an exit not an entrance.
I don't think so...The LGBTQ or any other lifestyle/culture that does not encourage procreation is potentially disastrous to a nation.
Keep in mind that there is a mask these people wear. Or always have worn, that is slipping now and will soon be off. Think Sodom and Gomorra. Ive seen that mask slip many times . What is hidden behind it is literally reptilian: the oscillating head, the eyes locked and glaring. It’s a thing they go into that, if they are somehow interrupted, have a hard time releasing from. They are abnormal which is why they didn’t just keep it to the privacy of their bedrooms. This is why we have to know all about their bizarre predilections. And in that regard you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Rejecting to display a “pride” flag is not about being disrespectful of any “gay” persons. It is rejecting of a political agenda and a rejection of being forced to being part of that agenda. What the “gay” activists try to prmote is the lie that THEY “represent” all “gay” people in all they, the activist do. It is as much a lie as the belief that the NAACP holds the views of “all” American black persons.
“Is it okay if it’s a woman’s rump?”
Nope. Biologically ridiculous.
What would they say if it was a Muslim soccer player who wouldn’t wear the gay pride uniform?
Nothing
Athletes are hired to play ball, skate or run. Who cares what their political or religious views are. Why do team owners want to force their beliefs on their customers?
I'll take "Things that never happened" for $500 Alex.
And I guaranty Mr Zeigler would be screaming bloody murder if any team or league even suggested that all players wear a cross on their uniform.
I’m not sure that they would listen to the surgeon general’s advice any more than avid smokers do. Sinners gonna sin. But we can pray for them, I pray for them and I know you do too.
I’d like this person to give me examples of “Christian Night” at any professional sports event.
I’ll wait.
Um ... no. The author is the one missing the point. No one wants to be forced to show support for something that goes against their beliefs.
