Major League Baseball Warns San Francisco Giants Players for Writing Bible Verses on Pride Night Hats

Rachel Campos-Duffy joins Will Cain to examine why corporate Pride month branding has stalled out and destroy revisionist U.S. history.

Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their "Pride Night," with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo.

Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats. One, starting pitcher Landen Roupp, addressed his reasoning after the game, saying that the verse is about representing "God's covenant."

"It's just about God's covenant and a promise that he makes to us that, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy," Roupp said to reporters. "That's just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I'm thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want ... and express what we want.

"There's no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand in. I believe in God," he added.

Major League Baseball has since issued a warning to the players, citing a violation of the league's rules. The warning has sparked debate about the limits of free speech and the pressure to enforce conformity.

On the other hand, would MLB have warned a player for writing a message of say, support for left-wing politics, or for the LGBTQ+ community, for example?

As for the team itself, nobody seemed to care. Manager Tony Vitello spoke about it after the Friday night game against the Cubs, telling reporters that nothing was discussed with the protesting players.
