Justice Department opens civil rights probe after Giants’ Pride protest

An investigation into Major League Baseball by the United States Department of Justice into possible discrimination against four San Francisco Giants players has been opened after they wrote Bible verses on their hats during the team's Pride Night.

On June 12, three Giants pitchers, Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker, broke MLB protocol by altering their uniforms with Bible verses on their Pride Night caps, which featured a rainbow Giants logo. And another pitcher, Sam Hentges, did not even wear his Pride Night hat. The players received a warning from MLB for violating the uniform policy. 

The DOJ said it was referring Major League Baseball to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in a letter written to Commissioner Rob Manfred.

So let me get this straight! They say it is their religious right to discriminate against others... just like they did with in the Jim Crows are. They believed that the Bible said it is okay to hate their neighbors but on 

"The three players expressed their opposition to MLB's pro-Pride orthodoxy," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in the letter. "The Civil Rights Act prohibits MLB and its franchises from unreasonably burdening the rights of players with religious objections to serving as the League's vehicle for pro-Pride messages.

So they are hiding the bigoty behind their religion! "Oh it's against my religion to treat everyone equal!"

How many times have you been to a game when it was some "night or other" for Oracle Park some of the other notable ones include:

• Mexican Heritage Night – June 23
• Irish Heritage Night – June 24
• Italian Heritage Night – July 28
• Native American Heritage Night – August 28
• Filipino Heritage Night – September 8
• Fiesta Gigantes (Latino-themed celebration) – multiple dates during the season

So the real question is: Is the DOJ going after all the other "special nights" or are they just going after Pride night, if so isn't that discriminatory? Just about all sports teams have "special nights" even the Hartford Yard Goats have a Pride night!

This is nothing more then an attempt to intimidates sports teams into not holding Pride events.

I am reminded the lyrics from the song "One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)"

Go ahead and hate your neighbor

Go ahead and cheat a friend

Do it in the name of Heaven

You can justify it in the end

There won't be any trumpets blowin'

Come the Judgment Day

On the bloody morning after

One tin soldier rides away

It seems all these religious people forget this...

“He answered: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” – Luke 10:27

It seems to me, all these super Christians have failed that command.
