An independent league baseball team in Pennsylvania has forfeited a game after many of its players refused to wear rainbow-colored Pride Night-themed jerseys.
The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball’s York Revolution forfeited to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on Thursday. As team officials later explained in a statement, ‘a number’ of its players objected to pariticipating in the club’s 11th annual Pride Night in observance of LGBTQ+ history and civil rights. Those players have not been identified publicly.
Good for them.
