The Padres have a PR problem on their hands after a mixup during the national anthem for Saturday night's game against the Dodgers.

There were 100 members of the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus on the field to sing the anthem, but a woman's voice

I’m sure it was just an accident. I doubt if the Choir members could ever be convinced of that.

Maybe it was the Four Seasons.
You know, “Walk like man, sing like a girl.”

escorted off the field to the heckles of baseball fans shouting homophobic taunts including “You sing like a girl.”

Brilliant!

"No attempt was made to stop the recording and start over. No announcement of apology was made to the singers or their friends and families in the stands. No attempt to correct the situation occurred other than to force the 100 men to stand in the spotlight of center field for the song’s duration and then be escorted off the field to the heckles of baseball fans shouting homophobic taunts including “You sing like a girl.”

I doubt if that happened, but if it did? LOL!

They are screeching for an investigation into whether or not this “nightmarish incident” was a “hate crime”. Just what crime would that be, praytell? They are quite a dramatic bunch. Here was a perfect opportunity for them to at least appear mentally balanced by laughing at the joke provided by the accident, but instead they want blood.

I’d never invite them back. Instead, the team will probably wear rainbow uniforms for a month.

Wow!

What a bunch of babies.

First thing they do is run crying to the D.A. demanding an investigation.

They are so touchy. Take them antiquing and then off to a fashion show. It should calm them down a bit before they take their naps.

Sounds to me like the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus are misogynists.

Give them their own island. See if they can propagate thier species and survive a la Darwinian mandate. Good luck with that.

Not sure how that was homophobic, it’s quite a stretch.

It could have been Sinatra out there, and if they played a female at a BALL GAME the fans would have made fun of him too.

I swear, is nothing NOT homophobic anymore?

I thought Barr’s rendition was hilarious.

As for the gay men’s choir, they want to be treated equal like everyone else yet they do everything they can to say “Look! We’re different!”

There are a few things readily apparent:

1) the Padres invited someone to sing and reneged (inadvertent or not, they reneged) on the deal, publicly. (I don’t like homosexuality nor the accompanying agenda, but a deal is a deal)

2) The Padres are tone deaf to thier mistakes and don’t know how to correct them rapidly, nor effectively handle the accompanying public kefluffle.

3) the Gay community will waste no time in turning this into a public spectacle to advance thier agenda instead of asking for an appropriate apology and rescheduling the performance.

One good reason to live to a ripe old age: think of all the P’sOS whose passing you’ll celebrate.

OFFICER: Sir, you can’t be pouring strangers glasses of champagne out in the city street. You’re intoxicated and making a disturbance.

OLD COOT: Roseanne Barr just died.

OFFICER: Um...yeah, well, give me a glass, then take it indoors, Pop.

I’ll bet the woman singer Friday night lip-synched to her own recording, that recording was left in the player, and no one thought to switch it for the chorus’s music last night. An easy mistake in that case, and nothing to go crazy over.
