MLB quietly tells teams to drop use of Pride uniforms
Washington Examiner ^ | 6/14/2023 | Heather Hamilton

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.”

Displays such as this, on scales large and small, are still going on at every ballpark.

“...pushback for promoting LGBT acceptance...”

The pushback is against the homosexual child rapist (which is what the LGBT agenda promotes). No sane person should EVER accept that.

When the depraved queer supporters take away the innocence of children, it destroys society. The pushback has been a long time coming.

I’ve watched/attended baseball (Yankees) since I was a kid. Joe Dimaggio was my idol. I cannot imagine any of the players wearing banners that effectively said “Praise those who do sex in an unnatural way” or some other such nonsense. Games didn’t start with a tribute to the unnatural sex people, but instead with the national anthem.

A lot has changed since then.

That's right. People say protests don't work, but we are seeing that even a little resistance can snowball and start to make a difference. The difference is that people are now organizing to join together in prayer and action to at least try to push this Beast back into the sea.

Folks are figuring out that no institution can be trusted to resist the perverts—and they are starting to pay attention to details that might earlier have been ignored.

Zero tolerance of corporate perverts means what it says.

Zero.

No exceptions.

No excuses.

We stay firm and we win.
