Dodgers get themselves into hot water, promoting Catholic-hating LGBT activist group

The Dodgers have a tough assignment performing for a Los Angeles market. Sure, the team has been successful for the past decade (except for the postseason), and sure the fans are less critical than certain east coast markets like Boston, New York, or Philly.

However, the Dodgers have an extremely diverse fanbase, and Los Angeles is a very diverse city. Ever since "Fernandomania" in the early '80s, which sprung from the success of Mexican pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, the Dodgers have had an extremely large Hispanic fanbase. That continues to this day, and was especially prominent at the game I attended last night, where it was "Mexican Heritage Night", and I was in the noticeable minority as a white guy.

But it goes beyond racial diversity. Being from LA, there's pressure on the team to take on modern woke values. It's not so easy for the Dodgers to just snap their fingers and do this, as it's likely to offend a lot of their older, more conservative season ticket holders, along with many of their culturally traditional Hispanic fanbase, which is becoming increasingly Republican over time.

After giving a clear nod to the 2020 BLM stuff, the Dodgers and MLB dialed back their involvement from that angle, and you don't see a trace of it anymore. (The moving of the 2021 All Star game from Atlanta to Denver was particularly obnoxious and nonsensical, but that was the last we saw of MLB and its idiotic foray into BLM social justice.)

But back to the Dodgers.

The have an LGBT night in mid-June. That by itself is not controversial in 2023. LGBT acceptance is now mainstream in 2020s society, and having a night celebrating LGBT people is not likely to cause a lot of controversy, even if it ruffles the feathers of some of the older conservative fans.

This year's LGBT Pride night is actually the 10th one they've held, so it's not exactly a new thing.

Unfortunately, this year they accidentally invited The Sister of Perpetual Indulgence. The problem? This is an extreme LGBT group with an obnoxious anti-Catholic message, and in fact their members dress up as nuns in clown face.

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/irQv...33704452.0.jpg


The "Sisters" -- who are all biological men, and many are not even trans -- dress up as sexualized versions of nuns, often wear clown makeup, and often engage in or encourage lewd acts. The group's motto is "Go and sin some more", a parody of Jesus' command, "Go, and sin no more".

Many people objected to the Dodgers inviting this polarizing group to LGBT Pride night, as the group mocks a particular religion, and can be considered just as hateful as a group mocking LGBT people.

I agree. I'm not Catholic nor any kind of Christian, but it's absurd to have a night aimed at tolerance and inclusion of one group, while mocking another in the process.

Imagine if the Dodgers had invited a group of mock Muslims, who showed up wearing plastic dynamite vests and proclaiming themselves to be terrorists. There would be an outrage, and rightfully so. Mocking Catholicism is no different. The "Sisters" should have the legal right to do so, but it should not be celebrated by a baseball team supposedly looking to increase tolerance and reduce hate.

The Dodgers have since backed off from this, and now both sides are angry at them. The left is mad that they buckled and rescinded the invitation to the "Sisters", and the right is mad that the invite occurred in the first place.

https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1658908923213262848


This was likely a case of where the Dodgers didn't properly vet who was invited, and tasked the invite list to some woke staffer whose job it is to set these things up. This is why big corporations need to have better oversight regarding their own marketing and promotional efforts, and force a review by upper management when anything controversial is attempted -- under the threat of firing if such a review is not requested by the organizers.

Amazing how the right has become everything they champion against.

LOL at a jew rushing to the defense of a global pedophile ring over a faggot in a clown costume. LOL at getting triggered by beer commercials etc.

No, the difference is that I don't want the "Sisters" here cancelled. If they want to mock Catholics at demonstrations, parades, shows, or online, have at it.

This was an event supposedly to promote pride and inclusion, so it doesn't make sense to invite a hate group to it. Same concept as not inviting gay-bashing groups to participate a Christian night at the stadium.

The beer commercial backlash is just because corporations are now assisting in the woke propaganda machine, presumably because they have seen that conservatives suck at boycotting, whereas the left is very good at stirring up Twitter outrage. I support these backlashes because it will push corporations back where they belong -- into apolitical territory, except in matters which directly affect them.

Conservatives now care about pride and inclusion and excluding hate groups?

:lol2

The Catholics murdered gays for centuries and molest children with the efficiency of a factory line. They should be able to take all criticism without arousing the ire of conservative Facebook trigger groups.

Conservatives have reluctantly accepted these pandering "inclusion nights", but once they turn into platforming hate groups, the hypocrisy needs to be called out.

You can't have it both ways. If you're going to go the touchy-feely route of inclusion and love, you can't invite hate groups to deliver the message. If you don't want to have these pandering nights at all, that's also fine.

