Missouri attorney general calls on MLB not to discipline players over Pride Night protest

The league said the players were warned for violating uniform rules, not for their religious message, as the dispute drew support from a broadcaster and Missouri's attorney general.

  • Several San Francisco Giants players wrote Bible verses from Genesis 9:12-16 on their Pride Night caps, leading Major League Baseball to warn them for violating uniform policies.
  • California State Senator Scott Wiener supported MLB's warning, stating it was about uniform rules and not opposing religious expression, while criticizing the players for defacing their Pride caps.
  • Missouri Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway threatened to investigate MLB if it disciplines players for refusing Pride gear or for writing Bible verses on Pride hats, citing concerns about religious liberty and potential discrimination.
  • U.S. Senator Josh Hawley and Vice President JD Vance criticized MLB's enforcement of uniform policies, accusing the league of discrimination against Christian players expressing their faith and engaging in a culture war against LGBTQ issues.
