It has nothing to do with politics or the flag. Pitchers cannot have distracting items for the batter. White in the flag can be confused for the ball. It's literally in black and white in the MLB rulebook. Not everything is anti-American.
FOLLOW THE RULES
look above your post and tell me what you see.
hint it's an even bigger red and white patch on the back of the glove.

The "a" section of that rule states: "The pitcher's glove may not, exclusive of piping, be white, gray, nor, in the judgment of an umpire, distracting in any manner."
American flag is distracting, but all the other branding in red and white is not.

What happened is the Astros had to have something to bitch about.
If I were the plate Ump, I would take a look and decide "Play Ball!"
Then tell MLB to give an official ruling later. They'll change their minds several times anyway ....
