Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred told Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., that San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verse references on their Pride Night hats will not face fines or discipline over the incident, while defending the league’s uniform policy at the center of the controversy.
In a June 19 letter posted to X by Hawley on Monday, Manfred said MLB’s office issued "a routine oral warning" after Giants players added biblical references to caps with the team’s Pride logo. But he said the warning came before the league learned the Giants had not clearly told players they could wear regular caps instead.
"The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be," Manfred wrote.
This is good news. But I'm guessing that MLB commish Rob Manfred only consented because he has bigger fish--like the possibility of an upcoming labor strike on the horizon--and didn't want to be distracted bystupid culture wars at this time. That said, while common sense dicates that you'd want to keep divisive subjects like religion and politics out of the workplace, sports teams celebrating 'Pride Month' are all about one thing: money. Because instead of live and let live in an arena (Sports) that often brings about unity between a variety of folks from all walks of life, these corporate donors/morally-bankrupt heathens only care about pushing their Godless agenda down people's throats. Thank goodness guys like Senator Josh Hawley are around to put a stop to it.
