Summary
JD Vance jumped into the Giants’ Pride Night dispute after MLB warned four San Francisco players that writing on or refusing the special rainbow cap violated league rules.
MLB said the altered hats broke its uniform policy after Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker wrote Bible verses on their caps and Sam Hentges wore a standard cap instead.
Vance responded on X with, “Trump won we don’t have to do this anymore,” without elaborating; neither Trump nor the White House issued further comment.
The players said their actions reflected religious beliefs rather than hostility toward LGBTQ+ people, while the Giants said the choices caused “pain and anger” and reaffirmed support for Pride Night and inclusion.
