"The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be." MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is pushing back after Sen. Josh Hawley accused the league of targeting San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verse references on their Pride Night hats. In a letter to Hawley, Manfred said the players received only a "routine oral warning" related to MLB's uniform policy and stressed that no fines or discipline were issued. He also said the league later learned the Giants had not clearly informed players they could opt out of the Pride-themed cap and wear a standard game cap instead. The dispute has become the latest flashpoint in the debate over religious expression, Pride events, and professional sports.
