@SFGiantsNick No. They'd still be promoting sex acts to minors.

Giants should get rid of all theme jerseys. still do pride day at the park & any other theme day give out stuff to fans do pregame ceremonies whatever. they should take attention off players serves no good only distraction. bottom line keep the focus on winning games for players

OPINION: Bible verse used by Landen Roupp on Pride Night caps felt like a rejection of the San Francisco Giants’ LGBTQ fans, Tony Bravo writes. sfchronicle.com/entertainment/…

Mind you these hateful idiots didn’t even need to wear the pride hates in the first place. This administration is good at two things: wasting resources and perpetuating hate

@s0ccerkid @JoshHoller @JonnyRoot_ @californiapost Yes. Yes they did. But it COULD have just been their newspapers own style guide.

@YANHawksFan @JoshHoller @JonnyRoot_ @californiapost Did they just straight up ignore the style guide on that one?

Men’s professional sports have a massive homophobia problem. It’s why so few male pro athletes are out. It’s why Pride Nights matter. It’s why Heated Rivalry spoke to so many people. And it’s why the bigoted attacks on Pride Nights are so harmful & vile.

There have been approximately 60,000 athletes who have played in MLB (~23,000), NBA (~5,000), NFL (~24,000) and NHL (~8,500) history. In the history of major North American sports, a total of 172 MIN have been played by an out athlete: Jason Collins (Brooklyn Nets, 2012-13) 1/6

On May 30, the York Revolution players had no problems rebranding for one night as the Big Dills, wearing jerseys that were a giant pickle. But somehow little rainbow on otherwise normal jerseys was undignified for them.

The York Revolution have made changes to their scheduled Pride Night after “a number of [their] players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey.”

The “cause” (reason for the themed night) is “the LGBTQ is welcome to be themselves safely in society and at the ball park” if you don’t support that cause you don’t believe in all people being treated equally. Pride night is no more “forced” than armed forces night or July 4th.
Ben Otero@benotero
@OriginalClady So shoving it down normies throats is the way you would get people in sports culture to accept LGBTQ fans? Pride Night (and some others as well) turns the players into props for causes they don't support.

Players can abstain from wearing Pride hats all they want. The issue is desecrating the Pride hat and making a night about LGBTQ fans about yourself. Why haven’t any of these Giants players posted bible verses to oppose genocide, mass deportation or a litany of other atrocities?
Alex Griswold@HashtagGriswold
Wait, so the Pride hats were optional? Like it's not even true they were forced to wear them?

@NoahFinneburgh I don't understand why leftists think this is an "own." Im all for it.

Why not put the Bible verse on your hat during other games then?
Blake Niemann@Blakes_Take2
D-backs pitcher Ryan Thompson, who is a proclaimed Christian, spoke on the MLB warning SF Giants players who wrote Bible verses on Pride Night caps: "I think there's a perceived negativity with this stuff. Landen Roupp wrote a verse on his hat that means he's anti something. That doesn't mean that. It means that he's pro something. So the rainbow means something to him. It means that he believes in the Noahic Covenant being something that's special to us as Christians."

@notgaetti By wearing the hat, you are promoting sex acts to minors.

I can't believe I actually need to explain this to another grownup, but for starters, crosses and bible verses are overt religious symbols while pride hats aren't.
Honestly, I think a lot of people fundamentally misunderstand the point of pride night: by wearing the hat, you're not abandoning your own religious convictions and you're not trying to convert anyone to a particular lifestyle or belief system; you're simply showing support for a historically marginalized group of folks by saying that it's okay to be yourself and that a person isn't inherently worthless just because of who they are. It's really not asking a lot, is it?
And if you aren't lucky enough to have gay friends in your life, you should get some because (a) you'll have more visibility into the shit they deal with on the regular and (b) their weddings are always 10x more fun.
Jeff Stanek@JeffStanek1
For everyone who's got a problem with the MLB players writing Bible verses on their hats during their team's Pride Night game, I've got another scenario for you. An MLB team decides to have Christian Night at the Park, and requires each player to wear a hat with a cross on it, rather than the team's logo. What's your response?

Let me say, as a Christian to the people claiming to oppose Pride Nights because of your Christianity… you’re doing Christianity wrong. Same for Juneteenth or any night representing inclusion.
You’re not following the teachings you claim to be following.
Jakhob Clady@OriginalClady
The problem here is that you fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of Pride Night. It's not about promoting a belief system. It's about showing LGBTQ+ fans that they belong at the ballpark. If you're opposed to Pride Night, that's the message you're opposing.
