Diamondbacks reliever Ryan Thompson has become one of the latest voices to weigh in on the growing controversy surrounding the Giants and Major League Baseball’s response to players displaying Bible verses during Pride Night. The debate began after Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker wrote “Gen 9:12-16” on their rainbow-themed Pride Night caps during last week’s game against the Cubs. The Bible passage references God’s covenant with Noah and describes the rainbow as a sign of that promise.
