The controversy enters the chat.

The San Francisco Giants players were warned about writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats, which sparked a controversy over religious discrimination. The Department of Justice is now investigating the matter, citing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Major League Baseball claims that the writing on the caps violates their uniform regulations.
