The York Revolution, an independent minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania, forfeited its Pride Night game after several players refused to wear commemorative rainbow-colored jerseys.
The team announced that while the game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs would not be played, the club would continue with its 11th Annual Pride Night celebrations at WellSpan Park.
The decision drew attention after the organization publicly distanced itself from the players' actions, saying they did not reflect the club's values.
The team stated that requiring players to wear the uniforms against their wishes would have conflicted with the purpose of the event.
The York Revolution criticized the players' refusal, emphasizing that the club remained committed to supporting the LGBTQ community.
The organization also announced a $10,000 donation to a local LGBTQ community center as part of its Pride Night initiative.
