    Wearing the logo was meant to show unity with the LGBTQ+ community and send the message that everyone is welcome at the ballpark. Yet some players were allowed to completely undercut that message, proving that there's still a long way to go for complete LGBTQ+ acceptance.

    Right narrative

    It would be great if we could return to a time when athletes weren't expected to delve into politics and could just focus on winning the game. Sports are neither the time nor place to be pushing an agenda, and no one should feel compelled or pressured into supporting something that goes against their beliefs.
