York Revolution Forfeits 1 Pride Night Game as Players Refuse LGBTQ Jerseys

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 18

Summary

  • Thursday’s Atlantic League game against Southern Maryland was forfeited after some York Revolution players refused to wear Pride Night jerseys with rainbow sleeves.
  • York said the holdouts’ decision was “completely inconsistent” with its vision and announced a $10,000 donation to the Rainbow Rose Center after canceling the 11th annual Pride Night game.
  • WellSpan Park will still host a free Pride celebration, and fans can exchange tickets for another 2026 regular-season home game, subject to availability.
  • The team did not identify the players or say whether further discipline is coming; the forfeit follows MLB warnings to San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on Pride hats last week.
