San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp wrote “Gen 9:12-16” on his Pride Night hatMajor League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred responded to Missouri Senator Josh Hawley’s congressional investigation on Friday, doubling down on the MLB’s decisions to bar players from wearing Bible verses on their uniforms while allowing pride-themed uniforms to be worn. He further blamed the San Francisco Giants for “inadequate” communication with its players for the recent controversy. This comes after Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp and relief pitchers JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker stood up to the League’s liberal agenda being foisted upon players and fans by writing verses from Genesis on their hats.Roupp started on the mound with “Gen 9:12-16” written right next to the Giants logo on the special edition pride hat. He later told reporters that he wore the verse to share “God’s covenant and the promise that He makes to us” and “His faithfulness and His mercy.” Genesis 9:12-16 is where God establishes an “everlasting covenant,” symbolized by the rainbow as an eternal sign of His promise never to flood the Earth again.The players were subsequently threatened by the MLB for violating league rules. “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,” the MLB said in a statement on Monday.The MLB also faces probes from the Florida Attorney General’s office and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a formal probe into the MLB and issued a subpoena last week.Florida Attorney General Fires off Subpoena to MLB, Announces Formal Investigation into League’s Religious Discrimination Against Christians/*!
