MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred now has a real problem; the league can claim uniform neutrality, but neutrality gets harder to believe when the approved messages all seem to point one way. Pride Night caps, Pride jerseys, alpha-mafia celebrations, drag performers, special ticket packages, and corporate-sponsored messaging are treated as baseball culture.
Christian players who answer with Scripture get a warning.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent Manfred a letter demanding answers. Hawley asked for MLB's uniform regulation, records of warnings or fines over the past five seasons, and any policy covering whether players are required, encouraged, or expected to wear Pride-themed gear.

Rob Manfred MUST absolutely be fired and all his wealth confiscated. I want to see pounds and pounds of degenerate homosexual flesh put out to pasture, once and for all. No mercy, none. It’s long past time that the filthy modern day Sodom and Gomorrah members paid the price.
HOORAY athletes, Josh Hawley and Rob Schneider!
YES
The gays have been ruining everything they target. See : Religion, Marriage, Bakeries, The Boy Scouts, Libraries, bathroom privacy, women’s sports, children. So why would MLB think anything different would happen to them butting in?
My thoughts exactly.
Along with their autographs, these players should also pen there bible quotes. This is what pushback looks like.
MLB has gone in the direction it wishes. According to the contracts and the rules of the game as determined by the owners, the players are not stopped from adding things on to the uniform, but it can’t be on caps, shoes, or by pitchers.
“Players, excluding pitchers, can add numbers, letters, or insignia on the sleeves of their undershirts, allowing for individual expression within the collective team aesthetic.
“Players deviating from the team’s standard uniform are not permitted to participate in a game, underscoring the importance of uniformity in creating a cohesive team image.”

3.03 Player Uniforms
(b) Any part of an undershirt exposed to view shall be of a uniform solid color for all players on a team. Any player other than the pitcher may have numbers, and /or letters, insignia attached to the sleeve of the undershirt.

They shouldn’t have put it on the cap. They violated the rules. And if you have rules, they are the liability of all. If you don’t like the rules, then lobby to change them going through the players association. Otherwise, the players have a contractual obligation.

Yeah, the term is "Cock it up", and it's well fitted to the situation...

It’s gone from asking society for acceptance to demanding submission.
Anyway, I’m waiting for a gay couple to demand a wedding cake from a Muslim-owned bakery. What follows should be interesting.
But maybe that would never happen. Lefties are selective in their outrage.
Dear MLB: Just stick to baseball. Leave the homo stuff to the sodomites.
Players are forced to wear a rainbow
Players reference the true meaning of the rainbow
Weirdos appropriating the rainbow are upset.
What’s the issue?
It’s a form of civil disobedience. Rosa wasn’t supposed to sit in the front of the bus either.
What the hell does any of that have to do with baseball? You wouldn’t think that it could have that level of privilege but there it is.
Start by stopping the use of the word “gay”. They hijacked that word. If you are too sensitive to call them fags or deviants, then use the scientific word homosexual.
I’m not too sensitive. I’m too lazy. So I pick the word with the least number of letters. Likewise, I usually pick “leftie” over ”progressive”.
If you don’t like that, I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Fag has 3 letters but ok.
It’s all Gayball or Hateball, all of them. Don’t watch it.
I was thinking one approach would be dragging the cap on the infield before the game making it extremely dirty. Players are allowed to wear dirty uniforms due to slides, etc.
