Several Giants players wrote Bible verses on their caps to respond to Pride Night. The gesture echoed a familiar pattern: making a night meant for inclusion about something else entirely. Read more for free, from @GrantBrisbee: nyti.ms/3Q23q8J


Disappointed that a number of white, American pitchers for the @SFGiants chose to wear caps with Genesis 9:16 scrawled next to a rainbowed logo on Pride Night last week, and one opted to not wear the pride cap at all. @GrantBrisbee nails the problem in his Athletic post: "Pride Night is about bringing more people into the group and telling them they belong in the same stadium, rooting for the same team." "Pride Night is about support and lifting human beings. Making it about something else — yourself, say, or the idea that some people aren’t as worthy of recognition or support — shows how little some people actually care about a message of love." nytimes.com/athletic/73581… The Giants issued a statement which included this, at least: "We understand that the choices by individual players have caused pain and anger to many in the LGBTQ+ community and we are sorry for that. Those choices do not change our organization’s commitment to inclusion, belonging, and creating a welcoming environment for all." sfstandard.com/2026/06/14/sf-…



For me the biggest miss in American soccer isn’t the LeBron James’ and so on. It’s the countless Division 1 5’8-11 slot wide receivers/corner backs whose change of direction and agility would have been unstoppable on a score pitch













Landen Roupp had Genesis 9:12-16 written on his pride hat tonight. "It's just about God's covenant and a promise that he makes to us." "It's just something I believe in and I stand firm in that. Thankfully we live in a country where we have the freedom to believe what we want."
