There is a way to honor pride night like the White Sox and I believe all other clubs except Texas did, without honoring people who mock important religious symbols and tenets of 4 million Los Angeles area current and potential customers. As bad as Jerry can be, I’m glad Jerry doesn’t support this, just as I know he wouldn’t honor a group denigrating the faith of Muslims, Jews or any other faith or religious groups as part of a White Sox promotion of “Pride”. White Sox Honors Nuns Dodgers honor “nuns”

The "He Gets us" campaign is funded by an organization that includes the Hobby Lobby ownership (heavily lobbied to get the Supreme Court to rule against contraceptive coverage), has donated to a church whose website states "“all people who do not have faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in hell,” and to another group that has been labeled as an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group.

Well this started with a post saying that the Dodgers had endorsed "Satan Worship" and you explained to me that was because of an LGBTQ+ group. Are you saying there's a difference between those?

Are you saying there's a difference between those? I was explaining what the other poster was alluding to, as it was obvious what group he meant. I haven’t looked into them, as they’re clearly freak shows and provocateurs. And no, in case it’s necessary, I don’t draw a connection between all LGBTQIA2S+ groups and satanism. Apologies if I missed a letter or two.

Unlike the other major sports...maybe hockey is similar, the playoffs are an absolute crapshoot. The goal of any organization should be to make it there. Once there, all bets are off. Yep - and the Dodgers have a ring, plus another one they would have won without historic cheating. They're doing just fine.

Trust me they have been bitching about his contract all season and not liking the signing. That being said...I'm really happy for Jose and I will be seeing him Wednesday. Fans are fans. I'm sure they are thrilled with Jose now. Mr. October indeed. He still had 90 RBI in the regular season. Hit .237. They shouldn't care about a stat like batting average which means nothing. He drew 42 walks. 130 strikeouts is high but not in 2023, Go Jose, keep it up in postseason sir! Edited October 12, 20232 yr by greg775

Baseball teams can cater to any group many consider worthy or repulsive and should reap the rewards or suffer the consequences for their actions. I encourage people offended by ads promoting Jesus Christ to boycott the Sox if they are so offended. I also encourage any of the four million Catholics in the Los Angeles area to boycott the Dodgers for their support of these provocateurs targeting their faith, performing pole dances and simulating sec acts with Jesus dying on the cross if they are offended. 3 hours ago, Balta1701 said: Well this started with a post saying that the Dodgers had endorsed "Satan Worship" and you explained to me that was because of an LGBTQ+ group. Are you saying there's a difference between those? They interviewed these clowns back in June, and recall at least a few stating they were in the Church of Satan, though I couldn’t find that particular video clip today. https://www.thesisters.org/copy-of-grand-mother-vish-knew Religious beliefs: Church of Satan. There were many groups honored that night, and a Pride Day held for several years or more. I don’t recall organized protests (or at least widely organized protests) reported except against this particular group, for their acts of religious bigotry and hate that would not be celebrated as “pride” if directed toward any other religious group, race or faith. That is the difference between all the other groups honored that day, and this particular group. I’m fine, and I believe a majority of people including Christians were fine or at least tolerant of the MLB June pride nights, including the ones hosted by the White Sox, or even the Dodgers with the exception of honoring this particular group. There were no protests of the Sox version, nor any other team that I recall in June beyond this widely publicized one.

Oh lol so it's that "Church of Satan", and you haven't bothered to educate yourself about them. I like them even more now. Fascinating that you went with the pejorative of calling them "Satanic" or whatever word it was rather than saying anything about their actual group or even giving their name. And yes, the idea that I need a conversion ad during sporting events from the same people who were caught looting artifacts from the Middle East bugs the hell out of me, to use an appropriate phrase.

Haha, there’s no theoretical topic that Balta won’t take a contrarian view on.
October 13, 20232 yr Really weird to pinch hit for Harris there since he actually hits lefties pretty well.
October 13, 20232 yr Not a fan of the city of Philadelphia or its fans, and Bryce Harper always seemed like a douchebag to me. Yet I’m somehow rooting for them and I don’t know why.
October 13, 20232 yr Remember when the thought process behind not pursuing Castellanos was that he wasn't good defensively so we should avoid him. Then we played Gavin Sheets in right field.

Glad He Gets Us bugs the hell out of you. Stop watching and boycott, sit and stew about it further, or write Jerry and/or Brooks a sternly worded letter. I hope the ads return next year and beyond. Sure beats listening to endless penis pill and strip club ads pimped on the Score during the years the Sox were exiled on that station because Jerry was pissed Carmen asked Jerry an unauthorized question.
October 13, 20232 yr Thompson with some weird usage of his bullpen. Soto was definitely not the right guy to face Ozuna and Murphy.

October 13, 20232 yr For as good as the Braves lineup is their season really just got decided by Pillar, Rosario, and Grissom.
October 13, 20232 yr The Sox remained in the 25th position after Minnesota failed to advance to the LCS. Let's Go Houston, win it for Pito!!!
