According to a team statement, despite the game not being played, Pride Night will still be hosted as a free admission event.
“This decision was not reached lightly,” the team stated. “Unfortunately, several of our players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey and the club decided that hosting the event is more important than forcing players to wear jerseys they are not comfortable with and playing the game.”

“To be clear; this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York,” the team stated. “As a small token of our regret for the last-minute change of plans and support for our LGBTQIA+ representing partners we are making a $10,000 donation to the Rainbow Rose Center to support and further their work in making sure the York community is as inclusive as we strive to make WellSpan Park in York, Pennsylvania.”
EXCERPT
There is hope after all! People are starting to finally say no to deviance.
