Summary

On today's episode I examine the backlash from the Tampa Bay Rays "Pride Night" this past Saturday. Five players decided not to wear the rainbow patch on their sleeve and rainbow hats. They cited it was a faith-based decision. On this episode I look into what this was really about and some of the criticism that the Rays and players have endured the past few days.
