MLB tried to bully these Christians into promoting something that is forbidden by their (our) religion but the backlash forced them to back down.
So often when Leftists attack if we would stand our ground we would win. Unfortunately people fear for their livelihoods and worry about being canceled and so just knuckle under - just as the Left planned. God bless (literally) these three valiant heroes.
They are rather like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the three Jews who were tossed into the belly of the furnace for refusing to worship Nebuchadnezzar and his gods. Only instead of a fiery furnace they were thrown into a media maelstrom and angry gay activists. Not as horrific perhaps but the situation was analogous.

Remember that the three Jewish boys were unharmed by the furnace's heat, whereas the men who had to put them into the furnace were killed by the heat. There ought to be a lesson here.

Yes, my point exactly Dana. And after Josh Hawley threatened to call MLB before Congress to explain themselves (remember, they have an exemption from anti-trust rules by gracious act of Congress) they suddenly had a Road to Damascus moment "I have seen the Liiiiigggghhhhttt brother!" The heat from that furnace was something they didn't want to test.
