A controversial former San Francisco Giants player has gone crazy online in a lengthy homophobic rant against his ex-team’s Pride Night debacle.

Aubrey Huff took to X on Wednesday morning, and he didn’t pull any punches when it came to his thoughts on general manager Buster Posey’s befuddled response to reporters’ questions on Tuesday.

“I 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,” Huff began.

“You know how I know what he wants to say? Because it’s exactly what I, & most every single player, coach, & front office executive who were part of the @SFGiants World Series dynasty teams that brought the city 3 World Series titles in 5 years would say. And say confidently into the camera…..” he added.

“I’m not wearing this gay bulls–t. Queers don’t watch Baseball anyway. They watch The View, enjoy therapy, & fudge packing sessions. And anyone inside the LGBTQ community, or those who support them don’t like what I just said, then I say to you…. Go f–k yourselves, & eat a d–k. And I mean that in the most literal sense,” he said.

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.

The drama began when several Giants pitchers wrote Bible verses on their Pride hats on June 12. 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’s standard cap instead.

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

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

In response to Hawley, Manfred said 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.

Days later, the DOJ referred the matter to the EEOC for a potential religious discrimination review, while LGBTQ+ advocates protested outside Oracle Park over the players’ actions and the team’s response.
