Following the news that Major League Baseball declared that members of the San Francisco Giants violated league rules by writing Bible verses on their pride caps, Dan Dakich unloaded on the league.
On his “Don’t @ Me” show on OutKick Tuesday morning, Dakich criticized the league for its messages.
“Oh, shut up! Isn’t that amazing? This is what we worry about in this country. This is the greatest country in the history of the world. If for no other reason, it’s the nonsense we have time to worry about,” Dakich said.

Dakich said he understood why the players didn’t want to wear the hat and that he had become “very tired of having things thrown in our faces.”
“I’ve worked in the minor leagues. I get to the major leagues, I can’t wait. This is amazing. I’m going to wear the black hat with the orange-brown trim of the San Francisco Giants. Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Barry Bonds. Are you kidding me? And now you’re giving me one. I’m wearing what? I’m not wearing it. Or if I’m wearing it, I’m putting a Bible verse next to it because I don’t support it,” he said, also telling MLB that “I’m not wearing it.” It sucks.”
“Stop being so soft and demanding with people in your lifestyle. Live your life, baby. Enjoy it to the fullest. Hell yeah. But stop being so whiny when someone doesn’t agree with you living your life with another player,” he added.

“What is hate like? Now someone wants to say, well, believing in God doesn’t mean you can’t be gay, or that other people can’t be gay,” Dakich said. “That’s for another debate. But what does hate look like?”
starting pitcher Landen Roupp addressed his reasoning for writing a Bible verse on his cap after the game, saying that the verse is about representing the “covenant of God.”
“It’s just God’s covenant and a promise that He makes to us, you know, His faithfulness and His mercy,” Roupp told reporters. “That’s something I believe in, and I stand by that, and I’m grateful that we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want… and express what we want.

“There’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for and what I stand for. I believe in God.”
