Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Five Tampa Bay Rays pitchers removed 🏳️🌈 logo from their uniforms during annual Pride night.
Jason Adams says: “Maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle to abstain from that behavior.”

Well, it looks like some people are to the point where they’re willing to take a risk to stand up against analism.
In an effort to make their commitment [to the LGBTQ+ community] more visible, the Rays this year decided to follow the lead of the Giants and add rainbow-colored logos to their Pride Night uniforms, to the “TB” on their caps and a sunburst on their right jersey sleeves.
In doing so, the team learned that not all players wanted to be included. No exact breakdown was provided, but well more than half the players appeared to participate. Pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson were among those who did not, electing to peel off the burst logo and wear the standard hat.

“A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision,” Adam said. “So it’s a hard decision. Because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here. But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior, just like (Jesus) encourages me as a heterosexual male to abstain from sex outside of the confines of marriage. It’s no different.
“It’s not judgmental. It’s not looking down. It’s just what we believe the lifestyle he’s encouraged us to live, for our good, not to withhold. But again, we love these men and women, we care about them, and we want them to feel safe and welcome here.”
It’s way too little way too late – but I’ll take it.

Ron DeSantis is also pushing back against the Rays for demanding gun control – he’s cutting their funds.
Our governor draws the line.

In Florida, we will not be subsidizing professional sports teams OR political activism. pic.twitter.com/VOk7FyWO1a— Bryan Griffin (@BryanDGriffin) June 3, 2022
Florida is the only place anybody ever wins, despite the fact that the state is half blue.
