Pro baseball players decline “Pride Night” logo cite Christian Faith
Several baseball players on the Tampa Bay Rays took a stand for their Christian faith, making national headlines. Several payers on the Tampa Bay Rays refused to wear rainbow logos on their uniforms at a recent game. The logos were apart of the organization’s “Pride Night”, a promotion done by the baseball team in support of the LGBT community. These types of events are usually held in June as apart of what is referred to as “Pride month” by the LGBT community. Several of the team’s players and staff members declined to wear the logo; one player speaking for the group said the decision was faith based. Jason Adam says the decision ultimately came down to the players’ faith in Jesus and what the Word of God instructs concerning lifestyle. Adam says the decision is not judgemental of those in the LGBT community, but they (players and staff) are instructed to live a lifestyle that abstains from that behavior. Despite criticism from some players and pro LGBT groups, the players have received praise for their remarks and stance. The team’s manager (baseball’s equivalent of head coach), Kevin Cash says the decision by the players did not create division among the team.
