There's probably already a go fund me page to pay the fines. Politics don't belong in sports, PERIOD.

 

[dorndawg]

Some of the players made a decision that maybe I wouldn't have. I'm not sure it's my place to say what uniform the York, PA minor league baseball club wears.

Yeah, I don't wear rainbows either. Good for them.

Before I comment, I’d like to see the mock up of their heterosexual night uniforms.

It's definitely not my place to suggest what the York, PA minor league team should wear. But I support the players' right to not be compelled to wear something representative of an ideology that's counter to their own values.

I'd say the same thing if they were boycotting because they refused to wear uniforms that had bible verses.

I think the phrase you're looking for here is "normal uniforms."

These guys are hero’s! Bravo

Perhaps, but I was thinking more along the lines of this...

Now that's a good looking uniform. Not enough diversity though.*

The desire for some people to publicly display their moral convictions, even those I support, and demand others comply or get called bigots is absurd. I'm no fan of blasphemy laws, whether secular or religious.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Another thing that's so 17ing stupid. Why mandate the whole team do this stuff? If you feel strongly about it, maybe make a few pieces of the uniform available with pride stuff FOR PLAYERS THAT CHOOSE TO DO SO. Like a sweatband or something, similar to all that yellow shlt Acuna and them wear. Like all that stupid looking crap the Georgia guys were wearing. This way, nobody gets judged.

I suspect though, there's probably plenty of folks out there that WANT people to be judged.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

I'm all for requiring teams do this. As long as their team name is Rebels.

I’m not a proponent of compelled speech whether it’s wearing a pride uniform, making art (a cake) you don’t want to, or standing with hand over heart for the national anthem, so I’m good with it. I do wonder why they just didn’t play the game in the regular uniforms.

I was at that Giants Pride Night game last Friday. I didn't know about writing on the hats until I read about it the next day, but the night's festivities were entertaining to say the least. This one person went to deliver the game ball to the rubber on the mound wearing these heelless platform stilletos that looked similar to this below, and I was fearful for that person's safety trying to walk up the mound in those.

The gay people that I know are good people and seem to want to live their lives just want to treated equally . I don't see why gays don't tell baseball "just drop the uniform thing"...you're hurting us as much as you're helping us by stirring up unnecessary resentment .

Not a lot of people know this, but Bob Gibson generated the velocity on his legendary fastball buy wearing cleats based on these shoes.

I mean, it is a uniform.
Everyone wearing it is what makes it uniformed.

I do understand what you were saying, to be clear.

Wikipedia says he was 6'2", he'd have been about 6'9" wearing the ones I saw last Friday.

 

[L4Dawg]

Good for them.

Bob Gibson would have buried a fastball in your Medulla Oblongata for saying this.

He's been dead for six years but I still might be looking over my shoulder if I'd have said that.

It's Pride Month, not Humility Month.

I'm straight and proud of it but feel no need to flaunt it even for one day and make anyone whose not resent me for doing so . I'd rather go unnoticed than do that .

 

[L4Dawg]

Nah, that fastball would have taken his head clean off.

ABSOLUTELY NO 17-ing need to wear any 17-ing uniform other than the one they would
Normally wear at home or on the road.
Now, with that wholehearted statement made, I do like some of the camo or American flag incorporated into the logo/uniform occasionally.
But if that has to go away to make the pride bs go away then so be it I guess.
I don’t care if someone is gay/bi/lesbo, I don’t give a $#|t but don’t push your bs agenda and beliefs down my throat and then pitch a ***** fit if I don’t agree.

The ones I know think this pride agenda is as much bullsh*t as I do.

We wear the pink stuff for breast cancer. That’s not uniform. Heck if you are pro-pride and want people to know it, show it. Seems a reasonable compromise for everyone.

The only thing that it makes me think is for many reasons just have home and aways and wear them exclusively and don't do special occasion uniforms, blackout, whatever. Get off my lawn.

I agree. I hate the throwback uniforms personally. Just keep it simple.
