San Diego Padres humiliate San Diego Gay Men's Chorus by dubbing a woman's voice over their National Anthem

[Dan Druff]

Bizarre story out of San Diego.

The Padres brought in the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus to sing the National Anthem for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

The chorus, consisting of 100 gay men, was to sing the National Anthem together, and were brought on the field to do so.

That's when it got weird.

Instead of their live performance, fans heard a recorded National Anthem sung by a woman, while the Gay Men's Chorus sat there bewildered.

Even stranger, nobody stopped it and corrected the issue. They let it fully play out, and then the SD Gay Men's Chorus was escorted off the field.

The Padres made a statement blaming it on a "third party company" (lol)




Here is a video of it. You can "X" out the obnoxious advertisement for some other video.

There are also reports that the Padres were demanding that all 100 members of the chorus buy tickets to the game, even if they only intended to show up, sing, and leave.

What a trainwreck.

The game went 17 innings, btw.

Sounds like some folks in the Padres org running the stadium ops had it in for those guys.
