York Revolution stated that the players’ decision not to wear Pride uniforms is “inconsistent” with the organization’s values.
A Pennsylvania minor league baseball team forfeited Thursday’s game after several players refused to wear special rainbow-themed uniforms for LGBTQ Pride night. York Revolution said that tickets to the game may be exchanged for any remaining 2026 season games.
The team was scheduled to face off against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.
York Revolution announced the forfeiture in a statement on its website, saying, “This decision was not reached lightly. Unfortunately, several of our players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey and the club decided that hosting the event is more important than forcing players to wear jerseys they are not comfortable with and playing the game.”
“As a result, and out of respect for the Pride Community and the York community as a whole, the York Revolution has decided that the game on Thursday, June 18, will be forfeited and that Pride Night will continue o as the feature element of the evening at WellSpan Park,” the statement continued.
