York Revolution Forfeits Game Due to Player Refusal to Wear Pride Jerseys

The York Revolution, a minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania, announced it will forfeit a game scheduled for June 18 against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs after several players refused to wear special jerseys for Pride Night. The team stated that it decided not to require players to wear the jerseys, prioritizing the Pride Night celebration over the game. The game will be recorded as a forfeit, and tickets will be treated as a rainout, allowing exchanges for other regular-season home games. Additionally, the team will donate $10,000 to the Rainbow Rose Center, an LGBTQ advocacy organization. The center expressed disappointment over the game cancellation but appreciated the continuation of Pride Night, which will include music and batting practice. The team has not disclosed the names of the players who declined to wear the jerseys or any potential disciplinary actions.
