St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty blasted several Tampa Bay Rays players for refusing to wear the gay pride logo in Saturday’s game.
Flaherty steamed that the players’ decision was an “absolute joke,” as he criticized Rays Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs, and Ryan Thompson for refusing to wear the activist logo.

Agreed. If you went to a ‘pride parade’ and asked 10 political questions you’d get the same 10 answers from everyone. It is politics under a veil.
It’s an absolute joke that Jack won’t wear a “straight pride” or “heterosexual pride” or a “Christian pride” logo
Yesterday was the Solemnity of Pentecost in my church. Did baseball player multi-millionaires wear Red in solidarity with the Faithful’s symbolic wearing of red for that very Holy day in my Church? Of course not.
Didn't we just celebrate Military Appreciation Month?
So you have to be woke, full climate change, pro pride, pro bLM, pro maskateers, pro Ukraine, pro communist to be a ballplayer in the major leagues now?
[[Sounds like Jack Flaherty is a bigot who doesn’t respect people for who they are.]]
Yup- someone should report him to kathy hochul’s ny “hateful activities” panel.
Flaherty would best be served if he concentrated on staying off the IL. His baseball career is destined to be a short one. Cards have already missed the opportunity to get something of value for him. He has to resort to politics to stay relevant.
Sounds like he’s an Obama-style “on the down low” knob gobbler.
#8 Good one.
I would ask Jack Flaherty “At what age were you raped by your uncle”?
When Dims say “tolerance” they really mean submission.
“I’m sure they don’t care what I do in mine”.
That’s where you’re wrong. They care about everything you do, everything you think, everything you say and believe, and they want to control all of it.
Gays were never oppressed. When Western society valued religion, gay people understood that it was best for everyone to keep what they do private and discreet. It wasn’t the gays who started this LGBTQ crap. It was started by demonic, nihilistic, godless, globalist, marxists.
“It’s nobody’s business what people do in their own bedrooms” was the line they used to sell gay rights to the average person. It was a lie. The goal was always to have drag queens grooming children. And any gay person who agrees that that’s inappropriate will get throw under the bus and called a hater too.
The gays aren’t shoving this down our throats. It’s being shoved down our throats by the same people who shove BLM, climate change, internet censorship, illegal immigration, runaway government spending, and outsourcing of American
jobs down our throats.
There was a time when pro sports intentionally avoided talking about social issues because it was thought that different groups could be brought together through love of the game. Wiser heads prevailed at that time. Now its just more and more divisive behavior from high profile people. Its pretty sad that something as common sense as this policy continues to be left as a relic of the past.
Flaherty was adopted by Eileen Flaherty when he was three weeks old.[44] Flaherty is a Christian.[45] He is biracial and identifies as Black[46] and has been actively involved in supporting the Black Lives Matter movement

Let's just cut to the chase. If you want to be a gay activist then feel free to promote the cause. If people choose not to be gay activists then let them freely choose. Gay activism is a political movement of the secular humanists. People who worship the God of creation should be allowed to abstain from promoting the pro-sodomy movement! It is a grave sin to promote it. That is all, carry on.
Would this guy where a Cross on his uniform to celebrate Christianity? I kind of get the feeling he wouldn’t..
Jack is a California sissy and doesn’t really want to be in the “RACIST” Midwest. As soon as possible, he’ll take his fragile body west to the Dodgers, Padres or Giants.
I’ve been waiting for an athlete to influence me with their virtue signaling activity.

Jack must be a butthurt fag 🤪
