## Resource

During a San Francisco Giants home game this month dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community, four pitchers drew attention for their protest of the team’s themed rainbow uniform. One player opted out of wearing the uniform entirely, while three others doctored their hats with a bible verse that has been used by some Christian groups to “reclaim” the rainbow. Major League Baseball issued a warning to those players that writing of any kind on uniforms goes against league rules. That, in turn, led to the Department of Justice opening a civil rights investigation into whether the MLB is discriminating against the players’ religious rights. Amidst it all, many San Francisco Giants fans have felt betrayed by a team that has long stood by its hometown LGBTQ community. We’ll talk about the controversy, its fallout and how you’re responding. Guests: Ann Killion, sports columnist, San Francisco Chronicle Alex Simon, sports editor, SFGate Bradford William Davis, reporter and cultural critic, sports newsletter [eyeblack] Andrea Fernandes, vice president of marketing, Golden State Valkyries Learn more about your ad choices.
