‘Pride’ Night at the Old Ballpark
American Thinker.com ^ | June 24, 2021 | J. Robert Smith

Posted on 06/24/2021 4:47:24 AM PDT by Kaslin

Major League Baseball teams have been celebrating “Pride Month” via Pride Nights at ballparks across the Majors. June is Pride Month, in case you’ve missed the hype. Outdoing itself, the MLB is partying “all season long.” One wonders why there needs to be a month of any celebration. Should October be refashioned as “Halloween Month?” Is there an “Irish Month,” which St. Patrick’s Day is the capstone? And why limit Groundhog Day to a day?

Yet gay pride is now LGBTQ+ (the plus is currently optional) pride because being homosexual isn’t enough. Every sexual variant not heterosexual and practiced by a tiny minority of people is to be granted a month’s worth of recognition and celebration. The Grand Old Game has no reprieve from being rainbowed.

Advertises the Phillies for their Pride Night:

The Phillies invite you to celebrate Philadelphia's rich LGBTQ culture at our fifth annual Pride Night presented by the GIANT company at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday, August 25 at 7:05 p.m. when the Phillies host the Tampa Bay Rays.

All members of the LGBTQ community, as well as family, friends and organizations are invited to come out and show their pride at this event.

The first 1,000 fans to purchase tickets for this event will receive a coupon for an exclusive Phillies Pride Night cap

Just a thousand caps are being given away. That’s a paltry sum, which hints at what a small draw this event is.

And please cite examples of “rich LGBTQ culture?” What exactly is LGBTQ culture? Is there LGBTQ cuisine? If it exists, does it rival, oh, Cuban cuisine? Don’t cite a guy like Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, as a cultural icon.

Ballpark Franks - they plump when you cook ‘em.

I do miss watching baseball, but every day I miss it a bit less.

The sports teams are really forgetting who pays their salary and it is not the CCP! Going to watch the collapse of all of these teams in the USA.

When is “Psychotic Homeless” month?
Lets celebrate as much untreated mental illness as possible.
I’m sure attendance will increase with psych-homeless given free attendance and light meal.
Hold the free beer to only 3 by the 7th inning.
They will be complacent, right?

No worries folks. This is will go away. It is a fad. The other day I heard about a trans couple getting married. They were pre-op male-to-female and pre-op female-to-male. They will be calling that traditional marriage soon.

And all members of the normal community, as well as normal family, friends, and organizations are invited to mock and ridicule the prancing fairies as they pretend to like baseball, as they destroy it.

I want my country back.

Major League Baseball is desperate to attract any fans that haven't already walked away years ago.

In this case, it appears they're trying to attract soccer fans.

“All lgbtq are invited to show their pride”?!?! So the cameras will zoom in on on them as they “show” this?

Is there LGBTQ cuisine?

Yes. Salami and packed fudge has been an LGBTQ mainstay for decades.

Another reason I have stopped watching, listening, attending MLB games.

Married monogamous child raising husbands and wives are the essential foundation of our civilization.

At best, LGBTQs are frills and flourishes.

The switching of the All Star game was it for me. I really stopped watching games about q0 years ago. I occasionally looked at the standings. I don’t even do that anymore.

I wonder what the "7th inning stretch" will be like?

Haven’t watched a single pitch all season. Don’t even check the standing, although I sense the Rangers still suck.

Same. I told them, “Fire Manfred and I’ll come back.”

He’s still employed there, so I’m over here.

This whole thing is an op. Covid, the alienation of fans, the forced divisions. It’s a great big op.
