One Thing: What MLB’s Gay Meltdown Tells Us About LGBTQ Progress

CNN 5 Things

About this episode

Over the past few weeks, a small player protest over Pride uniforms has kicked off a controversy in Major League Baseball. Some LGBTQ fans and politicians are angry (for very different reasons), and the episode is raising questions about LGBTQ progress and whether professional sports should play a role. We look at whether this drama on the diamond can tell us anything about Americans’ shifting attitudes on social issues under the second Trump administration.  For more: Americans are divided on ‘culture war’ issues, a new CNN poll finds. Republicans are trying to leverage that in the midterms  ---  Guests: Terri Hupfer & Hannah Keyser, CNN Sports Writer  Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin Photo By: Scott Marshall/AP Learn more about your ad choices.
