According to the New York Times, an entire softball team quit the team in the middle of a series after its general manager, Connie May sent out an ill-advised tweet showing the women standing for the national anthem before a game.

The team, Scrap Yard Pitch was playing USSSA Pride, which the Times says are two of the best independent softball teams in the world, in Melbourne, Florida.

But the first day of the series ended with Scrap Yard Pitch’s 18 players quitting and refusing to play again for the the tweet has since been deleted, the women are steadfast that they are done with the team.

The team’s two Black players, Kelsey Stewart, who was training for the 2020 Olympics before it was postponed, and Kiki Stokes, say they’ve already dealt with racism in the sport but felt this incident was too much to gloss over.

Though the Scrap Yard organization is one of the few that provided resources to mount a pro softball team, the women say they have no regrets.
