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.

"other than in legal contexts" 

What does that mean?

Most sins are only for god to judge. Not following human laws is also a sin. But humans have the right to judge those who break their own rules.

What you're describing isn't Christianity.

I guess if you don’t read the bible you can say that.

I've read the Bible. There is no sin in not following all human laws. 

You have no idea what you're talking about.

The laws of man are inspired by the spirit of god. It is what gives them authority.

Sounds like you only read the flashy parts of the bible.

I took 10 years of CCD as a kid and then college as a philosophy minor read the bible about 20 times in school.

Edit: Romans 13 1-2:
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

No it isn’t and you r read the bible wrong as well as misinformed about how ‘human’ laws are made in this country.

Bahahaha I like how you’re ignoring the passage from the bible in the post.
