Major League Baseball has quietly ordered its teams not to wear any Pride uniforms throughout their Pride events. The decision comes amid several companies and organizations facing consumer pushback for promoting LGBT acceptance. News of the MLB directive gained recognition last week when the Tampa Bay Rays reportedly announced its Pride festivities would have a different look, with players not sporting jerseys and hats featuring Pride rainbow patches and logos. The league reportedly announced its decision at an owners meeting in February. The decision follows Rays players declining to wear Pride jerseys in 2022, along with many NHL teams opting

Trying to keep from losing their paying customers. Angering 90% of paying customers to please 0.001% who don't even buy tickets.....is stupid.
Ask Anheiser-Busch about it, or Target.

OP, CA is a lost cause. Dare we hope the tide is beginning to turn, or at least slow its rise. I note with some hope that they didn't wait until the end of Pride Month to make this change.

Lead players like longtime first-rate pitcher Clayton Kershaw have publicly stated their strong disagreement with this “honoring” appearance of the fake “sisters”. Pander bears are taking great hits for this stuff. Should have stuck with baseball...

Turning "pervert" on us is no better image for the MLB than everything else they've been doing to turn off fans lately.

Giving something to the animals, then taking it away, is never a good strategy. Better to never give animals what they want in the first place. Sexual deviants don't sit in boring baseball games for hours because their life is akin to a "sparkler," lots of dazzle at first that burns out quickly leaving a burned out husk that's easily tossed aside. None of them want to be an "old queen."

I don’t watch MLB anymore so I really wouldn’t know, but curious. Do teams wear red, white and blue jerseys on Memorial Day? Seriously, just asking.

It's probably too late for MLB to save their skins over this issue. Sane people understand that tolerance for perversion takes zero tolerance to defeat, and "quietly ordering" their teams to back off wokeism is too little too late.

achually...they just no longer want to be compared to the 75-86 Houston Astros.
I lived in texas during that time, the only "Rainbows" you saw were trans---parent ones, in the back windows or over the license plate numbers of surfers/beach folk. The stickers were only readily available in Hawaii at that time, so having one meant YOU had been there. The "guys" often telegraphed their "Status" with surf racks and rainbow stickers, the girls announced their preference for surfer boys the same way, though few of the girls actually surfed.
"The Gays" seldom went to the beach, just as now they seldom go to "Sportsball" events..

I am sure as HELL not going to cough up one red cent to buy a Bud Light at an Astro's game. See you next year IF you've got your heads on straight.

Most people do not faor Homosexual propaganda. As a matter of fact, such probaganda is illegal in the Russian Federation.

Why did they ever start with that nonsense. People who go to Baseball games are not necessarily obscessed with what other people have between their legs, much less what they wish that they had.

There is a famous and popular tourist photo op row of town houses in Charleston, SC called “Rainbow Row” because the houses are painted in different pastel colors. Once upon a time our local minor league baseball team was called “The Rainbows”. Several years ago, someone with some brains changed the name to “Riverdogs”.

This is the first year since 1961 I haven't watched a MLB game. I cancel my season pass on DirecTV and I'm done.

I may be wrong but I only know of one team in MLB that does not do any 'Pride' events. That would be the Texas Rangers.

Now somebody tie the gay activists in front offices of sports associations with Obama to show that this is coordinated from the highest levels.
Also, anybody have a link to a good youtube video on how conservatives can become activist shareholders?
We know and understand what needs to be done at the street level--- you boycott you switch your beer loyalties, you don't go to the movies...... We know what needs to be done at the ballot box
but where this really happens is in the board room it seems. How do we get respectful, traditional Ldotter types into these board meetings where communist and revolutionary transformation policies are congealed?
