UPDATE: At least 4 San Francisco Giants players protested Pride Night on Friday vs Chicago
1. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride hat
2. Reliever Sam Hentges refused to wear the Pride hat (just like Blake Treinen)
3. Reliever JT Brubaker wrote Genesis 9:13-15 on his Pride hat
4. Reliever Ryan Walker wrote a message on the side of his Pride hat was unreadable on the broadcast
*I couldn't tell on the broadcast if outspoken Christian Robbie Ray protested as well
Well done, gentlemen. You've set a great example for other Christian athletes 👏
Long ago I was asked if I would stop my criticisms of The Passion Translation if they changed the name to reflect that it isn’t really a translation.
I said no. But I might be willing to reconsider that.
If they named it after the author we could have a deal. Allow me to suggest that they name it after Brian Simmons to correctly distinguish that it’s his product and not the result of translating. This could communicate the value of the work well and avoid the confusion Brian has so far created.
I hereby suggest “The BS Version” as a working and accurate title.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is just and endowed with salvation,
Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
And the bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak peace to the nations;
And His dominion will be from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
- Zechariah 9:9-10
