MLB issued warnings to the San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on their hats during their Friday “Pride Night” game. While many on the Left are encouraging MLB to discipline the players further, they should recognize that this protest comes straight out of their own playbook.Four of the five Giants pitchers chose to protest their team’s requirement that they wear a rainbow logo on their hats for Friday’s game against the Chicago Cubs. Landon Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker chose to inscribe Bible verses near the pride-themed logo, while Sam Hentges wore a cap with the Giants’ normal logo.The Bible verse that Roupp, Brubaker, and Walker displayed was from the Book of Genesis, 9:12-16, which reads in part: “Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 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. 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.”
Speaking about his choice to wear the Giants’ normal black cap with gold lettering, Hentges said it was a decision he made with his family and the team.
