What's happening with the big controversy about the SF Giants pride rainbow colored hats?

I just heard the Trump administration is going to investigate whether the religious rights of the players were violated because they were told they couldn't wear one time messages on their uniforms yet players were allowed to wear one time BLM patches on their uniforms.
The SF left wing media is acting like it's fu*ked up that Trump is supporting the players who refused to wear the pride rainbow colored SF Giants hat or who wore them but wrote Bible verses on them.

I’m a conservative, but unlike the alphabet army, I think the best way to protest is to do your own thing, as Roupp did. Let the MLBPA reps handle it. No need for Trump to get involved.

I don't know anything about BLM patches but one of the SF giants just wore his normal hat and he wasn't reprimanded. It was only the guys who wrote stuff on their hat.
I assume MLB just doesn't want people writing all kinds of shite on their hat, which is valid, but then again their argument loses luster with the whole dumb pride uniform thing to begin with.

Manfred is trying to ruin baseball with this Pride nonsense and then on top of that pulling out of Atlanta for the All Star game for some other nonsense.

I just heard on the local news one player refused to wear the rainbow pride hat and two players wore the rainbow pride hat but wrote a reference to a Bible verse on it. The two players were reprimanded for wearing a one time only message on their uniform because supposedly there is a rule against wearing one time only messages on your uniform. However, in the past players were allowed to wear a one time only BLM patch on their uniform.
I am glad the Trump administration is getting involved because I think if players were allowed to wear a one time only BLM patch on their uniform then the players should not have been reprimanded for wearing a one time only reference to a Bible verse on their hats.

BLM patches are dumb but I can see an argument when those two situations are not exactly comparable, especially if MLB was the one who produced the patches and they were uniform for everyone.
I'm not defending the pandering of BLM patches, only saying i can see a line of thinking where its not quite the same as people putting whatever they want with chalk on their hats.

They wore the hats to push merchandise. Same thing they do with camo for Armed Forces weekend, flag material for July 4 and cancer awareness on Mother's and Father's Day. I see this is as more about MLB trying to make a buck anyway it can, which is why they produced these and asked the players to wear them. Any merchandise worn by players usually gets people more motivated to buy it, regardless of what it is.
And I also think it's crap to threaten the players because they put Bible verses on them.

GAY pride is purely political and is in stark opposition to legitimate religious and cultural values

I don't disagree with your logic but what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Once MLB let players wear a one time only political BLM patch on their uniform they shouldn't reprimand a player for wearing another type of one time only political message on their uniform when the player is being told to wear a one time only political message on their uniform that they don't agree with.

MLB definitely created this issue and I wouldn't lose sleep if it blew up in their face.

Low test beta male cucks whining that a few guys don’t want to hear about their penis addictions. Sad what society has become.

In all seriousness... they were reprimanded? Whoop de doo. What happens if they do it again? A stronger reprimand? Perhaps a good finger wagging?
Is it stupid that they were reprimanded? Absolutely. Does it mean a damn thing that they were reprimanded? Nope.

Three reprimands, and you'll receive a citation. Five citations, and you're looking at a violation. Four of those, and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning. Two of those, that will land you in a world of hurt, in the form of a disciplinary review, written up by MLB, and placed on the desk of their immediate supervisor.

I am pretty sure the mlb rulebook specifically says nothing can be handwritten on any part of the uniform. And I get that. NFL is also very strict. I think it also states that players may just wear regular uniform attire if they don't want to participate in the promotion.
However there is one part of Twitter that swears Kershaw wrote something on his hat in the playoffs one time and didn't get in trouble, so people are up in arms over that.
Either way, MLB and the Alphabet Soup brigade come off looking like assholes, which is about what is normally expected.

Do we know that MLB didn't say something to Kershaw? Maybe they did but it just didn't make the news cycle.

Maybe they did and he didn't give a crap.

Do people actually buy this gay stuff? I've seen plenty of camouflage and Americana team gear in the wild. Don't recall ever seeing a proud sodomite repping his favorite sports team's ball cap.
I'm convinced there are entire third-world villages that are obliviously decked out in rainbows after the overstock gets donated there, like those boxes of t-shirts the losing teams have pre-printed that say "Champions!"

I can completely understand that MLB doesn't want players writing anything on their caps. That rule needs to be enforced 100% of the time.
I was also glad that the MLB office, didn't warn the player that wore his regular cap. The original ap news articles weren't clear on that.
