@NStephey @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB The verses may violate MLB rules but not allowing the verses violates the Constitution which supersedes any MLB law.

@Mustangnut03 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB Yes they would because that would be a uniform violation. Adding words to something would be disfiguring it would it not?

I will pay the fines for any @MLB Christian player who wears a Bible verse on their uniform. @MLB is ANTI-CHRISTIAN

@TheHat2 The verses may violate the MLB rules but not allowing the Bible verses violates the Constitution which is the law of the land which supersedes any MLB law.

>the verses "violated MLB rules" The rules in question are: 3.03(a): "All players on a team shall wear uniforms identical in color, trim and style..." 3.03(c): "No player whose uniform does not conform to that of his teammates shall be permitted to participate in a game." 3.03(d): "A league may provide that each team shall wear a distinctive uniform at all times..." So by writing on the Pride hats, their uniforms are no longer considered "identical," or the "distinctive" one mandated by the league (i.e., specifically for Pride Night). It's a rather strict reading of the rules.

🚨 JUST IN: The Attorney General of Florida is now launching an investigation into the MLB after they WARNED 3 Giants pitchers simply because they wore BIBLE VERSES on their "Pride Night" caps GOOD! JD VANCE: "Trump won we don’t have to do this anymore." AG UTHMEIER: "Do you practice religious discrimination in Florida, MLB? You’ll be hearing from my office soon." The verse says that the rainbow is a symbol of a covenant between God and all living creatures. WHY would they discipline that? Cut the BS! Christians can be Christians!

@SKolls @NStephey @JamesRod1776 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB He made about adults when nobody was talking about adults! The conversation was about children! But year let's talk about intelligence! 😆

@Mustangnut03 @NStephey @JamesRod1776 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB I wish I could say your comment was intelligent - but that would be a deflection of the truth. Inherent in their reply was not children. It was adults. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@NStephey @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB So it's ok for the NFL or MLB to add the decisive words but when players do it's wrong? Got it!!

Trump won we don’t have to do this anymore

It’s time for @MLB to end Pride Nights for good… They are openly discriminatory to Christians, and make games non-family friendly with unapologetic sexual depravity. No athlete should be forced to support an agenda/movement that doesn’t align with their faith/values. #NoMorePrideNights

@NStephey @JamesRod1776 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB You deflected it and made it about the adults!

@Mustangnut03 @JamesRod1776 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB And notice how I didn’t say kids should transition?

@NStephey @JamesRod1776 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB He said molesting children with gender affirming surgeries he didn't say anything about adults.

@JamesRod1776 @Mustangnut03 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB I think any adult should be able to do whatever they want to themselves if they aren’t hurting others. Do you believe in individual freedoms?

@NStephey @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB "to spoil, damage, or disfigure the surface or appearance of something". I wouldn't say the hat was spoiled, damaged, or disfigured in any way. But let's be honest, MLB wouldn't be saying a word if a player was wearing a hat with a US flag and covered it up with a pride flag.

@Mustangnut03 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB What is the definition of deface?

@NStephey @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB Deface it is an extreme exaggeration! 😆😆😆

@Mustangnut03 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB No, warnings were issued because they altered the pride cap. They didn’t just choose to wear the normal uniform they willingly chose the new one and to deface it.

@NStephey @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB Warnings were issued from MLB for doing different.

@Mustangnut03 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB The MLB allows you to wear the normal uniform if you don’t support pride, what is forced about that?

@NStephey @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB It appears forced when MLB is threatening backlash for opposing it. Just my observation.

@Mustangnut03 @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB Freedom to make the statement also means people are free to voice their opinion back. The pride cap was not forced.

@TheRockOracle1 @SInow Seems you don't have much tolerance for their religion!

They could have put those verses on their caps any other month and have could have done it for the whole year on non-major League baseball caps. But they decided to do it pride month because they have to let everybody know how selfish and insecure they are because they have an imaginary friend who allegedly doesn't have much acceptance or tolerance for gay people

Three Giants pitchers wore Bible verses on their Pride Night caps during Friday’s game. MLB has since issued a warning to them.

@NStephey @Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB You're also allowed religious freedom. The first reprenstation of the rainbow was from the Bible. They have the freedom to make this statement!

@Saremei1997 @RobSchneider @MLB No one is forcing them to wear the pride cap. You don’t have to wear it. You can wear your normal uniform.

@drizz_81 @DANdismounts Unfortunately I think you're in the minority. I'd say a majority factor in a day off for rest, travel, possible rain out ect.

@DANdismounts And I’m not trying to be home at 10:30 when I gotta work Monday either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

110%. It’s also time to pivot back to thinking about the fans at the track too. They’re paying more than the people at home, I think that needs to become a bigger priority in these decisions

@drizz_81 Don't you think the fact that it's selling out would mean it's at the optimum time? (Not the only factor, but probably one of many)

If Pocono is going to sell out every year, they should get to choose the optimal starting time to ensure their customers get their event. TV be damned.

@DexterFason @PPistone No but we are a nationally televized sport.

@Mustangnut03 @PPistone We are not a stick and ball sport

I get the TV broadcast metric about later Sunday starts and potential higher ratings - but there’s also logic, reason and goodwill with the fan base and the industry for consideration - the positive reaction today to a 1 ET start time should make media partners take notice

@EricD9898 @TheRealTonyT82 @PPistone A lot of that the track controls. The time of the race doesn't really affect that.

@Mustangnut03 @TheRealTonyT82 @PPistone I have a 3 hour drive to New Hampshire and still get home after midnight with a 3pm start. Takes hours to actually get moving on the road when these events end

@StenhouseJr Nascar fans and drivers are the only sport to complain that the event is being held during prime time! I've never heard a MLB/NFL fan or player complain that event is to late in the day!

One thing I do know after today is more 1pm start times please!!!
