Reporters on Tuesday night pressed San Fran manager Tony Vitello about the recent \u201cPride Night\u201d fiasco, where players were pressured to wear gay pride rainbow-logo hats. When a reporter suggested Vitello was somehow disrespected by Christian ball players who added Bible verses to their hats, he refuted the journalist.<\/p>\n

The reporter argued that because the Christian players didn\u2019t tell Vitello they were going to write on their hats, it was an act of \u201cdisrespect to the manager.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see that as a disrespect to me to be honest with you,\u201d Vitello responded, adding that what would be disrespectful in his view would be players not giving it their all on the field for their teammates. \u201cI have not been disrespected in this role, at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

From players writing on their Pride Night hats without him knowing to the Rafael Devers incident, Tony Vitello feels no disrespect whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Buster Posey, the Giants\u2019 president of baseball operations, also shared a vague statement about the Christian players, and then refused to answer questions about anything other than \u201cbaseball.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to recognize that the organization has shared its response to \u2018Pride Night,\u2019 and I understand that there\u2019s strong feelings on this topic,\u201d Posey said, before taking questions from the media. \u201cThere\u2019s differing perspectives, and out of respect to everybody involved, it\u2019s not something that I\u2019m going to revisit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reporters continued to press Posey about the Christian players, stressing that they believe the LGBT community is vital to the San Fran area. Posey, time after time, told the press that he\u2019d only take \u201cbaseball questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The response online was generally positive from apolitical and conservative X users, who criticized the media. However, as California-based civil liberties attorney Laura Powell highlighted, the controversy started because the Giants chose to host a \u201cPride Night.\u201d<\/p>\n
