York Revolution baseball team forfeits Pride Night game after players refuse LGBTQ-themed jerseys

A Pennsylvania independent professional baseball team forfeited its Pride Night game Thursday after several players refused to wear rainbow-sleeved jerseys, with the organization blasting its own athletes in a pointed public statement. "This decision was not reached lightly," the team said in its statement, adding that "several of our players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey and the club decided that hosting the event is more important than forcing players to wear jerseys they are not comfortable with and playing the game."
