The Morning Rant: MLB's Hatred Of Traditional America Continues Apace!

Hatred of religion is a hallmark of the progressive mindset that has engulfed Major League Baseball. Well, not all religions...just the ones that Americans prefer. Islam is conspicuously absent from the mockery and marginalizing that MLB prefers as its corporate ethos. Remember the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? Yeah...the vile drag group that revels in insulting Christianity, in part by dressing as outrageous nuns? No hint of them dressing as an imam, or Mohamed? I wonder why! But MLB loves them!

Maybe the marketing wonks in the front offices think that there is a vast untapped market for professional baseball among America's homosexuals. How else does one explain the fixation on all things gay? Or maybe there is an equally vast but closeted contingent of gay players who secretly demand recognition but are too enamored of their endorsements to come out of the closet?

Or maybe Occam's Razor applies here, and MLB and the teams are simply overwhelmingly leftist, and they just love sticking a thumb in the eye of traditional America, no matter that it is traditional America who buys their tickets and jerseys and bobble-heads.

Major League Baseball warns San Francisco Giants players for writing Bible verses on Pride Night hats

Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their "Pride Night," with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo.

Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats. One, starting pitcher Landen Roupp, addressed his reasoning after the game, saying that the verse is about representing "God's covenant."

Hilariously and predictably, MLB has lashed out! Never mind that a "Pride Night" is an overtly political statement, and making the players wear those horrid and insulting logos is imposing MLB's political and social stance on the players, making the league's warning explicitly hypocritical.

Per The Athletic, an MLB official has now "warned" those players against violating the rules and writing on their cap.

"The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations," said Pat Courtney, MLB's chief communications officer, in a statement.

Baseball is busily taking a national sport that printed money and turning it into a regional sport with a fair number of struggling franchises. If they think that embracing progressive politics that are antithetical to traditional American culture will save baseball's fortunes...they are wrong.
