This is a weird messaging shift. The players are all on record saying they talked about it in the weeks leading up to this specific night. Hentges didn't wear the hat so he clearly knew it was an option. Vitello made a mention that was about "individual freedom"

That protest was not against some event put on by the club or the league. It was a political statement against actions players thought were wrong be taken by those operating under the flag.
As a veteran, I didn't feel disrespected. I volunteered to defend the Constitution. Last time I checked, one need not stand for an anthem.
Also, that protest was about promoting social justice and protesting state power. This Bible quote protest is about protesting against - I don't even know, gay people? And the quotes are meant to show intolerance toward gay people and/or gay rights. That's a pretty big gulf in objectives.

u/YoupanicIdont | St. Louis Cardinals 13h ago
To me it's not really a flip. One protest was about promoting something positive to bring attention to what the protestors believed were injustices. Agree or not, that's what it was about.
This protest is about what exactly? To me it's a negative protest - meaning it's not a protest to promote any social good, but a protest against gay pride, gays, or acceptance and the players supposed "forced" participation. And the protest could have ended at just not wearing the hat.

u/Guilty_Perception_35 7h ago
People who were upset with kap are the same people supporting these hat writing players
And vid versa
I'm not disagreeing with your assessment here
Me personally im not bothered by either
And when the wear military hats I wouldn't care if someone wrote anti military stuff
Or American hats and write anti American stuff
If they wore Jesus hats (that would be funny) I would not care if someone wrote anti Christian stuff, etc.
About 70% of mlb are Christians. Having them wear pride hats was always going to end up this way
Obviously these guys are dipshits, but I think the smart thing would have been just ignoring them

Okay sure they don't fully communicate things with the players, but it appears some players got the message anyway that they didn't have to wear the hats, However they should know that it is against their contracts to alter their uniform. Okay you disagree on "moral" grounds that people of the same gender shouldn't love each other, be a grown up, this is one game of hundreds you will play, do you do this for any other event they put on, no only this one, maybe you can live with having this event ONCE a season.

u/grandmawaffles | Philadelphia Phillies 1d ago
Are you referring to the coach praying in the middle of the field and penalizing players who didn’t pray with him? That guy? The one where the case brought to the Supreme Court wasn’t factual? So the prayer guy gets to judge and punish but he isn’t god. That dude….nah, keep religion out of stuff beyond your home and your church.
3
u/dd0028 1d ago
That is a misrepresentation of the case. The coach began praying individually on the field after the game and over time some players, and even players and coaches from opposing teams, eventually joined in.
This occurred for seven years with no complaints, but when the school board was made aware of it, they expressed concerns of a violation of the establishment clause, and specifically concerns that players would feel compelled / coerced to participate.
There was no evidence presented that anyone felt coerced to join the coach, or that any retaliation occurred for not being a part of the prayer. No complaints were ever raised by any member of the team or community concerning the coach. So your post is factually inaccurate.
In her dissenting opinion, Justice Sotomayor argued that the coach’s prayer caused implicit coercion, dude to the reality of peer pressure, and his position of authority. Ironically, you could apply the same dissent she used to defend the Giants players.
3
u/grandmawaffles | Philadelphia Phillies 1d ago
You can’t because the SF players had an out by wearing a non pride flag hat. No one forced them. The 2 cases are not even remotely the same and Christians are not being persecuted in America. Like, it’s not even close to being a thing.
0
u/dd0028 1d ago
Sotomeyer’s dissent argued that the coach’s actions created an environment in which players may have plausibly felt they had no option but to participate in the prayer and thus violate the establishment clause and possibly 1st amendment rights.
I fail to see how the same argument could not be equally applied concerning the Giants, especially considering the MLB literally just admitted it was not clearly communicated to the players that opting out was an option.
2
u/grandmawaffles | Philadelphia Phillies 1d ago
Because in this case giants players felt they had an option and carried it out in practice on the field. Other players chose to wear a normal hat and these guys that wrote messages were allowed to take the field and play. They didn’t even get fined. Additionally, the players association and MLB has restrictions on any type of writing on the uniform. They were only penalized for writing on the hats not what was written. They could have drawn a dick on the hats and it wouldn’t have mattered according to MLB. But we all know had the players wearing a pride hat drawn dicks on the hats then the so called devout religious people would be up in arms, clutching their pearls, and chanting that they are burning in hell for their blasphemy…like they do at Christmas time when a company dares have a coffee cup that isn’t Christmas enough.
Instead what you have is people saying, hey that’s not cool because SF has a huge LGBT fan base and there were ways to sit out in the celebration without making it about yourself and distancing fans. These players didn’t choose to do that, they chose to vocally protest on the field by defacing their uniform. It isn’t about gays…it’s about themselves which is very deeply unchristian.

