MLB LEGEND Clayton Kershaw has stirred controversy by adding a religious message to his teams Pride-themed cap.The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher is a devout Christian.Clayton Kershaw altered his cap to show his uneaseShutterstock EditorialKershaw is one of the most famed MLB pitchers ever[/caption]And hes been unhappy in the past with his baseball team supporting the LGBTQ+ community.Now hes taken that a step further at a match in which he wasnt even playing.Kershaw, 37, watched on as the Dodgers hosted the San Francisco Giants.The LA team wore baseball caps that mixed the colors of the Pride flag with the Dodgers logo.Kershaws own version of the hat still had the bright new LA logo.But next to that, the 10-time All-Star had inscribed the reference: Gen 9:12-16.

Thats a passage in the Bible that describes the rainbow as a sign of Gods covenant the agreement between man and God, as seen by some religions.So using the rainbow as a Pride symbol can be opposed by some groups.The Bible extract about the rainbow follows the story of Noahs Ark.It represents a covenant from God to never destroy the earth with a flood again.

The Dodgers upset a radical section of the Christian community two years ago by hosting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at their annual Pride Night back.The group regularly dress in drag and often wear nun habits.But with Kershaw reportedly unhappy over that event, the Dodgers shifted their Christian Faith and Family Day to an earlier date.Some baseball fans reckon the new controversy is a fuss over nothing.One said: The rainbow can have multiple meanings.

Why cant the rainbow mean both?Others were disappointed with Kershaw and urged him to stick with sports.But a third group online praised him as a class act for his subtle protest saying it was righteous comeback and he was sharing biblical truths.And a few other religious followers believe he should have gone further by not wearing the cap at all..
