Minor league baseball team cancels Pride Night game after players refuse to wear rainbows

Although I can't recall this happening with a sports franchise, it's happened with other businesses and even government agencies. Someone violates their contract to make some sort of right-wing point; they're terminated; they sue; they lose, but because some ideologue represented them at no cost, they spend nothing while the business spends enormously to defend itself. Or the business settles with the former employer, maybe losing less than if they'd gone to court, but still losing. And the former players get even more attention.
