Major League Baseball has quietly ordered its teams not to wear any Pride uniforms throughout their Pride events.
The decision comes amid several companies and organizations facing consumer pushback for promoting LGBT acceptance.
News of the MLB directive gained recognition last week when the Tampa Bay Rays reportedly announced its Pride festivities would have a different look, with players not sporting jerseys and hats featuring Pride rainbow patches and logos.
The league reportedly announced its decision at an owners meeting in February.
The decision follows Rays players declining to wear Pride jerseys in 2022, along with many NHL teams opting out of Pride night festivities as players resisted wearing themed jerseys.
Despite the MLB directive, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants have proceeded with wearing their Pride uniform patches and logos due to a reported agreement.
The Texas Rangers are the only MLB team not to hold a Pride-themed game for the past 20 years, opting to instead focus on being "more inclusive in hiring practices."
"I think that’s more meaningful than just saying, ‘OK, we had a Pride Night,'” Rangers COO Neil Leibman told the Dallas Morning News in 2020.
The Dodgers have drawn widespread criticism for their choice to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a self-described "queer and trans nuns” group, at the team’s Pride Night festivities this Friday.
This week, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called the Dodgers’ decision “blasphemy.”
That, and the insults to veterans and other patriots. is why I haven’t watched a MLB game for several years and don’t plan to resume.
Too late you bunch of degenerates. MLB will never get a penny from me, I will never watch their games, and I will do what I can to make sure I never buy anything from any of their advertisers and sponsors. To hell with them and the sodomites.
Both of those teams are run by California dumbfu*k liberals who couldn’t care less about defaming a religion.
Good start. Now drop the whole pride event nonsense completely.
Baseball has nothing to do with faggotry and fetishes. Get that depravity out of our faces.
I don’t care what consenting adults do in their private lives. But stop constantly trying to make us pay attention to it.
MLB doesn’t need those uniforms to keep away fans. Between taking a knee and a dozen other things they’re on the Bud lite path. As a lifelong fan I’ve boycotted them for the past 3 years. I’m in my 70s
Yeah the Mick Yogi Whitey and the rest were my heroes as a kid. I Refuse to watch anymore
The normal majority is sick of Big Homo trying to jam their agenda down out throats. Going after our kids with FBI acting as their Stasi to intimidate parents to shut up and get in line was the final straw. It’s not just people are frustrated - they are. It’s that the normals have woken up to the dangers of the coup being executed against them and they are finally pushing back. Soccer moms tolerance has it’s limits and when they finally realize they have been scammed they don’t just flip - they flip out. As any guy with lip stick stains on his collar will attest. They are not just fighting back to the Democrat agenda - they are breaking up
Well they have given these creeps over two weeks of this BS so seems like they won to me. Vets get maybe one day. MLB is dead to me like the others.
Does not matter what the MLB does, quietly or otherwise. We stopped paying attention, participating in MLB after the last, ridiculous strike. When kneeling wokeness arrived, we ceased watching any highlights, reviews, whatever.
Like the FBI, most major sports will need significant makeovers before we would even consider watching.

Oh, one other thing, when it comes to the NFL, no women refs, coaches, and announcers. I might as well say players too.
e-bay also promoting it with option to donate to such causes.
I have no respect for any MLB player wearing Satanic symbols, this being one. No God-worshipper would do it.
Yep
What will the San Diego Queens do now?
Hope no one is fooled by Target nor A-B again
Fresh strawberries!!
Agreed 👍👍
No support for the godless reprobate agenda
Where is the flag for straight sex?
I will never buy Nike again.
Joe Dimaggio was my idol.

And Stan the Man was mine. We are old timers, for sure!
