Yankees legend on wokery: “It sucks. That’s why everyone should carry a gun.”

“We’re in a different world,” (David) Wells said Saturday, which was Old-Timer’s Day at Yankee Stadium. “It sucks. That’s why everyone should carry a gun.”

As Wells spoke, he wore a piece of medical tape over the Nike swoosh on the chest of his Yankees jersey. He said that if he were playing today, he would have cut a hole into his jersey and worn it on the field like that rather than display Nike’s logo on his body.

“I hate Nike!” he said. “They’re woke!”

Wells ripped companies that he feels dabble too much in social issues and politics. He referenced Bud Light, which used the transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in a commercial earlier this year, causing some conservatives to call for a boycott of the beer.

[Wells didn’t mince any words about the current team, either. David Wells just went to the top of my “People I’d love to have a beer with” list. Any time you’re in central Texas, Mr. Wells, I’m buying. And it won’t be Bud Light, I promise you. — Ed]

And what the Red Sox did to Curt Schilling is nothing short of appalling.

F the Yankees.

F the Red Sox.
