More from the baseball diamond. . .

Fox News Digital interviewed Leah O’Brien Amico, three time Olympic gold medalist in Softball, about the baseball cap Bible verse controversy.  Amico expressed the true Christian and the true American concept in her response.  With respect to the effort to make all players wear “Pride” hats, she said - ”I feel like it would be similar to saying everybody should have to wear a cross on their jersey, but I would never expect that with my teammates that don’t believe the same thing.”  Amico also shared another insight - “a team is made up of individuals, and sports organizations should leave room for players to differ.”  Fox journalist Jackson Thompson summarized Amico’s views - “For Amico, the answer is choice: fans and individual players can participate in Pride celebrations, while other athletes should be allowed to wear the standard uniform without being treated as if they are betraying the team.”

Leah Amico understands the concept of liberty of conscience better than most of the world does.  We wish there were more people who think like she does.  Unfortunately, coerced, ideological conformity has become the driving principle of our time.   Remember the experimental Covid shot?  “It won’t work unless everyone takes it. . .”  And this is to say nothing of the massive ideological censorship that accompanied its promotion.  Individuality of thought and even of religious belief is under attack all over the world.  The wealthy and powerful feel at liberty to control the consciences of others.  True Christians must resist this trend.
