We’re more than halfway through June, and the parade of LGBT “pride” propaganda across professional sports continues at full speed.
Most recently, the MLB came under fire for issuing a warning to multiple players on the San Francisco Giants who wrote Bible verses on their hats.
The same hats had already been very conspicuously altered to include the month’s ubiquitous rainbow imagery, but adding a small nod to the Creator was apparently too much for league execs.
Per the Daily Caller:
Staying true to their faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, numerous San Francisco pitchers wrote verses from the Bible on their caps. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp, one of the hurlers, talked following the contest about why he scrawled the verse, stating that it was the representation of “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,” said Roupp to the media, per OutKick. “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,” added Roupp.
Here’s a sampling of the backlash the MLB received in response:

Unsurprisingly, the kind of far-left Democrat commonly elected in the Giants’ hometown would be incensed by the gall of players to prioritize their faith over their sexual orientation.
According to Fox News:
Matt Dorsey, a Democrat who represents District 6 and sits on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, wrote on social media the event was “disappointing in several respects.” He authored a lengthy thread on X about the ordeal.
ADVERTISEMENT“First, as a sports fan, it struck me as problematically undisciplined,” he began. “When you’re a highly paid professional athlete, your uniform isn’t a canvas for individual self-expression — especially about politics — and it has been my observation over the years that championship-caliber teams never tolerate distractions like this.
“Second, as a person of faith, I’ll be the first to defend Bible verses and prayer as sources of inspiration and strength for many athletes — I have no problem with that. But I am bothered to see Biblical cherry-picking used to score political points, on a single occasion, and it’s hard to argue this was anything other than that.”
Dorsey added that, as a gay man, he was “disappointed” that a symbol of the LGBTQ+ community was still seen as “controversial.”
“Major cities with major-league sports teams are inherently diverse, and if you’re uncomfortable celebrating the wide array of heritage and pride nights for communities that make up the city on your uniform, maybe the major leagues aren’t for you.”