I don't give a shit about the Catholics themselves. They indeed have covered up a lot of the pedophilia in their ranks for a long time, and in fact pay for disgraced priests to live out their retirement, off the radar. This has never been properly shamed nor fully addressed in mainstream culture.

I will call out hypocrisy, though. If you want to have a night about loving gays and trans people, you can't mock Catholics at the same time.

As predicted, neither side is happy. Now the left is giving the Dodgers all kinds of shit.

LA Pride, another gay organization, cancelled their appearance, out of support for the Sisters.

https://twitter.com/lapride/status/1659355674500038656


Now it has come out that a Catholic Rights group pressured Commissioner Manfred to intervene in the situation. Some are now theorizing that Manfred browbeat the Dodgers into disinviting the Sisters:

I hope this is a lesson to the Dodgers and all other sports organizations that performative political pandering has a potential cost. For quite some time, corporations believed that parroting left-wing values will win tolerance points, and satisfy any potential agitators in the woke social media mob. They assumed right wingers were too passive or not organized enough to mount any kind of sizable objection or boycott.

Now they see how this can blow up if you put yourself in the middle of a situation like this. There's no need for LGBT Pride night in the first place (what does that have to do with baseball?), but if you're going to have it, the groups being invited need to be carefully vetted to not have a history of offensive or extreme behavior. Otherwise you find yourself in a position like this.

Instead of this stupid Pride Night, the Dodgers should have just made some donations to respected and non-controversial LGBT advocacy groups, and been done with it.

Maybe all these various 2023 backlashes will finally force corporations out of fake political/social activism.

How is it a shit statement?

Corporations shouldn't get involved in these type of issues.

I do not want to see corporations pushing right wing values either. I just want them to deliver the product or service they're selling, and that's it.

If they wish to engage in charitable donations or efforts behind the scenes, aimed at helping marginalized groups, that's great. But if the goal is only pandering, it's going to backfire when it's a controversial or potentially controversial matter.

There is always a cost to a corporation publicly taking on a political or social cause.

Stop being a fan now or you're just some whining faggot.

That's the problem here.

I have been a fan since 1976 and always looked forward to baseball season.

Short of the Dodgers doing something shitty to me personally (very unlikely), I can't bring myself to give them up.

I felt the same way about MLB bowing down to the BLM scam in 2020.

They got scared of the left wing cancel mob here, and backtracked. This will be harder for conservatives to boycott, because it's not like there's competition. Unless you count the Angels.

It's a lot easier to boycott a certain beer and just order a different brand.

Zero chance they would honor a group mocking Muslims or Jews. However, Christianity is seen as an easy target, and is the one form of religion you can mock without cancellation.

This was especially dumb because the Dodgers don't need the hard left wing fanbase.

Their huge Hispanic contingent doesn't care about LGBT shit, and even the older liberal season ticket holders aren't completely on board with all the modern craziness.

Then there's the independent and conservative sports fans who think all of this is pandering BS.

They need to just stop kissing ass to the woke left, and they'll be completely fine.

SO I guess the Dodgers would rather kiss the ass of the hateful LGBTQ group and risk alienating a bunch of their catholic and oh yeah Hispanic fna base with this shit.. Dodgers apparently missed the memo that Hispanics and Blacks dont tolerate this shit for the most part.. Its why Mayor fake breastfeeding Bootygig got thrashed in the primaries in 2020

After the Sisters were removed from the Dodgers’ Pride Night, LA Pride dropped out of the event in solidarity.

The Dodgers understandably simply could not play baseball without the support of LA Pride. What would fathers tell their sons? This is Southern California after all.

I wonder what role that loser Andrew Friedman had in this debacle

It is a source of some kind of Yankee pride that they were the last to succumb to this nonsense. They resisted for years.

I don’t support all the other political bullshit surrounding sport either. The Memorial Day camouflage, Pentagon flyovers and Raytheon advertising is similarly inappropriate at a family sporting event. The Pentsgon pays baseball for that horseshit - so there is that. Sometimes brand image is more important than short term profit.

Black Lives Matter and all that should be fought in the streets not on the diamond or football field.

You won’t see that in a hockey arena.

There was a "service member of the game" honored at the Dodgers game I attended last week. They've been doing it for awhile. As you mentioned, the military pays for this as a recruiting tool.

Whatever. That doesn't bother me. The service member being honored has his moment under the lights, and basks in the adulation of the crowd. I clap for the person, too. We need a military, and that military needs voluntary recruits, or otherwise it's draft time. As long as recruiting isn't dishonest, I'm fine with it, and it actually fits with baseball, because of its history as the "great American pasttime". There's an underlying patriotism to baseball. That's not why I go, but it has never bothered me.

