The sudden controversy over the caps has rocked the sports world in recent days.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WARNS SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS PLAYERS FOR WRITING BIBLE VERSES ON PRIDE NIGHT HATS

It began on Friday during the Giants "Pride Night" game, as every player had to wear hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo, supposedly in support of the LGBTQ community.

Three Giants players wrote Bible verses on the caps. Pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker wrote "Gen 9:12-16."

Gen 9:12-16 is a passage from the Bible. The passage states that God established the rainbow as a perpetual token of the covenant made with Noah and every living creature. It goes on to state that when God sees the rainbow, He will remember His "everlasting covenant" to preserve all life on earth from another global flood.

Roupp, addressed his reasoning after the game, saying that the verse is about representing "God's covenant."

"It's just about God's covenant and a promise that he makes to us that, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy," Roupp told reporters. "That's just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I'm thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want ... and express what we want.

"There's no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand in. I believe in God."

Then on Tuesday, MLB officially issued a warning to those players against violating the rules and writing on their cap.

"The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations," said Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, in a statement.

MLB's warning has prompted backlash across social media, as actor Rob Schneider has promised to pay the fines any players incur by writing the passage on their hats. Schneider was born to a Jewish father and a Catholic Filipino mother.

"I will pay the fines for any MLB Christian player who wears a Bible verse on their uniform. MLB is ANTI-CHRISTIAN," the actor wrote on X.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier told MLB, "You’ll be hearing from my office soon.
