OUTRAGE: The MLB is getting absolutely BLASTED online as BOYCOTTS continue to mount after the league “warned” San Francisco Giants players for their “violation” of writing Bible verses on their caps during pride night caps. “The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we... have warned the players about future violations,” MLB Chief Communications Officer Pat Courtney said in a statement Monday. The MLB attempted to BACKTRACK in a new statement on Tuesday writing: “To be clear, this routine verbal warning not to wear the hat in future games is not disciplinary and had absolutely nothing to do with the content of the message. We respect players’ right to free expression.” “However, writing of any kind, with any message, is prohibited per Major League Baseball’s Uniform Regulations which provides in part that, ‘[a] Player may not write, attach, affix, embroider or otherwise display nicknames or messages on apparel or playing equipment.’” “We have given the same warning numerous times in the past to players for messages such as ‘Dad’, ‘Happy Mother’s Day, I Love Mom’ and names of family members.”show more
