These players just reinforce the stereotype of athletes possessing no intellectual qualities outside of physical strength. Jethro Clampets, in other words.
Everyone knows rainbows belong to Paul Vasquez, the double rainbow guy. Not to petty baseball players.
Double rainbow all the way. Double rainbow, oh my god. That’s a double rainbow all the way across the sky! Yeah yeaaaaa it’s so intense! It’s so bright and so vivid. What does this mean? It’s starting to look like a triple rainbow! That’s a whole rainbow now, ooooooohhhhhh! RIP Paul. 🌈
The older I get the more I dislike religion. It’s a man-made tool to both explain the unexplainable, and to manipulate people. I’m glad for some people if they find comfort, or purpose, or community in religion. But for me, religion represents many of humanity’s limitations and worst impulses. People have, for thousands of years, committed atrocious acts against other people, including murder and sexual abuse and financial abuse in the name of religion. Religions result in tribalism and division. And we’ve seen in recent years the grotesque use of religion by cynical politicians who use it as a tool to gain votes, financial support and power. When people as deeply flawed as Donald Trump are viewed by some as chosen by God, it proves my point.
Part and parcel of the new "Conservatism" seems to be being an insufferable busybody, Keep your nose out of other people's business and you won't be so offended.
I don't hate anyone, I hate everyone. Being in a CA county that is 51/49 Blue, I have to realize half the people with whom I come in contact every day are fascist-aligned assholes. So I stay away from all of them. It was fun being in the Czech Republic for a few weeks where I didn't have that going on... I just tried to stay away from the crowds. Which isn't hard if you know your way around. I went to college in a liberal enclave (i.e., a college town) and Ms. PC and I will move to another after she retires. For now I'm Mr. Keep-to-Myself.
Nothing wrong with being Mr. Keep-to-Myself. More people should practice that. As Hank Williams Sr said. "if you mind your own business then you won't be minding mine"
We had a similar situation here in Central PA with players on a minor league team refusing to wear the Pride jerseys for the Pride Night game The team was actually forced to take a forfeit and Pride Night proceeded without the baseball game.
Another coin with three sides, another Sticky Wicket, needlessly
On one hand I can defend the players who didn't wish to wear the Jerseys with the Pride sleeves. I can't condone forcing anyone to openly endorse a cause or position which they don't believe in or agree with. I would say the same if it were "Jesus Night" and the jerseys were adorned with a large cross.. On the other hand, the players are employees, somewhere in their contracts, or so I'm told, they have agreed to wear the team uniform including special events ""uniform of the day"
My worthless opinion, the players could have just sucked it up put on the Jerseys and played Ball. or management could have made wearing the Jerseys voluntary. Enough already with the "Stand Your Ground" no matter what BS Hey WTF do I know?
Not many people know this, but I actually own the rights to the rainbow. It's a long story involving me removing a thorn from God's hand and earning his undying gratitude.
Suffice it to say, these baseball players will be getting a letter from my solicitor.
Wait a minute…didn't the flood happen in the Old Testament? What's it got to do with christianity? I’m sooo confused. 🤔
Don't Christians get both testaments?
Probably. 🤷♀️

Giants’, not Giants
To me this sounds like "we would like to be traded to some other team".
If MLB didn't enforce its uniform uniformity rules uniformly, it would be total chaos, with the games looking like a pick-up game in a sandlot.
I though Isaac Newton invented the rainbow, also gay people and Pink Floyd?

Personally, I give zero fucks about who other people want to have sex with, and can't understand why some people are totally obsessed with it.
And God showed his favor by letting the Marlins cream them.
You mean "Her" favor
Not to be too nerdy, but the Pride Flag and the Rainbow are not the same.
The Pride Flag original had eight colors, now has six. the Rainbow has always had seven

The UCL (United Coalition of Leprechauns) would like to have a word with you!
Without their overweening persecution complex, these Christians would have nothing at all.
