Is there room in Major League Baseball for faithful Christian players?

Last week, several San Francisco Giants players wore the Pride-themed baseball cap during the team’s Pride Night, but with a twist: They wrote Bible verses on their caps referencing Genesis verses related to God’s creation of the rainbow.

Now Major League Baseball is taking aim at those players.

“The writing on the cap violates our rules and, consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,” said Pat Courtney, chief communications officer for the league, in a statement Monday to Outsports, a website that boasts it’s “Proudly LGBTQ+ Owned and Operated.”

But one conservative senator is raising the alarm about whether MLB has a double standard.

“The league’s claim that it merely forbids ‘writing of any kind’ on its uniforms does not survive a cursory review of the league’s recent history,” writes Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., in a Tuesday letter to Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred.

“In 2020, MLB itself turned its uniforms and its fields into a billboard for political and social messages. It created jersey patches reading ‘Black Lives Matter’ and ‘United for Change.’ It authorized ‘BLM’ to be stenciled onto pitching mounds. And it suspended its own equipment rules so that players could display progressive political slogans on their cleats,” Hawley added.

Hawley, who notes in his letter that the league “enjoys a sweeping, judicially manufactured exemption from the federal antitrust laws,” doesn’t mince words about his concerns in the letter, which requests Manfred respond to a series of questions.

“The league went beyond tolerating speech—it designed speech, promoted speech, and shoehorned social and political messages into the game broadcast to millions of Americans. Yet when three players added a handful of characters citing the Book of Genesis to their caps, the league reached for its rulebook.”

In a statement Tuesday, the league told The Athletic the Monday statement was not about “the content of the message,” and that the league respected “players’ right to free expression.”’

“We have given the same warning numerous times in the past to players for messages such as ‘Dad,’ ‘Happy Mother’s Day, I Love Mom’ and names of family members.”

The statement comes the same day other conservative politician are speaking out.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier posted on X: “Do you practice religious discrimination in Florida, @MLB? You’ll be hearing from my office soon.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott posted: “The Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball that doesn’t host a Pride Night. This week, they’re hosting Faith and Family Night instead.”

“In Texas, we don’t punish people for living out their faith. We protect that right,” he added.

Vice President JD Vance also signaled support for the players, writing: “Trump won we don’t have to do this anymore.”

Now, just to put this in context: Many Americans don’t support the LGBTQ+ lifestyle. A third of Americans believe same-sex relationships are morally wrong, according to a recent Gallup poll. Fifty-seven percent of Americans think changing one’s gender is morally wrong.

The baseball players who refused to kowtow and show support for a value they don’t agree with took care to speak diplomatically and in a way that encouraged dialogue. There were no ugly slurs or lack of compassion.

Take San Francisco pitcher Landen Roupp, who inscribed his Pride Night cap with Genesis 9:12-16, which is where God tells Noah the rainbow will be a sign of His covenant not to flood the earth again.

“It’s just about God’s covenant and a promise that He makes to us that, you know, His faithfulness and His mercy,” Roupp said at a press conference after the game, reports NBC Sports Bay Area.

“That’s just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I’m thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want … and express what we want.”

Asked what he would tell someone in the LGBTQ+ community who objected to his baseball cap inscription, Roupp said, “There’s no hate in it at all.”

“First of all, as a believer, I would push them to read the Bible … there’s no hate in it at all, you know, like I said, we live in a country where you’re welcome to believe what you want,” he said.

Roupp wasn’t alone among the players in sending a different message on Pride Night, which was described as a “celebration of Pride and the LGBTQIA+ community” on the Giants website. Pitchers J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker also wrote Bible verses on their caps, while Sam Hentges, also a pitcher, wore the regular Giants cap, not the Pride version.

Earlier this month, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen also refrained from wearing the Pride baseball hat during a game.

It’s not clear if the league objects to players not wearing the Pride hat. Major League Baseball did not respond to a request for comment on whether that was allowed.

Like Roupp, Hentges emphasized he had no “hate.”

“I grew up as a Christian, I’ve grown in my faith. There wasn’t any hatred behind it,” Hentges said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. “It’s just something that I feel like I was forced to support when I don’t morally support it.”

That seems reasonable enough, to refuse to show support for something you morally oppose.

Yet there was enough criticism that the San Francisco Giants issued a statement a day after the game, addressing the matter and apologizing for the “pain and anger” caused by players’ choices:

“The San Francisco Giants are proud to support Pride Night and the LGBTQ+ community. … We also respect that individuals may make personal choices about participating in team activations.

“We understand that the choices by individual players have caused pain and anger to many in the LGBTQ+ community and we are sorry for that.”

Yet, have the Giants or any other team ever issued a statement responding to Christians who objected to Pride Night?

I doubt it.

No one is forcing baseball to take moral positions on hotly disputed issues. (I don’t see any baseball teams hosting Marijuana Night or Sports Gambling Night, for instance.) But if the league continues to do so, it should also accept that players should be allowed to be true to their own beliefs.

These baseball players showed tremendous courage. No doubt, they put their future careers at risk, as well as possibly jeopardized possible brand deals. They deserve to be celebrated by Christians and others who hold traditional values—and MLB should swiftly find a way to assure Christian baseball fans they are respected, too.

The UFC Freedom 250 event to celebrate President Donald Trump's birthday (and also for America's 250th birthday, kind of) was a massive success. That means one thing — more bloody, violent fights on the White House lawn. Through highly placed White House insiders, The Babylon Bee has obtained an exclusive sneak peek at future matches.

