Rob Schneider<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is showing his support for professional athletes who want to wear Bible verses on their team uniforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cDear professional baseball players, ANY player in ANY professional LEAGUE who is FINED by their league for refusing to be FORCED to participate in WOKE LEFTIST AGENDAS, who refuses to wear ridiculous uniforms (or cleats), @TPUSA and I will PAY any and ALL of your fines!\u201d Schneider, 62, wrote via X<\/span><\/a> on Thursday, June 18. \u201cYou signed a contract to play baseball, you didn\u2019t sign a contract to go against your deeply held Christian religious beliefs. Baseball is our National Pastime, not Drag Queen story hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

He signed the post with his name and Turning Point USA, which is the nonprofit organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk<\/span><\/a><\/strong> that advocates for conservative politics.<\/p>\n

Schneider has been an outspoken critic<\/span><\/a> of Major League Baseball after three San Francisco Giants pitchers \u2014 Landen Roupp<\/b>, J.T. Brubaker<\/b> and Ryan Walker<\/b> \u2014 wrote a variation of verse Genesis 9:12-16 on their Pride Night hats, which establishes a rainbow as the permanent sign of God\u2019s covenant with Noah and all living creatures on Earth.<\/p>\n

According to Sen. Josh Hawley<\/strong> (R-Mo.), the three players were reportedly \u201cissued warnings\u201d about the hats.<\/p>\n

In a statement, a Major League Baseball spokesperson said the organization\u2019s \u201croutine verbal warning\u201d to the Giants players had \u201cabsolutely nothing to do\u201d with what they had written on their hats specifically.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe respect players\u2019 right to free expression,\u201d the league said on Tuesday, June 16. \u201cWe have given the same warning numerous times in the past to players for messages such as \u2018Dad,\u2019 \u2018Happy Mother\u2019s Day, I Love Mom\u2019 and names of family members.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schneider, however, continues to criticize the MLB for how they allegedly treated the Giants players.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaseball players signed up to play baseball. What part of their contract says, \u2018Oh, you have to promote our leftist ideology that may be against your religious beliefs?\u2019\u201d he asked during a Tuesday appearance on Fox News Live<\/i><\/span><\/a>. \u201cWhy are they trying to make baseball gay? We have enough gay sports.\u201d<\/p>\n
