Dhillon joined Newsmax on Thursday to discuss the controversy surrounding the Christian ballplayers from the San Francisco Giants who wore verses from the book of Genesis on their uniforms and the league’s potentially illegal actions following the incident. Under Title 7, she said, “It is illegal to treat employees differently… on the basis of protected characteristics, and religion is one of those characteristics,” she explained.She added that the treatment of Christian players “definitely could be the basis of an employment discrimination claim” if the MLB is not equally applying the rules to players who wish to have political messages like “Black Lives Matter” on their uniforms.!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v79ce7g","div":"rumble_v79ce7g"});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.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.“It’s just something I believe in, and I stand firm in that. Thankfully, we live in a country where we have the freedom to believe what we want,” he said.Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has since opened a Congressional investigation and on Tuesday demanded documents from MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred.“MLB has said this is a content-neutral policy and that MLB ‘respect[s] players’ right to free expression.’ But this is dubious, given that MLB is openly promoting a political viewpoint and possibly compelling adherence to that viewpoint,” Hawley noted in a letter to Manfred.UPDATE: Senator Josh Hawley Opens Investigation into MLB for Discrimination Against Christian Players for Proclaiming Their Faith on Pride Night – Calls Out League’s Hypocrisy/*!
