If you lived here in the United States 30 years ago would you ever imagine anything like this ever happening?

[gcruse]

I thought it was the gays who were pushing their agenda into the face of others. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Grut]

You try to rain on somebody else's parade, you get booted.

How do you feel about anti-hunting activists who make a nuisance of themselves on opening day? They're just trying to keep folks from sinning, too.

"He speculates that the Philadelphia team's corporate owners may have feared negative publicity. "

Negative publicity? Heh heh. Watch out , Phillie. I hear the distant roar of a mighty 'whoosh' coming your way. Apply for your food stamps early and avoid the rush.

I would have told him to stick the ticket up his ass, he could keep it. I did not want his money or his ticket[s].

But then again, I would not have spent my hard earned money on a baseball game ticket anyway.

[RJCogburn]

they did have their money refunded and each received a free ticket to another Phillies game.

Well, the Lord does work in mysterious ways.

[Petronski]

Marcavage says although they were asked to leave the ballpark, they did have their money refunded and each received a free ticket to another Phillies game...on Bestiality Night at the Vet!

[caisson71]

This is another reason for the decline of baseball in America. After being a youth coach for years, I don't even watch the TV games anymore much less pay the outrageous price of a ticket.

[nickcarraway]

At least they didn't throw them to lions as an after-game event. How long before that's a promotion?

Good point. I too don't think such a thing could have occurred in America in 1973. Back then we had property rights in America and the owner of a piece of property could toss someone off his land without incident. But today people seem to lack the understanding of private property and think they can do whatever they want on land they do not own.

Ah yes the moral equivalency
Christianity -Hunting -Anti Hunting -and the promotion of Sodomy....
In "Veterans" stadium

[Spok]

Why th' heck would any Christian want to go anywhere billed as a 'Gay Community Day'? I'd just be sure they steam clean and disinfect everything when they're done.

[Jhoffa_]

IMO, the fact that they even have a "queer day" is shocking enough..

What's next? We gonna celebrate other types of deviant behaviors with a special day also?

"Yes, it's pedophile day here at Veterans Stadium and lookie here! It's Bob the umpire and his young friend. How's it going guy's? Hey! Wait a minute, you can't do that here.. Security! Security!"

[Belial]

This was a day to say to a small community: Hey, we recognize you exist, we wish to market to you, we don't discriminate against you.

A few wingnuts show up to piss on their parade and get asked to leave. Surprising? Nope...

If a bunch of gays trooped into your church waving banners that said "Jesus is an adolescent myth" wouldn't you expect them to be ushered out?

Don't you believe the owners of the stadium have the right to market to whoever they want?

Doesn't this all come down to the fact that gays were being given a modicum of respect?

[Zeroisanumber]

I'd expect similar treatment if I unfurled a banner reading "All Hail the Great Lord Satan" at a Promise Keeper's event. The only thing that I find unusual about this article is that the banner holders were so suprised.

[Caipirabob]

So much for Baseball being a "Man's Game".

[fortunecookie]

Next time, they'll just be thrown onto the field for some 7th inning stretch 'entertainment'. Harassment determined by the crowds. (Is that a violin I hear?...)

[Dave S]

And if they had a family day or Christian Day at the ball park, how would you react if someone unfurled a banner saying that all Christians were intolerant bigots and that Christ was a fraud. I very much doubt the Vet would let those banner holders stay either. The point is not who is right but whether showing of that banner is an insult to the Vet's invited guests that night.

The people being thrown out should have known better. My bet is that they knew they would be thrown out if they unfurled the banner, but they did it anyway just so people like yourself would be pissed off.

[Russell Scott]

Another sign of how close we are to the end of sin, sickness, disease, death, and all the other works of the devil.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

So?
