Florida AG probes MLB over Pride Night uniform protest

Summary

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an investigation into Major League Baseball, asserting claims of religious discrimination following incidents during events related to LGBTQ Pride night. The inquiry was sparked by three San Francisco Giants pitchers who wrote Bible verses on their Pride caps, reportedly violating league apparel regulations. Uthmeier's office issued a subpoena for MLB to produce records related to uniform enforcement and regulations by July 23. The attorney general criticized MLB for allowing other ideological messages while reprimanding expressions of faith, which he labeled as non-neutral enforcement of rules. MLB has not yet commented on the investigation.
