In the United States, baseball players have refused to wear a jersey with the rainbow logo. A refusal that makes a lot of noise! melty tells you everything in this article.

A few weeks ago, the Parisian football player, Idrissa Gueye had refused to play with the rainbow flocked jersey for the day against homophobia. A subject which had also been mentioned in Touche Pas à Mon Poste and which had caused great tension between Matthew Delormeau and Gilles Verdez. To the point that the host of TPMP People left the set of the show in full live. From there, Matthieu Delormeau left Touche Pas at Mon Poste for 2 weeks. And a similar story just happened across the Atlantic!

Saturday June 4, 2022, five members of the Tampa Bay Raysthe Florida baseball franchise, refused to wear the colors of the community LGBTQI +during the match against the White Sox de Chicago. To justify the refusal to join this campaign, religious reasons were invoked. Matt Silverman, the president of the Tampa Bays Rays, however, made it known that this was a night where the LGBTQI + community should be “invited, welcomed and celebrated”. But the controversy took over.

The team’s pitcher explains the refusal to wear the colors of the LGBTQI + community

For this meeting, the players of Tampa Bay Rays then wore a classic outfit. And they insisted on explaining their choice via the team’s pitcher, Jason Adam. He declares : “It’s a tough call because we’ve all said we want them to know everyone is welcome and loved here. But by wearing it on their body, I think a lot of guys have decided that it’s a lifestyle that maybe they don’t want to encourage if they believe in Jesus, who encouraged us to live a lifestyle in which one abstains from this kind of behavior, just as Jesus encourages me, as a heterosexual man, to abstain outside the bounds of marriage. It’s no different. » The subject should certainly be mentioned in TPMP and we wonder if there will be a rematch between Matthew Delormeau and Gilles Verdez !
