ESPN’s Sarah Spain this week slammed the handful of MLB players who refused to wear rainbow-colored pride night logos on their uniform as “bigoted,” and mocked religious reservations as “BS,” or bulls***.
At least five Tampa Bay Rays players, including pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs, and Ryan Thompson, refused to wear the pride-themed logo on their person, according to a report from the Tampa Bay Times.
