Their players refused to wear Pride Night jerseys. So this team chose to forfeit instead.

Minor league baseball’s York Revolution declined to play it’s Pride Night game in Pennsylvania and opted to forfeit after players refused to wear rainbow uniforms.

Minor league baseball’s York Revolution declined to play its Pride Night game on Thursday after players refused to wear uniforms that featured a rainbow design, team officials said.

The Revolution’s game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs was going to mark the Pennsylvania team’s 11th Annual Pride Night, but players refused to don special jerseys that had rainbow sleeves.

Thursday night’s schedule game will go down as a forfeit, the Revolution said.

“This decision was not reached lightly,” according to a team statement.

Revolution president and GM Ben Shipley said his manager told him on Tuesday that less than nine players — the minimum number needed to fill out a lineup card — on the 28-man roster were willing to play in Thursday night’s uniforms.

It led to an unprecedented team meeting in which Shipley said he was unable to talk players into wearing the rainbow sleeves.

“I’m disappointed that we’re at this point and I recognize the players’ plight and their unwillingness to cross their line. I also think tolerance is not acceptance,” Shipley told NBC News on Thursday.

“I was just asking for tolerance from the team and they were unwilling to navigate that with me.”

The spirit of Pride Night would’ve been compromised if players had been forced to wear uniforms that celebrated the community, the Revolution said.

“Unfortunately, several of our players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey and the club decided that hosting the event is more important than forcing players to wear jerseys they are not comfortable with and playing the game,” the team said.

“As a result, and out of respect for the Pride Community and the York community as a whole, the York Revolution has decided that the game on Thursday, June 18 will be forfeited and that Pride Night will continue on as the feature element of the evening at WellSpan Park.”

Other Pride Night events are still set to go on as scheduled, free of charge, at the ballpark.

That’ll include music, fan batting practice and other on-the-field activities are still going to happen, Shipley said.

The team is set to return to action on Friday against Southern Maryland.

Team officials criticized their own players for refusing to celebrate the LGBTQ community.

“To be clear; this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York,” according to the team, which donated $10,000 to a local gay community center.

The Revolution and Blue Crabs are members of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB), with teams that are not affiliated with MLB clubs.

The incident in York unfolded less than a week after four players with the MLB San Francisco Giants staged a silent protest against the team’s Pride Night celebration by writing Bible references on their hats.

After the Giants’ incident, MLBwarned players not to deface uniforms.

Seven members of the Revolution refused to wear the uniforms at last year’s Pride Night, Shipley disclosed.

“We still played the game,” the team president said. “We didn’t make a big fuss of it.”
