In honor of Pride Month, the Tampa Bay Rays added rainbow accents to its official uniforms for its Saturday game against the Chicago White Sox. But 5 players declined to wear the Pride-themed jerseys, citing religious beliefs.
In honor of Pride Month, which is celebrated during the month of June to show support for the LGBTQ community, the Florida-based Major League Baseball team added rainbow accents to its official uniforms for its Saturday game against the Chicago White Sox.
"When we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior," Adam“It’s not judgmental. It’s not looking down. It’s just what we believe the lifestyle he’s encouraged us to live, for our good, not to withhold," the pitcher continued.
In recent years, many professional sports teams have launched annual Pride nights to celebrate the LGBTQ community. "People are misrepresenting what listening to management about what putting a rainbow flag on your uniform means," he said."It doesn't mean you endorse sex between men. It just means everyone is welcome at the ballpark."
