York Revolution were celebrating Pride Night
MLB players have also pushed back on Pride
A professional baseball team has chosen to forfeit a game after some of its players refused to participate in the club’s Pride Night.
York Revolution had arranged for players to wear uniforms with rainbow sleeves during their game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on Thursday as part of the team’s 11th annual Pride Night. However, the Revolution said several players had refused to wear the jerseys and the club cancelled the game. The team instead made the night “a free and fun celebration of recognition and inclusion”.
