Major League Baseball warns San Francisco Giants players for writing Bible verses on Pride Night hats

Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their "Pride Night," with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo.

Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats. One, starting pitcher Landen Roupp, addressed his reasoning after the game, saying that the verse is about representing "God's covenant."

"It's just about God's covenant and a promise that he makes to us that, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy," Roupp said to reporters. "That's just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I'm thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want ... and express what we want.

"There's no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand in. I believe in God," he added Naturally, that public expression of Christian faith did not go over well with left-wing sportswriters who criticized Roupp and his teammates. Well, those critics will be overjoyed to hear that Major League Baseball has now officially stepped in.

Per The Athletic, an MLB official has now "warned" those players against violating the rules and writing on their cap.

"The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations," said Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, in a statement.

MLB wouldn’t say ANYTHING if it was something
Pro-Sodom and Gomorrah on the hats 🧢🧢🧢

[JimRed]

What have they in which to take pride? Buggery and sperm swallowing?

[Overtaxed]

The Texas Rangers don’t do pride night.

Jewish Night sounds great. Pastrami on rye instead of hot dogs. Kosher dill pickles. Chicken soup would be hard to distribute without spillage, though.

[reg45]

You’re a Texan, that’s all the pride anyone needs.

(Texas Rangers don’t do Pride Night.)

Does he have Genesis 19:11-14 there?

Genesis 19:11-14 English Standard Version

11 And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.

12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place.

13 For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”

14 So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, “Up! Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

Major League Baseball warns...

Nope - some HUMANS did the warning; so NAME THEM!!!

[Elsie]

Per The Athletic, an MLB official has now "warned" those players against violating the rules and writing on their cap.

"The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations," said Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, in a statement.

 

 

Should have named this idiot in the FIRST sentence!

 

 

What 'violations'??

[Elsie]

Does not apply to team uniforms or when they are on the field.

Let's read the RULES.

[Elsie]

...our rules....

[Elsie]

"Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally PASTIME!"

[Elsie]

They say Christians “force their beliefs down everybody’s throats,” well, what is this?

Well, it sure ain't BELIEFS that they want you to think about!

[Elsie]

Ya think?

[Elsie]

Bible verses violate the rules?

Show me... RULES!

[Elsie]

(The pertinent stuff)

We are living in a Genesis 19:9 world...

 

"Get out of our way,” they replied.
“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

[Elsie]

“Right-handed pitcher Landen Roupp started Friday’s game on the mound. Etched on his cap throughout the game was ‘Gen 9:12-16’ in white lettering. The writing was a reference to the Bible verse Genesis 9:12-16.”

How 'brave' to give the reference and NOT post the actual words themselves!!

¹² And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: ¹³ I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. ¹⁴ It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; ¹⁵ and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

Genesis 9:12-16

Maybe the chapter was wrong:

¹² Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—take them out of this place! ¹³ For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”

¹⁴ So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.

¹⁵ When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” ¹⁶ And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.

Genesis 19:12-16
