The sudden controversy over the caps has rocked the sports world in recent days.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WARNS SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS PLAYERS FOR WRITING BIBLE VERSES ON PRIDE NIGHT HATS
It began on Friday during Gigantic “Pride Night” game, as each player had to wear hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo, ostensibly in support of the LGBTQ community.
Three Giants players wrote Bible verses on the cap. Pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker wrote “Genesis 9:12-16.”

Genesis 9:12-16 is a passage from the Bible. The passage says that God established the rainbow as an eternal sign of the covenant made with Noah and every living creature. It goes on to state that when God sees the rainbow, he will remember his “eternal covenant” to preserve all life on earth from another global flood.
Roupp, addressed his reasoning after the game, saying the verse is about representing “God’s covenant.”
“It’s just about God’s covenant and a promise he gives us, as you know, his faithfulness and his mercy,” Roupp told reporters. “That’s just something I believe and I stand by that and I’m thankful that we live in a country where you know we have the freedom to believe what we want … and express what we want.
“There’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for and what I stand for. I believe in God.”
So on Tuesday, MLB officially issued a warning to those players against breaking the rules and writing on their caps.

“The writing on the cap violates our rules, and in accordance with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,” Pat Courtney, MLB’s director of communications, said in a statement.
MLB’s warning has sparked backlash across social media, with actor Rob Schneider pledging to pay the fines incurred by any player who writes the passage on their hats. Schneider was born to a Jewish father and a Catholic Filipina mother.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier told MLB, “You will be hearing from my office soon.
