The Tampa Bay Rays players made changes to their team. So, they have started with some changes to their uniforms this Saturday. So they removed the LGBT Pride logo from their uniforms. However, in order to somehow mitigate this act of theirs, they declared that their team accept everyone.

It happened during the Pride Night celebration and as many as 5 pitchers opted for the standard uniform instead of the rainbow lettering uniform. One of them is Jason Adam, who stated that this decision was not easy for them, but they themselves do not support this lifestyle and don’t want to encourage it, as they are supporters of heterosexual relationships. With all this, they don’t condemn homosexual relationships and don’t treat such people down.

Whether their actions will have any consequences for the team is still unknown.
