Summary

The York Revolution Minor League Baseball team forfeited their game on Thursday after players refused to wear the team’s Pride Night jerseys. The team scheduled their 11th annual Pride Night, but less than nine players on the 28-man roster were willing to wear the special rainbow-sleeved jerseys. The team chose to forfeit the game instead of forcing players to wear jerseys they were not comfortable with.


Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

Players refuse to wear Pride Night jerseys, and the team forfeits the game. The York Revolution prioritizes hosting the event over forcing players to wear jerseys they’re not comfortable with. The team donates $10,000 to the Rainbow Rose Center. Instead of holding the game, the team hosts a free admission event.

The routine arrives with confidence: “being uncomfortable” is now a valid reason to forfeit a game.