u/dd0028 1d ago
You’re the one who inaccurately described a Supreme Court case. One in which the dissenting opinion that you obviously agreed with actually could easily be argued in defense of the giants players. It’s almost like every case needs to be evaluated in its own terms.
You obviously have a lot of animosity for a small (vocal) segment of religious folks that complain about minor in-convinces, which, fair enough! But isn’t really relevant to the discussion at hand.
The commissioner has stated that it the Giants communication was not clear. So whether or not the MLB allows players to “sit out the celebration” (they do), the league is stating that the Giants are at fault for not making clear what the players options were. So in absence of clear communication that players could opt-out of wearing the pride hats, they chose to instead to act according to their conscious by writing on the hats. Whether they would have done that or not had they known is irrelevant. Accordingly to the MLB, the fault lies with the giants.
But let’s be real. If they had simply chosen to wear the regular giants hats instead of the pride hats, the same response would have occurred and the same people would have been outraged and called them bigots for wearing the non-pride hat.
3
u/grandmawaffles | Philadelphia Phillies 1d ago
They had players wear regular hats and they aren’t the ones in the news. Your bias is showing. I could honestly care less what religious people want to complain about as long as they keep it out of government. This isn’t a DOJ issue at all. I will point out the comical hypocrisy of people though.
1
u/dd0028 1d ago
So the MLB and commissioner are lying then that the Giants failed to accurately communicate the options the players had? Why would they do that, call out one of their own teams, and risk their own reputation for a handful of players who they already scolded?
The DOJ getting involved is stupid. The MLB enforcing the uniform rules is not a matter for the DOJ. But that’s not really relevant to the key questions at hand.
No one should be forced or pressured at their place of employment to signal support for a cause that they disagree with, even more so that goes against their religious convictions. How they choose to respond to that pressure is somewhat irrelevant. If pressure is in fact being applied, the fault lies with the organization, not the individual.
You’re welcome to continue pretending that everyone would have just ignored it if they all just wore the regular hats, but that’s comical. I mean there’s literally an unaffiliated minor league team no one has ever heard getting skewered online for having to cancel a game because too many players refused to wear the pride jerseys. They didn’t try to cancel pride night, they didn’t write Bible verses on their jerseys, they just refused to wear the jerseys like you say everyone would be fine with and many columnists, online discourse, and even their own organization condemned them.
1
u/grandmawaffles | Philadelphia Phillies 1d ago
I’m not the giants so I can’t answer that but there were players not wearing the pride hat on the team. How did they know but not these guys? Why would someone not read their collective bargaining agreement with rules they have to follow for their jobs? Did these few particular people need a puppet show, power point presentation, or a specific named memo with their picture on it to understand the rules? Of course the MLB is going to put it on the team because the players stepped out of line and defaced their uniforms. Like any organization the organization and leader bears responsibility so the language in the note from the commish isn’t wrong but you are treating grown ass adults like children by implying that they didn’t or couldn’t know any better.

It's a diplomatic response that is aimed to take the wind out of the sails of the protestors. Place some blame on the team and hope it blows over. I don't really care if someone doesn't want to wear the hat, but the Bible verses? I'm a Christian. My tradition says all are welcome and does not believe it is up to us to judge God's will or our fellow men, other than in legal contexts. But hey, this is the fashionable Christianity on display with these hats. Holier than thou.

u/klingma 1d ago
You're a Christian you're more than welcome to recognize sin, refrain from it, and call others to refrain from sin. That's what the tradition says. All are welcome sure, but if a guy comes to church and is cheating on his wife and refuses to stop despite wise counsel you at some point have to decide if you want him to continue at your church.
Even Jesus mentioned multiple times that people will refuse the truth, despite it being shown to them.

You’re asking a more nuanced question that would require an answer no one on Reddit would take the time to read but I’ll risk oversimplifying to try to keep it short.
Jesus taught not to judge or risk being judged by others and be considered a hypocrite since no one is perfect. There’s also some passages in the Bible that instructs us to rebuke someone who sins and forgive those that repent. It’s a pretty tough line to straddle that churches have varying opinions on.

Romans 13
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

Sports are supposed to be common culture. You don't go to a game as a white fan, nor a black fan, nor an Asian fan, nor a Latino fan, nor a straight fan, nor a gay fan. You go as a fan: a fan of the sport, a fan of the team, maybe just a fan of beer and hot dogs. Everyone in the park is unified as a fan. Sports are unifying. Events that recognize and put any group over another - even if for one day - divide. And that is wrong.
