The San Francisco Giants and Major League Baseball (MLB) face scrutiny from federal authorities over players displaying Bible verses on their caps during a Pride Night game. Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, stated that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will investigate potential violations of the Civil Rights Act following complaints about perceived religious discrimination. The controversy erupted when Giants pitchers wrote a Bible reference on their hats, leading to MLB warnings that were defended as unrelated to the religious content. Dhillon criticized the league for a double standard, citing prior allowances for messages like “Black Lives Matter,” while Republicans and local officials expressed strong reactions to the situation.
