Insanity is en vogue.
Major League Baseball (MLB) wants each and every team to abide by its Pride Month mandates. (Only one team, the Texas Rangers has failed to do so this year.) Teams are supposed to host a “Pride Night” during which the team’s players are supposed to don gaily colored Pride apparel. As if that isn’t intrusive and tyrannical enough, MLB has now issued a warning to three Christian San Francisco Giants pitchers who had the unbridled temerity to inscribe a Biblical passage, Genesis Chapter 9, on their “Pride Night” ball caps last Friday.

That passage reads:
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, issued a statement to LGBT sports site Outsports reading, “The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations.” Outsports subsequently published a truly stupefyingly hypocritical and condescending commentary stating, “Three SF Giants pitchers disgraced themselves at the team’s Pride Night, weaponizing the Pride rainbow and attacking the LGBTQ community.”
The pitchers certainly didn’t disgrace themselves, but Major League Baseball and Pat Courtney sure did. The Pride rainbow is already weaponized against straight Christians. “Attacking the LGBTQ community” is too absurd and outlandish a statement to warrant comment.
To be reprimanded for wearing a passage from Genesis, in tiny, barely noticeable script on the obligatory LGBTQ-colored caps, not their team’s colors and logos, “in honor” of folks who are overly and publicly proud of their own particular sexual practices is beyond the pale.
Talk about a fallen society. The sheer, unmitigated arrogance! The coercion! The perversion! You must sport garb that honors guys who like to put their d**ks into other guys’ anuses, and those who are touting the fact they have sex with anyone and everyone, but a Bible verse about the creation of human life is strictly verboten! Mindboggling — and appalling — effrontery!

Sports is supposed to be about entertainment and escape, not indoctrination and adherence to The Narrative. It should be unifying, not divisive.
Let’s put the incessant push for “Pride” observances in historical perspective. What if the founders had said, “General Washington, when your troops go to Yorktown, they must wear these pastel-colored hats in honor of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders?” Or if the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) was informed that each aircraft would be required to sport an LGBTQ flag on its fuselage when bombing the Third Reich?
The military is for defending the nation, not for demanding that certain sexual proclivities are honored on a routine and structured basis, just as sports is meant to entertain, not propagandize,
Leftists constantly assert that there is no state-sponsored religion in the U.S. (even though they hate the nation). There should be no mandate to honor divergent sexualities, either.
