  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamas. Should
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: baseball players be forced to support Pride Night if it
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: goes against their religious beliefs? Well, let's ask our American mamas. Mama, Mama,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and joining us now our American mama, Terry Neederville. So
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's Pride month. It's everybody's got to be
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: proud this month. And in baseball, some of the teams
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: are putting rainbow logos on the jerseys and on the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: hats and stuff like that and making the players wear it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Should the players on a baseball team have to wear
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the logo or have to wear the rainbow on their
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: uniforms if it goes against their strongly held religious beliefs.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's interesting, isn't it. I would not think
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: that it would be okay to force any player to
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: put if they're not Christian or if they're not Muslim,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to put things on that represent the league that goes
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: against their own, you know, affiliation with whatever religion. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I will say this, I've been asked this a lot,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: actually the last couple of days. What I thought, And
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I will start by saying that I am one of
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the millions of Republicans that is for marriage equality. I am,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and it's something that I stand by. With that being said,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: when you force something like this on a player, I
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: don't understand these pride night sports leagues forcing their players
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to do anything that they're not comfortable with, especially when
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it's celebrating someone's sexuality, because it's silly to me. It
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to me. If you go back and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I've you know, some of the people that I listen
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to podcasters are gay and the Republicans and they and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: they've said, you know, we start off with them wanting tolerance.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: They wanted people to tolerate. It's turned into intolerance for us,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: for Christians, you know, to feel the way that we do.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And so they feel like it's just gone so far
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that we're going to push people away from their agenda
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: just feel like they're tolerated. Right, But there was a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: player that I sent you a clip of a player
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that spoke so beautifully with the way that I feel.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Do you have that I do? I've got this clip
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: ready to play the clip. Here we go.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of the hate comes from perceived negativity, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: without getting too off track, but like the Pride Night
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: stuff with the giants, Like I think that there's a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: perceived negativity with this stuff of Like Okay, landon Route
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: wrote a verse on his hat that means that he's
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: anti something. That doesn't mean that, right, it means that
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: he's pro something. Right, So the rainbow means something to him.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It means that he believes in the noe At Covenant
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: being something that's special to us as Christians. Right. That
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: means that no matter how bad we possibly could be,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: no matter how much we reject God, that he will
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: never again flood the earth. That's really cool. That's really special.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: And we do a lot of stuff and we're all sinful,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: we all do a lot of stuff and maybe worthy
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of a flooding, but God will never flood us. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: because of that promise, and his promises are unconditional. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that something's really cool to me is that there's nothing negative.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: There's nothing anti, there's nothing that says that he doesn't
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: support anything, or that he's like hateful or anything like
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: that at all. It's all positive. It's all like, man,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: this is what the rainbow means to me. And I
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: just thought that was really cool that he did.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: That and That's one of my complaints with the movement
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is the co opting of the symbol of the rainbow.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Because the rainbow was initially in Genesis, it was a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: sign of a covenant. Right. Doesn't mean that I'm opposed
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to anybody. I'm just saying, you're using a symbol that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: means something different than what you're using the symbol for.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: You've co opted the symbol, and they have either these
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: three players, two of them put Genesis nine, twelve through
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: sixteen right. The other one didn't. I don't think he
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: used I don't think he wore the hat at all.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But it was a quiet thing that was for them.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And the Scott Wiener, who's going for a Nancy Pelosi
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: seat in San Francisco, made the biggest steal. He put
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: this out there purposefully. What's so disturbing to me is
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that these guys, and it's coming from the MLB top,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: they're the head. They're being punished right for quietly suggesting,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: like this guy said, this is something that the rainbow
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: represents for them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So I just as I don't understand this Pride night,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I would think it was weird if they said tonight,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: we're gonna We're going to celebrate straight couples and what
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: they do in the bedroom. It's so strange to me.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: We can be for you can be for marriage equality,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you can be for my gay friends, you can be
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: for all of that, and still think that this is wrong,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that they should be punished and be made to do
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: something that's not comfortable to them.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand why I'm supposed to celebrate it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I don't why would you celebrate even us in the bedroom.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It's weird.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: There's there's not a Stephen Parday. Yeah, uh no, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: don't understand why. Maybe there should be, But I don't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: understand why I have to go and spend an entire
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: month mark through the streets saying yes, I'm in favor
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of men sleeping with men and women sleeping with women,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and that makes me an ellen. Why do I have
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to do that?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Sid Ziegler, who is the co founder
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of out Sports or out something like that. He's so disgruntled.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: He thinks that people should not ever go to another
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: San Francisco game. He feels like that this is the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: only way that they can be heard. No, we hear
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you and We appreciate you. We not only tolerate you,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: but fine, we live and let live, but also live
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and let live.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And understand the rainbow had a meaning before the gay right. Yeah.
