Okay - here's the pop quiz for today, class: Name all of the MLB players who've come out of whatever closet they were 'hiding' in. I'll wait here.
Major League Baseball has replaced its traditional logo across social media and digital platforms with a Pride-themed version for June, featuring the league’s iconic batter silhouette set against the colors of the Progress Pride flag as 'Pride Month' begins across the United States.
The annual logo change coincides with dozens of LGBTQ+ events planned by teams throughout the league, including Pride Nights, special merchandise giveaways, community partnerships, and fundraising efforts.
Yet the campaign also highlights a longstanding reality within professional baseball: despite years of inclusion initiatives, there are currently no publicly out active players on a Major League Baseball roster.
So - it bears the question - just who the fuck are they proud of, and why? Certainly, the vast majority of people in the stands aren't Moms and Pops and kids. It has to be all the queens sitting in the bleachers they want to be proud of.
This shit makes my brain hurt.

ReplyDeleteThey're proud of being afraid of the left.
ReplyDeleteThis is the free market at work. MLB is making sure that a portion of their fans feel respected, included, etc. However small the proportion of gay-MLB fans is, MLB feels it is still important to their bottom line to keep them happy. MLB is not pro or against gay people they are pro $. Making sure that gay people are happy is good for business.
ReplyDeleteBecause this is a free market, you are also free to stop watching baseball at anytime if the rainbow logo bothers you that much.
From a pure business stand point. Gay (men and women) are some of the most profitable customers for any business. On average they have higher educations which means they make more money and tend not to have kids which mean they have a higher disposable income.
Are the Texas Rangers still the only team that will not celebrate the weirdo agenda?
ReplyDeletethey were probably told "You're gonna." and nobody told 'em to stick where the sun don't shine
