Genesis 9:12-16 is a passage from the Bible. This passage states that God created the rainbow as a permanent symbol of the covenant He made with Noah and all living creatures.

Roupp expressed his reason Saying after the match that the verse was about representing “God’s covenant”.
“It’s just about God’s covenant and a promise he made to us, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy,” Roupp told reporters. “This is something I believe in, and I stand firm in it, and I am grateful that we live in a country where we have the freedom to believe what we want and express what we want.
“There is no hate whatsoever. This is just what I stand for and stand for. I believe in God.”
Then on Tuesday, MLB issued an official warning to these players to not violate the rules and write on their hats.
