MLB teams celebrate Pride Month as sports radio remains silent

On June 1, MLB teams commenced celebrations for Pride Month, with 29 of 30 parks planning Pride Night games. Teams, like the San Francisco Giants, actively recognized the LGBTQ+ community through social media and promotional events. In contrast, local sports radio stations, including KNBR and 95.7 The Game, did not mirror this engagement, leading to critiques about their disconnect from community initiatives. The disparity highlights a broader pattern of sports radio lacking participation in significant cultural observances.
