A number of Tampa Bay Rays players decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms as part of the team’s annual \u201cPride Night\u201d on Saturday that recognized the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash addressed the matter after Sunday’s game, and said discussions among the players over the past few weeks were constructive and emphasized the value of differing perspectives.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst and foremost, I think the organization has done a really good thing to have Pride Night’s supporting our gay community to come out and have a nice night at the ballpark,\u201d Cash said. “Impressed that our players have had those conversations and we want to support our players that choose to wear or choose not to wear to the best of our capabilities.”<\/p>\n