For generations, Democrats have portrayed themselves as the party of ordinary Americans—factory workers, waitresses, truck drivers, police officers, construction workers, and middle-class families trying to get ahead. Yet one of the most striking features of modern American politics is how often Democrat leaders, activists, and media allies seem genuinely baffled by the very people they claim to represent.

The latest example comes from Washington Post columnist Monica Hesse, whose reaction to President Trump’s appearance at a packed UFC event on the White House lawn last weekend revealed a familiar pattern among America’s cultural elites. To tens of millions of Americans, UFC is simply entertainment. It is competitive, exciting, patriotic, and increasingly mainstream. To Hesse and myriad other journalists and political commentators, however, its popularity seems to require explanation—as though they are studying the customs of a distant tribe.

That reaction says far more about elite America than it does about UFC fans, and few institutions better embody elite opinion than the modern Democrat Party.

The inability to understand ordinary Americans has become a recurring problem for Democrats. Consider one of the most famous campaign images in modern history. In 1988, Democrat presidential nominee Michael Dukakis climbed into a tank in an effort to project foreign policy credibility. Though the campaign intended the image to demonstrate Dukakis’s strength and command in order to reassure wary voters, the photograph instead became a political disaster.

To many Americans, Dukakis did not look like a commander-in-chief—he looked like Alfred E. Neuman from MAD magazine, wearing an oversized helmet and generally appearing out of his element. The embarrassing image became iconic because it captured something larger than a single campaign mistake: a cohort of American elites—consultants, strategists, and media professionals—who apparently thought the photo was a good idea.

The same kind of blindness occasionally appears among establishment Republicans as well. George H.W. Bush’s comments upon seeing a new and improved grocery store scanner became a symbol—fairly or unfairly—of a politician disconnected from everyday life. But while both parties have produced elite figures detached from ordinary concerns, the problem is far more pronounced today on the Left.

Indeed, many of the institutions that now shape Democrat politics are populated almost exclusively by people who live, work, and socialize within a remarkably narrow slice of America. They attend the same universities, read the same publications, and live in the same metropolitan areas. They follow the same social-media accounts. Their children attend the same schools, and their friends share the same political and cultural assumptions.

And increasingly, they seem unable to comprehend how other Americans think.

When Hillary Clinton dismissed millions of voters as a “basket of deplorables,” many Americans viewed the comment not as a gaffe but as a rare moment of honesty. It reflected a prevailing attitude among Democrats, and elites more broadly, that disagreement could be explained only by ignorance, prejudice, or moral deficiency.

President Biden repeatedly displayed a similar tendency. During the 2024 campaign (before he was ousted), he and his allies often portrayed concerns about illegal immigration, inflation, crime, and cultural change as either exaggerated or illegitimate, even as polling showed those issues dominating voters’ concerns. Time and again, Democrat leaders appeared surprised that Americans cared more about grocery prices and border security than about the priorities emphasized by elite institutions.

Vice President Kamala Harris often suffered from the same disconnect. Her public appearances frequently projected the impression that she was speaking to an audience of policy experts rather than to working Americans—when she was not donning fake accents, that is. Her campaign’s struggles were not merely ideological; they were cultural. Many voters simply concluded that she did not understand their lives.

The pattern extends well beyond politicians.

Millions of Americans attend NASCAR races, pack country music concerts, and watch UFC fights. Elite commentators scoff and express bewilderment in response. Millions more display American flags, fill church pews, and worry about rising crime and open borders. Too often, the response from elite circles is not curiosity but contempt.

The Democrat Party once excelled at connecting with ordinary Americans precisely because it better understood their views. Franklin Roosevelt, known as a “traitor to his class,” spoke the language of workers because he wanted them to be part of the Democrats’ coalition for generations. Harry Truman connected with voters because he shared many of their instincts. Even Bill Clinton possessed an intuitive feel for middle-class anxieties and aspirations.

Today’s Democrat coalition increasingly draws its leadership from elite universities, media organizations, nonprofits, foundations, government bureaucracies, and professional-class enclaves. These institutions exercise enormous cultural influence, but they are not representative of America as a whole.

As a result, Democrats increasingly mistake the views traded in faculty lounges, newsroom editorial meetings, and Washington policy conferences for the views held around kitchen tables. That confusion helps explain their shock at one political surprise after another, especially Trump’s victories in 2016 and 2024.

Democrat strategists express astonishment after yet another batch of election results defies their expectations. Panels of “experts” search for explanations, and reports are circulated that blame political circumstances or voters’ various “isms.” But the possibility that the Democrats have lost touch with ordinary Americans is rarely, if ever, considered.

A political movement cannot represent people it does not understand. And it cannot understand the views of many Americans, whom it increasingly views with a mixture of confusion, suspicion, and disdain. For a party that still considers itself the party of the people, that is a major problem it has yet to reckon with.

And it is also a problem for America as a whole. A healthy republic depends on officeholders who can understand—and respect—the culture and traditions of their fellow citizens, even when they do not share them. When America’s governing and cultural elites lose the ability to see the nation as it actually is, they make poorer decisions, deepen political divisions, and erode the mutual trust on which self-government depends. A republic cannot long endure if those who wield influence come to view ordinary Americans not as fellow citizens to be understood but as strangers to be belittled and ignored.
