For years, the widespread promotion of the LGBT social ideology has been prominent. Corporations have funded festivals celebrating homosexuality and even the body-mutilating “transgender” beliefs.

Athletic teams routinely have ordered players to have LGBT-promoting displays on their uniforms.

But recent studies show that corporate sponsorship of the agenda is plummeting, public acceptance is declining quickly, and now one minor league baseball team has discovered, the hard way, that its players just aren’t going along.

It is the York Revolution that has announced its “pride” game was canceled, as the players “refused” to wear the rainbow jerseys the team had demanded.

A report from WGAL said the team announced it is forfeiting its game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.

Because players rejected the team’s “Pride Night” jerseys.

The Pennsylvania club said in a posted statement it was with “great disappointment” that the decision was made, and it will instead hold a “free admission event” marking “Pride.”

Baseball fans who bought tickets can use them at another game.

The team preached about how it was more important to be “hosting” the Pride event than to be playing a game.

“Out of respect for the Pride Community and the York community as a whole, the York Revolution has decided that the game on Thursday, June 18 will be forfeited and that Pride Night will continue on as the feature element of the evening at WellSpan Park,” the team said. “We feel that this is the best way to stay consistent with our long-standing partnerships with the Rainbow Rose Center, JLS Automation and the long list of allies that have always been key partners of the York Revolution’s success in York, Pennsylvania.”

Further, the team said it would give $10,000 to the “Rainbow Rose Center” to push harder to make York “inclusive.”

WGAL pointed out that Atlantic League bylaws require players to wear “matching uniforms.”

The team’s general manager, Ben Shipley, wants “understanding” from the community because of the difficulties the team faces with “difficult dynamics and complex problems without a clean solution.”

Several Major League Baseball players have come under fire from leftists in that league in recent days for writing a Bible verse on their “Pride” logo hats, explaining the meaning from the Bible of the rainbow imagery.

That’s that God used the rainbow to promise he would not again destroy the earth with a flood.

MLB officials responded with threats that Bible messages written on caps would be censored, while LGBT promotions on those same caps would be allowed.
