Time for Sanlmar to hate on Kershaw.

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.
