The Tampa Bay Rays celebrated their 16th Pride Night celebration on Saturday at their game against the Chicago White Sox. But as the team was encouraging inclusiveness in society, the idea was far from unifying in the Rays clubhouse.<\/p>\n
Several Rays players, including pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson declined to wear the special caps with a multicolored Tampa Bay logo, opting instead for their everyday ones. <\/p>\n
The team also added a rainbow sunburst to the uniform sleeve for the game, similar to what the San Francisco Giants have done in support of the LGTBQ community. Players and staff were not required to participate, and several chose to remove the decal.<\/p>\n
