🚨 MLB Backs Down: Commissioner Admits Error After Threatening Christian Players for Bible Verses on Pride Caps:
Senator Josh Hawley just scored a big win for religious freedom. MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred has folded after Senator Hawley called out the league for targeting San Francisco Giants pitchers who dared to write a simple Bible reference on their Pride Night hats.
In his tweet, Senator Hawley declared: "MLB Commissioner writes to me and admits they were wrong to threaten the Giants players over Bible verses and promises never to fine or discipline these players - or any players for their religious beliefs."
The pitchers, Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker, and Ryan Walker, wrote "Gen 9:12-16" on their rainbow-themed caps. That verse from Genesis celebrates God's covenant with the rainbow after the flood, not some attack on anyone, just a quiet profession of faith. One player even opted out of the Pride hat entirely.
Instead of letting men express their deeply held beliefs, MLB rushed in with warnings, enforcing their so-called "neutral" uniform policy. But as Senator Hawley exposed, this neutrality is selective. The league has happily pushed BLM messages, Pride parades, and other Left-wing causes while treating Christian faith like a problem to be policed.
Manfred's June 19th letter tries to spin it as a simple mix-up due to poor communication with the team. He claims no fines were issued, players can opt out of Pride events without penalty, and MLB "respects players' religious beliefs." 🙄🤔

Translation: the Giants screwed up, and we were really hoping we wouldn't get called out on it.

@realerikjanthes @MLB There was no mistake and nothing got corrected. Jesus how do none of you stupid fucks know how to read?

I respect the @MLB Commissioner for owning the organization's mistake and correcting it quickly.
We can all be this civil.

@SubNuc1960 @BuzzPatterson @MLB @FoxNews It is all about nothing, you fucking moron. Some players got warned for violating their contract. Dumbass.
English
@BuzzPatterson @MLB Interesting how @foxnews tried to support Manfred by suggesting it was all about nothing.
English
MLB HUMILIATED
MLB tried to play both sides on Pride Night and face-planted hard.
They warned the players who wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on Pride Month rainbow caps, then backpedaled after public outrage and DOJ heat.
Hey @MLB, you can’t hedge on something this divisive. Pick a side or…here’s a wild idea…stick to baseball and let the fans and players decide what their religious beliefs are.
Trying to please everyone just ends up pleasing no one.
NASCAR fans and WNBA fans don’t share the same checkout line for a reason. Figure it out. You too, @NFL.

@dogmomtweets83 @BuzzPatterson @MLB The rainbow hat is already 'entirely optional' you fucking moron.
English
@BuzzPatterson @MLB I think the grandfathered pride night is over. And MLB needs to remove that immediately. It needs to either make the rainbow hate entirely optional for players or not at all for the team.
English
@BuzzPatterson @MLB Dumbfuck
No one backpedaled anything. The players got warned as they should, you fucking moron.
Apparently Buzz can't read.

@CortesSteve @CatholicVote They never were going to fine them - they got a warning. How fucking stupid are you?

Great news!
Thank you to @CatholicVote for representing -- for standing up for Christians as citizens, and for the broader principles of religious liberty!

🚨 BREAKING MLB has announced they are declining to fine the Giants players for wearing Bible verses on their "Pride Night" caps. "The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be." – letter to Sen. Josh Hawley 👏👏👏
English
This letter is riddled with lies and half-hearted retractions.
The proper question to ask is, “what punishment should we inflict upon MLB so that they permanently change their behavior and will never consider this ever again?”

@TheLegalHeel The pride hats have always been optional, you fucking moron.
English
It never should have been an issue to begin with.
No one should be forced to wear a political, social, or religious symbol if they do not want to.
I swear, I just wish all politics and religious shit were removed from sports. I want to watch sports, not indoctrination or politicization.

"The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be." MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is pushing back after Sen. Josh Hawley accused the league of targeting San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verse references on their Pride Night hats. In a letter to Hawley, Manfred said the players received only a "routine oral warning" related to MLB's uniform policy and stressed that no fines or discipline were issued. He also said the league later learned the Giants had not clearly informed players they could opt out of the Pride-themed cap and wear a standard game cap instead. The dispute has become the latest flashpoint in the debate over religious expression, Pride events, and professional sports.

@toddtempleman @LttleGel There's nothing to 'retreat from' you fucking moron, this is how it's always been.
English
@LttleGel Let's see whether the Left responds to this the way I expect or retreats quietly. Either way, it'll be a real delight.
English
Not only is Hawley accurate just bc MLB tried to bury it in 2+ pages, can't wait until the Left notices that of MLB's 12 league-wide events each year "in which all Clubs must participate," Pride is NOT one of them!

@TomiLahren Lol this changes nothing and just confirms the MLB was correct in the first place. Fuck off you dumb cunt.

The MLB commissioner is lying to you when he claims MLB prohibits any and all alterations of uniforms to include political or religious messaging.
In 2020, MLB ignored its own rules and allowed players to add BLM messages to their shoes and uniforms. And if that weren’t absurd enough, MLB even stenciled BLM messaging onto pitchers’ mounds in 2020.
Time for full testimony from the commissioner, under oath, about MLB’s history of violating the law and forcing players to violate their deeply held religious beliefs.
MLB and its franchises hate Christians and deliberately discriminate against them, and they need to be held to account for it.
