A controversial former San Francisco Giants player<\/a> has gone crazy online in a lengthy homophobic rant against his ex-team\u2019s Pride Night debacle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aubrey Huff took to X on Wednesday morning, and he didn\u2019t pull any punches when it came to his thoughts on general manager Buster Posey\u2019s befuddled response<\/a> to reporters\u2019 questions on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can pretty much guarantee you I know exactly what Buster wants to say about having to answer irrelevant non-Baseball questions that pertain to the sexual preference within the LGBTQ fudge packing community,\u201d Huff began.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know how I know what he wants to say? Because it\u2019s exactly what I, & most every single player, coach, & front office executive who were part of the @SFGiants<\/a> World Series dynasty teams that brought the city 3 World Series titles in 5 years would say. And say confidently into the camera\u2026..\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not wearing this gay bulls\u2013t. Queers don\u2019t watch Baseball anyway. They watch The View, enjoy therapy, & fudge packing sessions. And anyone inside the LGBTQ community, or those who support them don\u2019t like what I just said, then I say to you\u2026. Go f\u2013k yourselves, & eat a d\u2013k. And I mean that in the most literal sense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Huff, who played first base for the Giants from 2010 to 2012, and was part of their World Series winning team in 2010 and 2012, is known for his controversial statements online.<\/p>\n

The drama began when several Giants pitchers wrote Bible verses on their Pride<\/a> hats on June 12<\/a>. Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on their Pride Night caps. A fourth pitcher, Sam Hentges, chose to wear the team\u2019s standard cap instead.<\/p>\n

MLB later issued a warning for a uniform policy violation<\/a>, though commissioner Rob Manfred clarified the players were not fined, disciplined or facing future punishment. <\/p>\n

This caused a major backlash from media and politicians alike. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley demanded answers<\/a> from Manfred and Vice President JD Vance publicly condemned the league.<\/p>\n

In response to Hawley, Manfred said<\/a> the Giants failed to clearly tell players they could wear standard hats instead of Pride caps. The Giants then issued a statement supporting the LGBTQ+ community while also respecting personal beliefs.<\/p>\n

Days later, the DOJ referred the matter<\/a> to the EEOC for a potential religious discrimination review, while LGBTQ+ advocates protested outside Oracle Park over the players\u2019 actions and the team\u2019s response.<\/p>\n
