I cried watching this video. I myself am bi, and in the time I was going to school, there was no initiative like this. There were the "support groups" in school, but that just meant you signed your name on a list where everyone could see it by the front office. And, yes, there were other after school activities' forms right next to it, but that only ensured that everyone would see that list. Bullying was rampant, and I'm so happy these manly men took the time out to say "hey, quit it!" Go Rays!

What's wrong with Johnny Damon? He's terrible in this video.

[JENDALL714]

Don't be a weirdo and you won't be bullied.

I am glad the Rays did this!! Just wish the camera only did face on. I didn't like the side shots. But, I am proud to be a Rays fan!

[TerraDangerJonas]

Awwww :)

This made me smile.

I've always been supportive of LGTB

Thank you to the Rays for using the song, "It Gets Better" by 10th Concession!! available on itunes!

[DrGodfather14]

no it doesn't gay people because THERE IS NO MLB PLAYER THAT HAS THE BALLS TO ADMIT THEYRE GAY

[scajk29]

@DrGodfather14 Maybe, but this has what to do with the IGB Project?

[DrGodfather14]

@scajk29 The Trevor Project is about a kid that was bullied because he was gay

[scajk29]

@DrGodfather14 Yes and...? What does having no openly gay MLB players have to do with it?

[DrGodfather14]

@scajk29 gay baseball players don't have the balls to come out

[TediousAudacity]

@DrGodfather14 Bahahahhahh I see what you did there! :p

[Althok]

This is awesome.

I am happy that both the Tampa Bay Rays (where I live now) and the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles (where I lived for many years) have done.

[jcphan22]

This is sooo cool of the Rays to do this for the kids out there. You guys are truly heros and even if this message reaches a few kids, a few lives could be saved. Cheers to you Tampa Bay Rays!

[Jesterswords]

Of my three favorite teams, the San Francisco Giants did this, the Chicago Cubs did this, come on New York Yankees, get on board! Even the Red Sox did one!

[matt777brady]

Great message, Great soudtrack. Much love to the Rays and 10th Concession.

So proud of Jeff for doing this production - not to mention Brian for getting the ball rolling ....oh yeah,and the Rays. Way to go Jeff !

No reason to make a video to such a small population of society, just another gay pandering video. Should have just done an all around bullying video!

[rg0057]

@mbpe912 , The irony here is that you're a bully.

[gaystpete]

The Rays were fantastic to work with on this project...all the players were genuinely interested in this project and management was great to work with. Thanks to 10th Concession for offering their song!

[Depletethestate]

Cool! Gotta love the 10th Concession playing in the background!

I particularly liked the parts where Sam Fuld said, "We're standing here as your fans to let you know that it gets better," and at the end with a lot of people. Actions like that truly show that the Tampa Bay Rays care about their fans. Such actions are a sure sign of class.

[TheYaoiSurgeon]

My absolute favourite team (the Giants) make a video, then my second favourite team (the Rays) make one! Beautiful! Just beautiful!!

It's great that sports teams are taking a stand against bullying. I'm so proud of one of my favourite teams for making an IGB video!!
