ARLINGTON, TX — Despite facing ongoing criticism for being the only remaining Major League Baseball team to not hold a Pride Night, the Texas Rangers announced the club would double down by celebrating a "No Homo Night" at the ballpark.
Whereas all other MLB teams scheduled special nights to cater to celebrating LGBTQ lifestyles, the Rangers instead decided to institute "No Homo Night," which will include overtly heterosexual hotdogs, no physical touching between male fans other than aggressive high-fives, and a strict ban on any Dallas Cowboys clothing.
"It's going to be a sweet time at the ballpark. No homo," said Rangers General Manager Chris Young. "We want everyone who comes out to the stadium for that game to be assured that all affection among the players and fans will be strictly platonic in nature. We've even decided to have the players abstain from slapping each other's behinds for this game."
Rangers leadership also took special care to instruct all parking lot attendants to turn away anyone attempting to arrive at the stadium driving Subaru SUVs.
LGBTQ activists did not take kindly to the team's announcement. "Stop oppressing us!" shouted one social media user who was only wearing purple leather chaps in his profile photo. "How are we supposed to feel seen and celebrated when only a measly 29 out of 30 MLB teams have a Pride Night? You bigots!"
At publishing time, all tickets for "No Homo Night" had sold out, with many fans expressing relief that they could take their kids to the game without fear of having to explain why people would wear Dallas Cowboys gear.
They should take it one step further and REQUIRE all couples to be straight, or at least require that if they bring children (or ‘playthings’, as they say in the gay community). That would SERIOUSLY tweak that bunch.
Baseball being my only real professional sport to watch, I have avoided it now for 3-4 years due to this woke BS.
Maybe I’ll become a rangers fan.
That’s a good one!
I've always wondered about that tradition...
Gotta love The Bee!
LOL, the theme of this article had me going.
Too bad it’s not true.
I'm really liking the Ranger's “No Homo Day” concept.
That's what I call celebrating diversity.
Almost fell for it!!!!
OMG, it was the bee.
They got me dead to rights.
If it sounds too good to be true ........
Nope. I'd get banned for sure...
Maybe they should also have announced that Bud Light will not be for sale.
Me too. 🤣
And no disco music when batters approach the plate.

I wonder how that one started....Regardless, it’s very annoying when this has to get in the way of a decision about car renting, buying or even riding in one.

I’d pay a HUGE premium for a quiet ballpark with nothing but baseball, a good announcer and a “Charge” maybe once an inning.
I took my son to an LA Dodgers game a couple months ago and it was deafening. I anxiously waited for the five seconds of silence during the windup, pitch and action. Then the deafening rap resumed to the next pitch.
Last game I will ever go to.
Players have more PA influence than most understand. They are mostly 25 to 35 years old and want to hear ‘their’ music loud, with some concessions to the geezer season ticket holders.
I also mostly pass.
