Pro Baseball Team Forfeits 'Pride Night' Game After Players Take a Bold Stand

Let’s hope this is the beginning of the end of “pride month.”

The minor league baseball team York Revolution’s roster was unwilling to support sodomy and debauchery Thursday evening, as players would not wear the scheduled “pride night” jerseys.

NBC News reported that fewer than nine players of the 28 were willing to take part.
 

The team was scheduled to play the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs but ultimately forfeited.

President and General Manager Ben Shipley commented on their decision after a team meeting where they would not be moved.
 

“I’m disappointed that we’re at this point, and I recognize the players’ plight and their unwillingness to cross their line. I also think tolerance is not acceptance.”

The same damned MLB that sanctioned and endorsed the BLM riots.

Next time players need to circumvent the rulwe  by pulling a stunt like they did on Ted Lasso.  MLB rules state that you that the players violated the rule of "writing of any kind".  (Tell that to the uncounted violations during BLM puke era)

Just hide the emblem.   Yellow post-it note with a little adhesive.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.  Note:  Posts may also be allegorical in nature, and not literal.

How's this?
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

Top notch.  Just add a few buildings near the flaming baseball.

You hit it out of the park.  The fire resulting is mostly peaceful.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
