Major League Baseball and the San Francisco Giants are facing mounting pressure following backlash over three players writing Bible verses on special Pride Night caps.
During a press conference, Giants President Buster Posey declined to address the controversy in detail, saying the organization would focus on baseball and refusing to take questions on the issue.
MLB has said players are not allowed to alter their uniforms. The decision has prompted the Justice Department to examine whether the policy could amount to religious discrimination.
On Monday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred placed responsibility on the Giants organization, citing a lack of clear communication with players.
