To Beat the Dodgers’ Anti-Christian Hate, MLB Stars Must Refuse to Play Ball

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ appalling decision to honor an anti-Christian hate group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence during their “Pride Night” on June 16 has been met mostly with a deafening silence from the vast majority of Major League Baseball players. Even Catholics, whose faith is particularly singled out for mockery by this LGBT hate group, have been largely mute.

As of this writing, only four players in the entire league have said anything about it, and one of those four has already caved to the rainbow mob. The only Catholic player to come forward has been Trevor Williams, a starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Williams denounced the Dodgers and called on his fellow Catholics “to reconsider their support of an organization that allows this type of mockery of its fans to occur.”

The only Dodgers player to come forward so far has been relief pitcher Blake Treinen, who also released a clear statement Tuesday criticizing the Dodgers organization for honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, rightly saying the group “promotes hate of Christians and people of faith.” . . .

As welcome as the statements by Williams and Treinen were, they weren’t enough. Faced with what amounts to open hostility to the Christian faith, MLB players need to do more than issue statements. As Mollie Hemingway suggested the other day on Twitter, players who support religious tolerance should refuse to take the field on June 16 in protest. If the Dodgers want to insult Christians by honoring a group that blasphemes their faith, then players should simply decline to participate that day. It would send a clear message that the MLB pursues aggressive LGBT activism at its peril. (Read more from “To Beat the Dodgers’ Anti-Christian Hate, MLB Stars Must Refuse to Play Ball” HERE)

Anthony Varvaro, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who retired to become a cop in the New York City area, was killed in a car crash Sunday morning while en route to work at the 9/11 memorial ceremony in Manhattan.

Varvaro, who left the mound in 2016 to join the Port Authority Police Department, was fatally struck in a head-on collision by a driver who was going in the wrong direction after crossing lanes. That driver, 30-year-old Henry Plazas, was also killed in the crash, New Jersey State Police said.

The former MLB pitcher, who played baseball at St. John’s before signing with the Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Braves, and Boston Red Sox, was in a Jersey City stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike when the crash occurred. He was on his way to work a shift at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, where the 9/11 anniversary ceremony was underway.

“The crash remains under investigation and there is no additional information available at the moment,” a State Police spokesman said in a statement. (Read more from “Former MLB Pitcher Who Became NYC Cop Killed on Way to 9/11 Memorial” HERE)

MLB Team Choses New Name Following Woke Backlash (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Cleveland Indians officially announced their new name on Friday.

The decision to change the name came last year amid racial tension in the U.S. as professional sports teams came under fire for having Native American monikers.

The baseball team will be known as the Guardians. . .

Cleveland launched a section on its official website dedicated to the new name. Team owner Paul Dolan wrote in a letter to fans the “Indians will always be part of our history just as Cleveland has always been the most important part of our identity.”

“In searching for a new brand, we sought a name that strongly reflects the pride, resiliency and loyalty of Clevelanders. Guardians embodies those defining attributes while drawing upon the iconic Guardians of Traffic proudly standing just outside Progressive Field on the Hope Memorial Bridge,” Dolan wrote. “It brings to life the pride of Clevelanders take in our city and the way we stand for each other while defending our Cleveland process.” (Read more from “MLB Team Choses New Name Following Woke Backlash (VIDEO)” HERE)

Major League Baseball (MLB) is now questioning fans about political affiliation in their new post-game survey about the ballpark experience.

MLB is under new scrutiny as a new survey shows fans are being about political affiliation in a ballpark experience in a post-game survey. In a report from National Review, MLB claims the questions asked regarding political affiliations are “part of the extensive fan surveys MLB is conducting this year around the ballpark experience.”

The league claims the surveys are for are to try trying to “gain knowledge about fan perceptions, preferences, and behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.” Of course, according to a recent poll done by Morning Consult, it was found, their favorability levels have completely collapsed within the Republican base.

For pro-sport Republicans, rating collapsed 35 percent, down from 47 percent to 12 percent in only a month. The poll showed the MLB used to have the “highest net favorability rating among Republicans of the four major sports leagues before the All-Star Game decision,” Morning Consult noted.

Texas Governor Boycotts MLB: Declines To Throw First Pitch After League Pulls All-star Game From Atlanta

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has declined to throw the first pitch at the Texas Rangers’ home opener and declined to participate in any Major League Baseball (MLB) events after the league announced plans to relocate their All-Star Game from Atlanta in response to Georgia’s newly passed election integrity law.

“Major League Baseball adopted what has turned out to be a false narrative about the election law reforms in Georgia, and, based on that false narrative, moved the MLB All-Star game from Atlanta,” Abbott said in a statement. . .

Perhaps even more importantly, Abbott said he would “not participate” in any MLB events. Nor will the state of Texas offer to host the MLB All-Star Game “or any other MLB events.”

The MLB relocating from Atlanta is projected to cost the city as much as $190 million in revenue, hurting Atlanta’s majority black population that is just overcoming the Chinese pandemic.
