The "team" did not sponsor "Gay Day" but a member of the Rangers' organization did sponsor "gay day". Mr. Silverman had sponsored a gay day event for another sports organization he worked for. You can continue to pull the wool over your own eyes.

Mr. Silverman initiated a Gay Days event during Pride Week. Despite your belief that it is coincidental and just an effort to sell tickets. Mr. Silverman is a homosexual activist in this regard.

There is much more money to be made in encouraging people of all demographics to come to the park every day. I am unaware of many groups that buy 1,000 tickets as a block seating section to ANY games (even the homosexual crowd here is an alliance of several homosexual organizations to get the numbers high enough to be visible).

A sales representative has no authority to do such a thing. Do you work for a company and understand how they function? Johnson down in the Dead Letters Department in all likelihood does not have the authority to decide what he wears to work, much less declare "Gay Day" for the entire organization.

Mr. Silverman had sponsored a gay day event for another sports organization he worked for.

Wrong. The article states that "A sales representative who helped organize last year’s Gay Day for the Dallas Burn, the city’s major league soccer team, now works for the Rangers..." Mr. Silverman is not a sales representative but rather is the Vice President of Ticket Sales.

You can continue to pull the wool over your own eyes.

All I'm doing is stating the facts. You're free to invent your own.

Mr. Silverman initiated a Gay Days event during Pride Week.

Show me in the article where it says that? Have you actually read the article?

Despite your belief that it is coincidental and just an effort to sell tickets. Mr. Silverman is a homosexual activist in this regard.

I have stated that I don't the extent of involvement of the Texas Rangers, only that they did not sponsor a Gay Day. Where do you get the idea that Mr. Silverman is a homosexual activist?

There is much more money to be made in encouraging people of all demographics to come to the park every day.

The Rangers are perfectly happy to sell tickets to anybody and do encourage people. Oh, and Ranger CEO Mike Cramer in his Scott Wilder interview said that only 200 tickets had been sold. Looks like they're not going to have their rainbow shirts, much less a block of 1,000 seats.

This conversation with you is becoming bizarre. You don't know the facts and are inventing things out of whole cloth.
