The New York Mets left baseball fans furious on Friday night after showing a Pride flag on their big screen during a rendition of the US national anthem.
Prior to their game against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Mets controversially displayed the LGBTQ+ symbol instead of the American flag as the Star Spangled Banner played out at Citi Field.
Despite a number of teams getting involved in the annual 'Pride Month' tradition in recent weeks, fans are threatening to boycott MLB over the divisive stunt that took place in New York.
One user posted on X along with a video of the Pride flag being shown at Citi Field during the anthem: 'The Mets showed a pride flag instead of the American flag during our National Anthem. Boycott the MLB.'
'That's disgusting, @Mets,' said another.
'Think the @mlb is looking to be boycotted,' wrote a third.
A fourth put: '******* Disgrace!!!'
A fifth posted: 'So disrespectful. This needs to stop.'
While another simply put: 'Shameful'.
DailyMail.com has contacted the New York Mets for comment.
MLB teams traditionally hold Pride-themed events in June, with the Boston Red Sox also sparking controversy by staging a pre-game drag show earlier this week.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Disgusting. Unpatriotic.
As a penalty, all teammates must place the gas pump in the exhaust pipe of their SUV.
That’s funny.
“MLB teams traditionally hold Pride-themed events in June”
Ah yes, “tradition”.
Since five minutes ago. When the communists impose a new “tradition” on us, it’s always some weirdo thing nobody ever heard of before, but suddenly it’s sacrosanct. The 250-year old American flag, however - that’s just old hat.
Grrrr.
Boo Hoo.
Rent a movie and order a pizza.🕺🏻👻
Tigers Rockin’ and Rolling.
“We pledge allegiance to the fag...”
I’ve been boycotting since 2020.
It’s not really a boycott anymore. I just don’t care, gave it up.
Tigers Rockin’ and Rolling.
World Series Bound and picking up steam! Not a good day today, though.
I’m so sick of this pride bs. So many companies stopped it but baseball didn’t? I’m done with watching these politically motivated bs. Until conservatives stop supporting this crap it will never stop.
You’ll never see anything like that at a Texas Rangers game.
The whole HomoTansPervert Thing is a Religion.
So is Baseball.
😂
Yea sure.
Austin and Dallas are so tough.
How is your border security.
You still speak English?
I still remember the best description of the “sport” I ever heard: “minutes of boredom punctuated by seconds of terror.”
The Texas Rangers are the only Major League Baseball team that does not host a Pride Night during June, which is Pride Month.
We’ve been down this road before with the NFL.
People BOYCOTTED the NFL, revenues DROPPED, MANAGEMENT NOTICED and that was the end of all that Capernick BS.
Do the same with Baseball! (Which bores me to tears, but I know many RABID fans of the sport; my own Mother, included!)
Do it, Baseball Fans!
I’d much rather watch The Savannah Bananas, and our new team The Texas Tailgaters.
More of a cult than a religion
