DOJ Targets MLB’s Pride Night Policy

from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Justice Department is investigating MLB after three Giants players refused to wear rainbow caps for Pride Night, opting instead to write Bible verses on them — citing religious objections. The DOJ claims MLB may have violated Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act by failing to reasonably accommodate their beliefs, potentially punishing them for religious expression. While MLB says the issue was about uniform rules, not the message, the DOJ points to past allowances for social justice patches, arguing MLB’s policies may mask discrimination. The case has been referred to the EEOC for investigation, signaling a major federal push to protect religious freedom in professional sports.
