One night a year, Major League Baseball asks its employees to wear a hat to indicate to their audience, “hey, it’s okay if you are gay”.
Yea, it’s corporate gobbledy-gook but the players—many earning millions of dollars—one Gay Pride hat, one time a year, as a signifier all are welcome to come and spend their hard-earned money—significantly less money than the players make—is the tiniest of sacrifices MLB asks of its players.
3 pitchers on the Giants couldn’t do the least.
Major League Baseball gave a warning to Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker for writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats.
Loud warnings, considering the Giants players have an exemption from the rule. They had the option to wear normal, regular ball caps—same as any other game—but those 3 pitchers elected to wear and vandalize their pride hats for attention and to protest how unfair it is that gay people exist.
But in 2026, it’s not enough to just be a bigot.
No, everyone must know you are.
You must become the frontlines of the next meaningless, reactionary culture war.
The right-wing mediasphere always searching for new “victims” of woke—the next Riley Gaines, a young person to add to the Fox News quest list—creating new martyrs, acting as if wearing a different uniform at their job one day a year is a human rights violation.
Now, Donald Trump’s Department of Justice opened a probe into Major League Baseball’s mistreatment of its Christian players.
In Donald Trump’s America, anything outside of white, Christian and male is expendable.
They will erase Jackie Robinson’s legacy, unprovoked.
Masked men march the boulevards, racially profiling brown folks—stealing humans and sending them to parts unknown.
And now, they are attempting to strip Pride Month away because 3 players on the San Francisco Giants want to be the next Charlie Kirk but don’t want to do any of the hard work like mockingly claiming black people are responsible for all the gun violence nanoseconds before a white guy turns him into the ultimate throat GOAT.
I blame Buster Posey.
Buster Posey is a loser
In the midst of the hellstorm, team president Buster Posey scheduled a press conference to clear the air.
He began with a milqtoast word salad of nothingness for about 30 seconds before requesting only baseball-related questions—dodging the entire purpose of the fucking press conference.
My guy went up there like “Hey, I know some of our players alienated a bunch of our fans—in San Francisco, the gayest city ever—while simultaneously opening up a federal investigation in which, in the heart of our baseball season, players, coaches and front office staff will be answering questions about one random night in June because 3 pick-mes jumped off a ledge but let’s focus on the baseball, guys, even though none of us who work here are.”
Okay, let’s focus on the baseball, Buster.
The Giants are 33-46.
The 11th highest payroll in baseball, one of the most expensive rosters in the world, and they’re 13 games below .500, 18 games out of first place and their big star acquisition from last season, Rafael Devers, is having the worst season of his career, slashing .239/.301/.406.
Oh, and he, like the rest of his teammates, is a selfish prick, refusing to come out in the 9th inning for a pinch runner.

The Giants are 26th in runs scored with the 21st-ranked team ERA.
This team is dogshit top to bottom, on the field and off—building of narcissists, grifters, contrarians and losers.
7-time All-Star catcher Buster Posey, instrumental in the San Francisco Giants early 2010’s dynasty—3 titles in 5 years.
In September 2022, Posey joined the Giants 30-member ownership group.
Huge feat.
If more former athletes were allowed into ownership groups, they would be investing in ball teams instead of podcast mics.
This exclusive ownership club doesn’t allow the livestock to buy their way back into the top of the pyramid, but Buster Posey earned ownership of the Giants
In the interim, following the firing of GM Farhan Zaidi, Buster Posey helped negotiate 3B Matt Chapman’s 6-year, $151 million contract to stay with the Giants.
Bosey was hired as the new president of baseball operations 26 days later.
He’s since built a clubhouse full of repulsive personalities and hired a college coach with no Major League experience to wrangle up these neanderthals.
In 2014, the San Francisco Giants won their 3rd World Series Championship in 5 years.
12 years later, half the players are ChatGPT-ing bible verses to write on their caps, gay bashing for News Max clout, and Rafael Devers is throwing temper tantrums between strikeouts looking.
I grew up in a big Christian household, church every Sunday, watching mama catch the holy ghost.
No matter what church we visited, the message always seemed to be about building your own personal relationship with the lord.
No one told me being gay was bad. Shit, no single pastor ever even brought up homosexuality.
No one pulled me aside to tell me my faith and Christianity were under persecution by some amorphous “they”.
Using Christianity as a shield to hate gay people, pointing to a handful of select, out-of-context bible quotes, is peak cowardice.
I wish these narrow-minded, intellectually lazy propaganda devourers stood ten toes down, chest puffed, declaring, “I just don’t like gay people,” instead of using their faith as a shield like weaklings, unable to face the direct consequences of their own, decided bigotry—pretending to be helpless—nothing they can do, the bible says. It’s God’s word. Why would they go against that?
Buster Posey once said free agents don’t want to sign with San Francisco because of all the homelessness and crime.
Perhaps, no one wants to sign with the Giants because Buster Posey is a sniveling rat with no idea how to build a roster but, like every straight white conservative man with money in America right now, Posey is dripping with unearned confidence and a putrid worldview.
If y’all want to be Charlie Kirk so bad, go join him.
