Statistically speaking there are at least one or two gay players on every ball club. Pride month festivities and Kershaw injecting himself into the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence drama have disrupted team chemistry, it seems. Go Giants!
Pride month is great. Celebrating diversity and inclusion is great. Doing it through a group that openly mocks and offends another protected class is wrong and small-minded. The Dodgers flubbed this one like a Steve Sax throw to 1B.
Well said. Plus, it is not like they couldn't find any gay celebrities in Los Angeles.
I should probably leave it alone, but ...
The Sisters were selected for their charity work because they are a charity organization. They were not selected because they were famous or popular. But the Dodgers should never have selected to anyone honor anyone who would obviously cause controversy because their job is to embrace everyone and offend no one.
That said, there's a lot wrong with this discussion. One group may openly mock and offend another protected class, but that other protected class has done far worse than openly mock and offend the first group. In addition, that other protected class has been caught committing some of the most evil crimes imaginable all across the planet. Where's the outrage for that?
Perhaps a group whose mission it is to help help homeless youth, help people overcome drug addiction, and preach about safe sex all to communities that are typically shunned by other charities (charities like other protected class) isn't the best place for your ire when the other side protects child sex predators. All because people don't like they outfits they wear while doing it.
Seems like our values are out-of-whack.