But all of these other causes they've recently taken up... what the fuck? And I'm not just saying that because these are left wing causes. I wouldn't want to see "Get Tougher On Crime Night", or any other conservative themed cause pushed. All of this shit doesn't belong.

As much as you like to hate Friedman, I doubt he had anything to do with this. He's on the side of player development and acquisition. This was some woke department tasked with community outreach. They made a dumb mistake inviting the Sisters, and probably got overruled by team management, only for the powers-that-be finding themselves beaten down by the woke Twitter mob and reversing the decision.

This is actually worse than just leaving the Sisters invited and ignoring the concern. Here they actually fixed the mistake, then made it all over again, all within a span of days.

Shameful.

If you want to hate on Friedman, though, look at the horrendous bottom of the lineup, the paper-thin bench, and the bullpen full of no-namers and castoffs.

Then remind yourself that this is the team with the highest attendance in MLB, and has the #2 TV market.

Persecution is one of the signs of the end times.

‘Pride’ goeth before a fall.

Monsters can’t have the rainbow. The rainbow signifies that God will not reflood the world.

What’s coming is worse than a flood. Be ready.

All men's sports should be boycotted until transgender men are allowed on the teams. Just look at what transgender women have done for women's sports. They've taken it to a new level of competition. Records being broken left and right.

If transgender men were allowed to compete in men's sports they would do the same thing, break all the records. The trannies would break all the baseball, football, basketball and hockey records. And of course they would be the best men's boxers and mixed martial artists. It's shameful that men's sports teams discriminate against transgender men.

If the Dodgers want to win they need transgender men on the team.

Transgender men are allowed, they just don't ever join or can't make the team.

But we are supposed to believe that transgender women (biological men) don't have a massive advantage over regular women because they took hormones lol

SCIENCE!!!

Whats funny is The Diamondbacks are just the opposite their bottom of their lineup is shockingly good. Perdomo could have the best avg of a 9th slot hitter in forever batting .317 with .947 OPS and could easily blow his previous career SB total up to this season out of the water (he has 5 this season he only had 9 coming in total in his career).

Dbacks owned the Dodgers to start the season and between their Cy Young candidate in Gallen along with Kelly they could very well win the NL West this season. Theyve got more series wins then ties or losses so far combined and their ability to come back down in games is almost scary for other teams. In truth there benefitting from fewer divisional games 13 vs 19 per team but reality is theyve looked good outside of a brief hiccup where they lost the divisional lead but are nipping at the dodgers heels again. Its still early but I think its gonna be between LA and AZ for the division. One will win the other will be the #1 WC

It's funny that the Padres were expected to win the NL West, or at least be very close, and it looks like the Diamondbacks will be the Dodgers' main competition.

Somehow this team of no-namers is making it work, especially with the base stealing (2nd in NL, behind the Pirates). They're also best in the NL in batting average.

Honestly I forgot what thread I was in. I was just reading new posts and thought this was the MLB thread.

I dialed down my NBA fandom when they did all the bullshit BLM stuff in 2020, but it's a lot harder for me to quit baseball, and the Dodgers specifically.

Brothers it’s amazing organizations get themselves involved in messes like this

Here is something that should be apparent to you as you spend 4 hours commuting to the game. You have the population density of freaking Tokyo.

Combine your population with the magic no longer possessed by the Cubs and Red Sox - a multi generational championship drought.

The worst thing that would ever happen to the Dodgers popularity would be winning a World Series. Friedman acts as if he knows this. He isn’t going to make the same mistake as Theo Epstein did when he broke the Curse of the Bambino then removed the curse in Chicago.

Why didn’t the Dodgers pursue Epstein more vigorously? I gotta reread “The Best Team Money Can Buy”, I forgot the answer.

Boston had a string of consecutive sellouts that ran for years prior to their Championship in 2004. Today? Not so much.

Guaranteed your hockey analog, the Toronto Maple Leafs, sells out next year and they are a continued fixation for that city

I can't speak for the Cubs but the Red Sox aren't the love of New England anymore because they're terrible and trade away their best players. The '04 team had Pedro, Manny, Papi, Schilling, D Lowe, K Millar and Folke (who was fuckin' huge in '04). They had Tessie for cryin' out loud! Now its Keke Hernandez and Chris Sale and bunch of nobodies. Plus there was Sean and Jerry calling the games on tv and excellent radio guys. The Sox are boring now and have been for years. Trading Mookie Betts was one of the last straws for me. Like, how do you justify trading Betts and Bogaerts AND having the most expensive seats in MLB? The Red Sox can go fuck themselves. They ruined baseball here and they didn't even need some stupid woke controversy to do it.

Time for Sanlmar to hate on Kershaw.

https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/stat...06013779607552


I'm sad to see that Kershaw has been talked into this bullshit.

