Thousands of demonstrators descended upon Dodgers Stadium Friday evening to protest the team’s Pride Night ceremony honoring a controversial group of queer and trans nuns.
Organized by the group Catholics for Catholics, the massive crowd jammed up the main entrance of the ballpark ahead of the scheduled pre-game ceremony celebrating the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, according to reports.
The mass of protesters, some holding signs like “Bud Light the Dodgers” and “Stop Anti Catholic Hate,” took over the entire block on Vin Scully Avenue and chanted “Save our Children.”
The local chapter of the Sisters, whose members dress up in drag in traditional Catholic nun habits, are being presented with the Dodgers’ Community Hero Award for their “lifesaving work” for the teams’ 10th annual Pride Night.
Critics have blasted the group as a “blatantly perverted, sexual, and disgusting anti-Catholic hate group.”
“We’re hoping that the Dodgers will see the amount of Catholics and Christians showing up here today peacefully,” protestor Anthony Rodriguez told KTLA outside of the stadium. “We’re showing that we’re not budging. We’ve drawn a line in the sand and we’re putting our faith first.”
About an hour before the first pitch, two “nuns” joined members of the Dodgers organization near the third base line to accept the award for what the stadium announcer called “outstanding service to the LGBTQ+ community,” video of the low key, 30-second ceremony shows.
The small crowd in the stadium ahead of game time responded with a mix of cheers and boos, video shows.

If so, Russia must be correct in banning the promotion of the LGBT agenda and sex changes on kids.
Yet, in the war in Ukraine, you're on the side of the Biden regime and those bullying nations worldwide, including Russia, to accept the LGBT agenda.
Woe to those that call evil good and good evil. That's exactly what you're doing in the war in Ukraine -- siding with evil (the Biden regime, "liberal world order" and the neo-Nazis in Ukraine).
I think they must be getting compensated by the richer than God (pardon the expression) global elitist cabal.
MLB = QueerFest
They were BLM Suckers too
I see $47 in the upper deck.
“49,000 attended a the game. Sounds like a good promotion.”
Yes, but they say the boycott was successful.
So successful, that the average attendance for a Dodger game this season is 47000 and last night they only had 49000 in attendance.
That’s Boycott Math.
I have been a Dodger Fan since the day they moved to L.A. from Brooklyn. Attended multiple games over the years and was a huge fan of Vin Scully when he was the Dodger voice. Throughout their history and the glory days of Tommy La Sorda I was an unwavering supporter. Sadly, now I don’t even recognize their management or have an understanding of how they make decisions. I can only assume that Walter O’Malley is turning over in his grave. As of today, sadly, the Dodgers’ have lost this fan.
I see $47 in the upper deck.......
I remember the upper deck being $1—you didn’t get a ticket just a token coin you put in the turnstile. No raincheck because it never rained.

The Fenway bleachers were always fun. I was there 8 times in the early 1990s. Day games. Admittance was $2. It seems they go for 20-70 dollars these days
That was an hour before the game started. Supposedly there were 49000 at the game.
If the capacity is 49,000, I would say at the end of the game there were about 35,000-40,000 there.
Dodger Stadium capacity is 56,000. Very big place.
The capacity is 56000.
As someone said recently we used to be forced to tolerate and allow others the right to what we personally cannot stand but now we are forced to “celebrate” them or get punished. That is not freedom.
And one tiny word of disagreement over a trans or LGBTQ+ person’s choices or their terms for gender and we get lambasted.
But attacks and ridicule of a religion? Go for it.

Guess this wasn’t from Song of Bernadette.
Remember when allowing a BLM acolyte to take a knee or stay in the dugout for the pregame ceremonies was a headline story?
Now they “celebrate” blasphemy.

*That’s Boycott Math.*
When I watched baseball I’d always look into the stands when the ball was hit in the air-same with football(punts). I’d use that as a measure to travel to the city the next year.
Didn’t watch last night’s game. There must be a twitter clip of a fly ball getting hit in the stands mid-game. That would be an accurate measurement.
If I’m not mistaken the National League reports their attendance based on tickets sold (including season tickets already purchased). They do not report their attendance based on bodies coming through the turnstiles.
I go to high school baseball games in the area. $5 entrance fee and $7 meal deal at the concession stand; brat, chips and a drink. The kids are the Fall football and Winter wrestling talent pool as well as spring track. There are some really good games since Seniors are out to even the score for football and wrestling losses before they head out on life.
We used to go to the San Jose Giants (CA) farm club games. Really good baseball, economical, a fun old-school stadium, great food, and silly games the players would play (like trying to knock out the headlights in an old truck from 90 ft away). The games were more fun and a game, food and drink could be had for under $25 twenty years ago.
