A Pennsylvania independent pro baseball team canceled its Pride Night game Thursday, citing players’ refusal to wear uniforms with rainbow sleeves one week after three San Francisco Giants players altered their own team’s Pride-themed hats.York Revolution officials said in a statement that the team would forfeit its 11th annual Pride Night game, but the free Pride Night activities would go on as planned.“Unfortunately, several of our players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey and the club decided that hosting the event is more important than forcing players to wear jerseys they are not comfortable with and playing the game,” the statement read.The team said the players’ reticence to participate “is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York.” As a gesture of support, officials pledged to donate $10,000 to the Rainbow Rose Center, which organizes events focused on inclusion for the LGBTQIA+ community.Revolution president and general manager Ben Shipley said fewer than nine players on the 28-man roster were willing to play in the Pride uniforms, leaving the team without enough players to fill its lineup card.“I’m disappointed that we’re at this point, and I recognize the players’ plight and their unwillingness to cross their line. I also think tolerance is not acceptance,” Shipley told NBC News on Thursday. “I was just asking for tolerance from the team, and they were unwilling to navigate that with me.”Ticket holders can exchange tickets for a different game as if Thursday’s were rained out.The Revolution are partners with multiple LGBTQ+-allied groups in the York, Pa., area.

The three players altered their Pride-themed uniforms Friday by writing Bible verses on their hats, while reliever Sam Hentges refused to wear his rainbow-themed cap at all, opting for the team’s typical one.
