The New York Mets are facing a rough patch following a controversial incident during their June 13 “Pride Night” at Citi Field. During the singing of the National Anthem, the stadium’s video board displayed an LGBTQ+ pride flag, drawing criticism from some fans and commentators who viewed it as inappropriate during a moment meant to honor the nation.
The Boston Red Sox held their annual “Pride” event on Monday night, requiring fans at Fenway Park to attend a “Pride Party” inside the stadium’s concourse featuring a live drag show. The team also distributed Pride-themed Red Sox hats and showcased drag performers during the ceremonial first pitch.
