Okay - here's the pop quiz for today, class: Name all of the MLB players who've come out of whatever closet they were 'hiding' in. I'll wait here.
Major League Baseball has replaced its traditional logo across social media and digital platforms with a Pride-themed version for June, featuring the league’s iconic batter silhouette set against the colors of the Progress Pride flag as 'Pride Month' begins across the United States.
The annual logo change coincides with dozens of LGBTQ+ events planned by teams throughout the league, including Pride Nights, special merchandise giveaways, community partnerships, and fundraising efforts.
Yet the campaign also highlights a longstanding reality within professional baseball: despite years of inclusion initiatives, there are currently no publicly out active players on a Major League Baseball roster.
So - it bears the question - just who the fuck are they proud of, and why? Certainly, the vast majority of people in the stands aren't Moms and Pops and kids. It has to be all the queens sitting in the bleachers they want to be proud of.
This shit makes my brain hurt.
