At least five Tampa Bay Rays players decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms on Saturday as part of the team's annual 'Pride Night'.
In the buildup to Saturday's MLB game against the Chicago White Sox, which also marked the franchise's annual 16th Pride Night celebration, the Rays added rainbow-colored logos to their uniforms, caps and on the right sleeve of their shirts.
'Our Pride Nights continue to grow both in terms of visibility and participation,' Rays president Matt Silverman told the Tampa Bay Times. 'By doing this, we extend an invitation not just for this game but for all of our games that the LGBTQ+ community is invited, welcomed and celebrated.'
Members of the LGBTQ community also took part in pregame activities organized by the MLB franchise. Mini LGBTQ flags were additionally given out to fans, while the field's mount and the stadium's roof both displayed pride colors.
On Sunday, however, Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash addressed some of his players' refusal to wear the Pride-themed uniforms, saying he doesn't think it will negatively impact the clubhouse because discussions among the players over past few weeks were constructive and emphasized the value of differing perspectives.

Silverman is correct in saying that ALL fans are "Welcome", but he is VERY WRONG in saying "Celebrated"! Why should ANYONE celebrate anybody else's Sexual Choices? Being LGBTQ is not some kind of Heroic act, it's a "Choice". Does anyone "Celebrate" YOUR life choices? The sucking-up to the LGBTQ Community is ridiculous and totally undeserved. People's Sex Lives should be their business and their's alone, not aired, pushed, and displayed for all to see. How about we just keep it in the bedroom, huh?
Amen Joanna... well said.
The reason why LGBTQ WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW OR PUT ON EVEY FACE IS BECAUSE THE ANTICHRIST WILL BE ONE OF THEM, BIBLE PROPHECY IS BEING FULFILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES
PS... sadly, the idiots managing the Tampa Bay Rays don't understand... not all ideas are equal or worthy of debate... That some are caustic, harmful, divisive, and poisonous in a public forum. They deserve nothing more than a swift kick in the ass and then removed from the club's locker rooms, management's offices, and the public's view. The Public needs to boycott the Rays... and any other professional sports teams that do the same.
Welcoming unnatural and deviant behavior is undermining our culture and directly impacting the mental stability and health of our youth... Want to know why we have so many troubled individuals today.? Wonder no more. MIxed signals and confusing messages about what is expected and how one shoujld behave or FEEL about such sensitive and personal issues as gender and sexual relationships don't belong in the PROGRAM SCHEDULE FOR PROFESSIONAL SPORTS, those issues belong in the traditional and TIME PROVEN kitchens of America's family; where such matters are addressed between parents and their children... not some confused and misguided deviant who thinks their anus is for their sexual pleasure or that natures sex assignments are accidental and open to human intervention... sex changes.,
The American culture is being deliberately destroyed as part of the Marxist doctrine used to destabilize a nation's social order and government... entering thru the back door, the Marxists seek to DESTROY family and community values. Thus, creating crises where none existed, destabilizing a nation's foundation for law and order, by undermining its culture and standards for social interaction.... attacking every known measurement for social interaction... race, sex, age, religion, marriage, family, and a stable time-proven moral code. Perverting professional sports by using them as a cultural and political tool in the war to transform a nation's government is pure Marxist Doctrine. We must not allow this to continue.
.Ron, AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!! It started back in the late 1960s and soon got the point where they were shutting down charity events by churches and government taking them over so Christians wouldn't "force their beliefs" on people that were being helped and rather forced communism on them to get the help they needed or wanted!!!!! Now they are arresting people for providing non government help, especially those providing good meals outside of government approval !!!!! America is rapidly becoming just another dictatorial 3rd world puppet state of the new world order global dictatorship!!!!! I am too old and disabled to fight but will do all I can to help in whatever capacity I can!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what can be done short of armed rebellion since both political parties are allied against We the People!!!!!!!!!!
The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, 1848 was entered into OUR Congressional record in 1963. In Kennedy's last speech he spoke of the NWO....not favorably. Then he went to Dallas.
Good insight Martha... and as Paul Harvey would famously say... now for the rest of the story...
This is not new it's like that ever since Adam and Eve ate the fruit
The intensity and extent to which deviant and immoral behavior has spread in America is NEW... the current Marxist counter-culture is not a product of our Constitution or forefather's godly social order... It is the contrived and planned subversion of our culture for nefarious reasons... too, permanently transform our nation into a failed state.
