A number of Tampa Bay Rays players decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms as part of the team's annual "Pride Night" on Saturday that recognized the LGBTQ community.

Among players who elected to remove the logos were pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Adam was elected to speak for the group after the game, saying it was a "faith-based decision" for many of them.

"So it's a hard decision," Adam told the Tampa Bay Times. "Because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here. But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it's just a lifestyle that maybe -- not that they look down on anybody or think differently -- it's just that maybe we don't want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who's encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior.

Shameful, disappointing, and sad. Intolerant bigots sure like to out themselves lately.

It's weird that they're all relievers. 

Turns out that the Rays' success with relievers is good ol' Christianity. 

Also, that 2 run shot by Burger off Beeks yesterday feels even better.

All are welcomed and loved here... except for you.

That's some solid agape love and judge not work right there.

I like how these absolute morons think being gay is a "lifestyle choice." It's not a choice, jackasses.

The absolute shitstorm that would ensue if players could opt out of the military uniforms.
