Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw added a Bible verse to his LGBTQ+ Pride-themed hat—and sparked backlash and debate among fans.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was criticized after he added a Bible verse to his LGBTQ+ Pride-themed hat that featured the team's logo.

The verses from Genesis 9:12–16 recount God’s covenant with Noah, using the rainbow as a symbol of His promise never to flood the earth and destroy all life again.

They read:

""And God said, 'This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations.'"
"I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth."
"When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds."
"I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh."
"When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

Kershaw was criticized after the photo of his hat went viral.

 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 


 
 

Kershaw is a devout Methodist. In 2012, he and his wife, Ellen, co-authored Arise: Live Out Your Faith and Dreams on Whatever Field You Find Yourself, a book reflecting on their Christian faith and humanitarian work.

In 2023, he announced plans to relaunch the team’s Christian Faith and Family Day. The announcement followed controversy surrounding the Dodgers’ decision to invite, uninvite, and ultimately reinvite the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence—a philanthropic group of self-described queer and trans “nuns”—who were being recognized for their community service.

At the time, Kershaw said "we are grateful for the opportunity to talk about Jesus and determined to make it bigger and better than it was before COVID." His remarks sparked criticism from LGBTQ+ fans and supporters alike.

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.

Everyone Had The Same Response After Karoline Leavitt's 'My Own Two Eyes' Claim About Donald Trump

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was widely mocked after she claimed with no sense of irony whatsoever that there is no "harder working President" than President Donald Trump and referring to him as the "Peacemaker-in-Chief."

Trump has spent nearly 40 of his first 175 days in office on the golf course, with taxpayers footing the $26 million bill for those trips as of March 29. A portion of that money goes directly into his own pocket, as many of the outings have taken place at his own resorts.

Proving once again that no low is too low, the Republican Party is actively fundraising off MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's and Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis' joint project to create a migrant concentration camp in the Florida Everglades on unceded Indigenous land.

Distastefully dubbed Alligator Alcatraz—a take on the nearby Miccosukee Tribal Nation reservation Alligator Alley—by the Trump administration, the name has proven popular among Trump's MAGA minions, with his fans flocking to the site for photos with its sign.
