Some smart folks have figured that pandering to the alphabet people isn’t a hill that they want to die on.

heard that one of the hospitals in Boston is one of them.

My grandson had neonatal heart surgery at Boston's Children's Hospital . It is one of the premier hospitals in the world for that procedure. They have more business than they can handle. Wealthy people bring their children there from all over the world for treatment. They do not have to scrounge for business. They are heavily influenced by their association with Harvard. Like I said, they are accepting bottomless risk, in return for no possible net increase in revenue. They are in an area that is chock-a-block with prestige hospitals. This is a terrible business decision. This is all risk for no imaginable financial gain. It's lunacy.

I’ve a suspicion that they’re probably getting spread very thin and only have real clout when they can target their efforts on one or two companies ‘in the moment’.

Now we have Bud, Target, Nike, MLB, probably NASCAR, and others all feeling the heat due to their support...so the woke mob will need to spread people and funds across all these ‘fights’.

We all knew they wouldn’t stop going after the kids. I knew this would be a red line. They tried to make ‘Pride’ month the biggest ever this year, while it intersects the timing where majority that is sick of it - this is only going to hurt them more.

When the universities are ghost towns they might get curious.

I was a holdout on boycotting MLB—it was the last sport to fall for me.

But—I am on strike.

The perverts can peddle their evil garbage elsewhere.

I would like to think there is some faint hope for baseball although I have little to no faith in the corporate decision makers who run it.

Baseball was very much the game of my youth.

On summer days like today we’d gather and organize a game of baseball with a variety of ages even though most may have had a pony league or little league or American Legion practice later in the day.

But make no mistake, there is no hope for the NBA/BLM or the NFL/BLM.

Bud Light is STILL the official beer of the NFL.

I believe that contract runs through 2025.

And I haven’t heard one complaint about the Rangers not having a Pride Night.

Which is wounded by all this nonsense.

Yes indeed. And it is up to us to offer prayers and sacrifices this month in reparation.

Too many traditional family-loving Latino players in MLB to put up with this crap? That’s likely part of it.

The entire idea of a Month to celebrate ANY group is insanity. Let alone PRIDE... if you are that way inately (which I argue is a BS stand to begin with) what the hell is their to be PROUD of? Complete random chance?

Sounds like a cult, like the TM crap back in the 70’s.

I was sickened by the video clip of the Toronto Blue Jay pitcher renouncing his disapproval of Pride Month as an affront and apostasy to his Christian faith … and saying he was entering a program to get his mind right.

It was surreal, like that scene in Cool Hand Luke when Luke, digging and refilling a ditch, said he’d gotten his mind right.

Evil triumphing over good.
