Minor league baseball’s York Revolution declined to play its Pride Night game on Thursday and opted instead to forfeit after players refused to wear uniforms that featured a rainbow design, team officials said.
The Revolution’s game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs was going to mark the Pennsylvania team’s 11th Annual Pride Night, but players refused to don special jerseys that had rainbow sleeves.
The Revolution forfeited, NBC reported.
“This decision was not reached lightly,” according to a team statement.
The spirit of Pride Night would’ve been compromised if players had been forced to wear uniforms that celebrated the community, the Revolution claimed.
York Revolution is based in York, Pennsylvania.
America is healing from woke nonsense.
If YOU want to celebrate “ something “ or “ anything “ don’t expect ME to have to celebrate it too .
YOU can do your thing and I’ll be allowed to do mine .
But don’t you dare PUT IT UP IN FRONT OF MY FACE and call me names for not playing with you .
Sadly even with Mills and Belows losing, girls will have to forfit girls sports where boys are playing as a girl.
You know, people are just tired of getting this sht shoved in our face! Enough already!
About time we started standing up. It’s not good enough that I could care less what you do, you have to force me to accept it. NO
I don’t think that’s the same kind of “rainbow” mentioned in the ole book.
Who took the liberty of designing and producing the shirts without consent would be my question. LGBTQ+ is not a topic where one can ask for forgiveness, instead of permission.
Interesting situation. It shows how sports teams and players can have very different views on events and representation. Discussions like this are always better when people can share their opinions respectfully. I also came across something interesting called Nulls Brawl IOS that offers a different kind of entertainment experience and seems worth checking out.
