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.

They certainly raised the issue and got it publicized

The Godless MLB is ALL ABOUT promoting Faggotry and
the Sodom and Gomorrah LGBTQ+ Agendas PERVERTING
what was once a fine American institution.

MLB goes OUT OF THEIR WAY to promote LGBTQ+.

Like most employers they are FORCING employees to be part
of promoting Gay Pride and anti-Biblical agendas whether
or not it conflicts with an employee’s religious beliefs.

MLB brought this upon themselves.

WHERE is MLB HETEROSEXUAL PRIDE NIGHT??

Well nah MLB only promotes Godless Reprobate LGBTQ+
with a special night.

Puke 🤢🤢🤢 🤮🤮🤮

As far as I can tell 🤔🤔🤔 just this:

Genesis 9:12-16
21st Century King James Version

12 And God said, “This is the token of the Covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for Perpetual Generations:

13 I do set My Rainbow In The Cloud, and it shall be for a token of a Covenant between Me and the Earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, 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, and the waters shall no more become a Flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the Rainbow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the Everlasting Covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the Earth.”
