00:00:30.000 For years, June looked like the American Ramadan, an entire month dedicated to the state religion
00:00:36.240 of LGBTQ politics, complete with mandatory observances across every major institution.
00:00:43.520 Gay men exposed themselves to children at parades while police looked on.
00:00:47.380 Transgender activists went topless on the White House lawn while Joe Biden declared 0.96
00:00:52.020 that transgender youth shaped the soul of America. 0.98
00:00:55.380 The spectacle was grotesque, but the LGBTQ movement kept winning, 0.90
00:01:00.820 and its radicals assumed that they could do whatever they wanted without consequence. 0.95
00:01:06.360 Donald Trump's 2024 victory shocked the cultural radicals who expected the country to keep swallowing the agenda.
00:01:13.700 Trump didn't end wokeness, but his mandate signaled a limit to what the public would tolerate.
00:01:19.140 Movies and television still push woke pieties, Democrats still advance insane views on child transition,
00:01:24.760 but the most outrageous excesses of Pride Month have begun to recede. 0.92
00:01:29.940 This June, far fewer institutions seemed eager to signal total loyalty to the Rainbow regime.
00:01:36.260 Professional sports remain one of the stubborn exceptions. 0.63
00:01:40.440 Hockey and baseball teams still drape their social media in rainbow colors and hold Pride nights at their stadiums.
00:01:48.420 On the surface, this makes little sense.
00:01:50.480 Sports audiences tend to be male, more conservative, and far less interested in radical LGBTQ propaganda than the professional class that runs the leagues.
00:02:00.100 Pride branding doesn't attract these fans. It alienates them.
00:02:03.860 So why keep doing it?
00:02:05.480 Well, because the point is not profit. The point is domination.
00:02:09.620 The league maintains their public worship of homosexuality because it irritates their middle American audience.
00:02:16.260 Hollywood did something similar with the Joker movie.
00:02:18.620 The first film made a fortune, but elites hated that disaffected young men embraced it.
00:02:24.040 So the sequel humiliated and destroyed the main character.
00:02:27.600 The studio cared more about punishing the audience than pleasing it, 1.00
00:02:30.980 and was happy to throw all of those profits in the trash just so they could enjoy torturing those rubes. 1.00
00:02:39.340 Want to see your rewards go further? 1.00

00:03:05.200 Visit shell.ca slash loyalty for full details.
00:03:09.120 Sports owners increasingly behave the same way.
00:03:11.660 They despise the people who made them rich and would rather lecture them than serve them.
00:03:15.820 Now, San Francisco is hardly a conservative stronghold, so no one should be surprised that the Giants held a Pride Night and required players to wear an LGBTQ-themed uniform.
00:03:26.900 The team redesigned its logo in rainbow colors and placed it on players' caps, as it's done before.
00:03:33.160 This time, a few players found a way to resist.
00:03:36.560 Pitchers Landon Roop, J.T. Brubaker, and Ryan Walker wore the required pride caps but wrote Genesis 9, 11-16 beside the logo.
00:03:46.760 The passage refers to God giving mankind the rainbow as a sign of his promise never again to flood the earth.
00:03:54.320 It was a very clever protest. The players wore the mandated symbol of the regime. 0.62
00:03:59.520 They didn't directly attack LGBTQ activists or the pride agenda.
00:04:04.120 They simply recontextualized the rainbow, turning a celebration of homosexuality into a reminder of God's love, covenant, and dominion.
00:04:12.420 The shift was subtle, but devastating. It seized the frame and subverted the intended message. 0.53
00:04:18.460 Activists were predictably outraged. They couldn't tolerate faithful Christians finding a tactful way to register dissent. 0.98
00:04:25.760 They demanded punishment and claimed that the players had politicized the event.
00:04:29.760 That complaint sounds absurd until you understand the real rule.
00:04:33.180 This isn't about hypocrisy. This is about hierarchy.
00:04:37.660 Pride Night itself is already obviously political.
00:04:41.400 Professional athletes routinely wear political messages for approved causes such as Black Lives Matter.
00:04:47.860 Leagues have no problem turning games into ideological performances when the message serves the left.
00:04:54.460 The issue isn't whether Major League Baseball should remain neutral.
00:04:57.900 The issue is that only one form of politics is allowed.
00:05:01.560 The warning to the Giants pitchers was an assertion of raw power over players and fans.
00:05:07.400 It told Christians that they may be forced to wear the symbol,
00:05:10.680 but they're not allowed to interpret it according to their own faith. 0.87
00:05:14.540 They may participate in the ritual, but they may not confess to a higher authority.
00:05:20.040 Major League Baseball understood its dilemma.
00:05:21.980 The protests were too careful to cast easily as hateful.
00:05:26.320 The players had worn the required uniform.
00:05:28.880 A severe punishment would look vindictive.
00:05:31.560 but the League also needed to placate activists who treat every Christian objection as heresy.
00:05:37.160 So the League chose the worst possible middle ground, as always.
00:05:41.120 It reportedly warned the three players that they had violated a rule
00:05:45.180 and could face consequences if they did it again.
00:05:48.300 Fans and Christians will see the warning as a bigoted attack because that's what it is.
00:05:52.760 LGBTQ activists will see it as insufficient punishment for disobedience 0.97
00:05:56.620 because every heretic must be burned.
00:05:58.960 the decision may also bring legal trouble major league baseball operates in florida and is subject
00:06:05.480 to that state's laws florida attorney general james uthmer noted on social media that the policy
00:06:11.740 appears to show religious discrimination by the league he warned that major league baseball would
00:06:16.720 be hearing from his office very soon good this is exactly why conservatives must obtain political
00:06:23.480 power and use it. Progressives will not stop discriminating against Christians. They will not
00:06:29.780 leave believers alone. They will demand submission, call it inclusion, and punish anyone who remembers 0.84
00:06:36.660 that the rainbow belonged to God before activists turned it into a corporate loyalty oath.
00:06:42.400 For too long, conservatives pretended the state could remain neutral while the left captured
00:06:47.300 every major institution. The fantasy is over. Someone will dictate the culture. Someone will
00:06:53.920 decide which beliefs are honored, which are tolerated, and which are punished. Look, the
00:06:59.500 Bible tells us that persecution will come and that enduring it is a virtue, but Christians should not
00:07:04.680 seek persecution as proof of virtue. They should seek victory as the proper end of political life.
00:07:11.700 if corporate sports leagues want to conscript players into pride rituals and punish faithful
00:07:17.960 dissent they should face lawsuits investigations and political consequences the rainbow is not
00:07:24.400 theirs it never was it's ours the lesson should be obvious by now neutrality never survives contact
00:07:32.180 with a militant faith if christians refuse to defend their symbols the regime will gladly steal
00:07:38.560 them and demand gratitude for the theft next June as well.