I'm not talking about the Christian night. They had that in the late 2010s (as well as a Jewish night), and somehow it disappeared in the 2020s. It's pointless to have this at a baseball game, but not harmful in any way.

Kershaw has always been a religious Christian. That has influenced some of the positive behaviors we've seen from him. He doesn't get in trouble, almost surely doesn't cheat on his wife, and runs a charity out of a sincere desire to help, and not just for optics. I respect all of this.

However, I believe that Kershaw is also one of those Christians who was talked into somewhat supporting all the woke nonsense, with the belief that he's simply doing the Christian thing and supporting the persecuted. (This, unfortunately, is the same line used to get Jewish support of this type of nonsense.)

When the Dodgers refused to play a game in August 2020 as a show of support for career criminal Jacob Blake (yes, this shit actually happened), Clayton Kershaw was one of the Dodgers at the forefront of supporting that effort.

Dumb.


Anyway, I believe with this Sisters incident, Kershaw probably expressed some concern to the Dodgers that many of his fellow Christians felt that the team didn't care about then. The Dodgers then likely came back with, "Oh, that's not true, Clayton! In fact, why don't we bring back that Christian Faith night we used to do a few years ago? That will show the fans that we are only trying to make a statement of tolerance and inclusion, but at the same time, respect their devotion to Jesus."

Kershaw likely thought this was a swell idea, and addressed his concerns, and here we are.

Lol religion and triggered conservative retards.

This isn’t fair. I never criticized his character. Never. He is a nice human given all evidence. I have always simply contended that Kershaw was not the GOAT the public felt he was. He did not have the skill or the mental makeup to compete at the highest level. All the evidence confirmed my position.

Entertaining way to pass the summer. Give him that.

I will speculate the Dodgers originated the Christian Night as an attempt to spin their LGBQ fiasco. They must have the Bud Light marketing genius on their payroll. They keep drilling holes.

The Dodgers prolly ran it past Kershaw and he being a simple human of fair intelligence was indeed “talked into” the idea. He prolly does now think it’s a “swell idea”. It’s not. Sport, religion and politics should not mix. No two should intersect in a Venn diagram

Like you i too genuinely feel kinda sad for Kershaw. Loses his mother and now the stupid Dodgers use him as a pawn and further complicating his life.

Happy Kershaw Day regardless of the outcome today Druff. Prolly too late to grab an over 7.5, huh? Give it a try. That brand name will never die. 7.5 made zero.zero sense. Trap?

a simple human of fair intelligence is the meanest thing ive ever seen on this website god damn sally

Hey Druff, do you still wear the hat you got for free on Jew night to the Dodger Stadium?

I didn't go to Jew night. I'll admit I was considering it.

I used to wear a similar shirt to the WSOP which said Coca-Cola on it in Hebrew. Unfortunately the shirt got old and I gained weight, so that was the end of that.

I don't think they've brought Jew night back, even though Kershaw revived his Christian night. The Jew night was created shortly after the Christian night, maybe like a year later.

The origins of Christian night came from the fact that two prominent players on the team -- Adrian Gonzalez and Clayton Kershaw -- were religious Christians. They also had AJ Ellis at the time, who couldn't hit, but remained Kershaw's personal catcher for years because Ellis was also a big time Christian, and Kershaw demanded he remain on the team to catch him.

If you remember back to the 1990s, there was another Christian contingent on the Dodgers, but there was no Christian night. Brett Butler, Todd Worrell, and a few other veterans were very into the Christian stuff, and apparently they were a little clique which excluded everyone else. This made for bad team chemistry -- something some players complained about after leaving the Dodgers.

Then of course there was the situation with Ben Zobrist on the Cubs, a religious Christian who married a chick who seemed to be straight out of the repressed religious girl trope from porn. Sure enough, she ended up cheating on him with their pastor and marriage counselor (lol), which literally depressed him out of baseball. This was one of the rare times where the famous athlete was faithful and the wife wasn't. The only other one I can think of was Tim Duncan's wife.

Otherwise, the mere fact that the team had devout Christians is unremarkable unless you are SoCal Jew

Yes, they had one in the mid-2010s. The Clayton Kershaw/Adrian Gonzalez contingent made this happen.

They added a Jew night a year later, I believe.

Both disappeared in 2020, as the promotions were all reshuffled due to COVID, and this was one of the casualties.

I agree that the team having devout Christians is otherwise unremarkable. I usually only mention it when naming players who are less likely to screw around on their wives while on the road. You never know for sure, but I couldn't picture Kershaw doing it, and I'm pretty sure Zobrist resisted temptation as well. That's part of the reason why Zobrist fell into that tremendous depression when he found out his wife was banging the marriage counselor while he was gone.

Christian Night & Jew Night…This is all completely nuts. I was oblivious and learned something here.
