What happened
Major League Baseball warned three San Francisco Giants pitchers after they wrote Bible verses on rainbow-themed caps worn for the team’s Pride Night. Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker reportedly added “Gen. 9:12-16,” a passage about God’s covenant and the rainbow, to the caps during Friday’s game. MLB said the writing violated its uniform rules and that players were warned about future violations under long-standing policies against altering uniforms. The episode quickly became a flashpoint in the broader clash over Pride promotions, religious expression and league discipline.
