MLB Players Respond to LA Dodgers Invitation of Anti-Christian Group for ‘Pride Night’
Baseball, it’s America’s pastime and as American as apple pie. Yet, recently, it’s been thrust to the front lines of the culture wars. Players and clubs are juggling modern social controversies trying to keep their traditional fanbase happy, while also bowing down to the pride mafia to keep their ESG scores in pristine order.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have recently felt the sting of their woke Pride Night after they reversed their earlier decision to cut an anti-Christian LGBT organization from their pride night events. Many Christians condemned the inclusion of the blasphemous group, a group known for mocking and insulting Jesus Christ openly. In response, the team turned to its All-Star Christian pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, for damage control and to announce the team’s upcoming Christian family day event:
“Excited to announce the relaunch of Christian Faith and Family Day at Dodger Stadium on July 30th. More details to come— but we are grateful for the opportunity to talk about Jesus and determined to make it bigger and better than it was before COVID. Hope to see you on July 30th!”

Recently though, the face of the team also made his disagreements about hosting the LGBT organization known to the public, stating: “I don’t agree with making fun of other people’s religions. It has nothing to do with anything other than that. I just don’t think that no matter what religion you are, you should make fun of somebody else’s religion. So, that’s something that I definitely don’t agree with.”
“For [my wife and I], we felt like the best thing to do in response was, instead of maybe making a statement condemning or anything like that, would be just to instead try to show what we do support, as opposed to maybe what we don’t,” Kershaw said, “and that was Jesus. So, to make Christian Faith Day our response is what we felt like was the best decision.”
Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen recently released a statement against his team, condemning them for making the same mistake Bud Light and Target have recently made, wading into the woke culture war while disrespecting our Lord and Savior. But it’s not just the Dodger players feeling the impact of the impending pride month shenanigans. As Toronto Blue Jays Pitcher Anthony Bass recently had to grumblingly make a hostage-style apology statement for sharing a video that supported the boycott of Bud Light and Target. Further humiliating the players that don’t have a tolerance for this kind of pride nonsense.
This wouldn’t be the first time in recent memory that MLB players refused or criticized the forced worship of Pride events. Last year, five Tampa Bay Ray’s players refused to wear their pride night event uniforms, expressing that it was a clear violation of their Christian faith to do so. Two years ago, MLB moved its All-Star game out of Atlanta after the state passed sweeping election integrity measures meant to protect its electoral system and voters from possible election sabotage. All was in an effort to stand firm with Black Lives Matter groups and supporters who decried the measurements as more “racist” voter suppression.
Unlike the NBA and NFL, whose players and clubs openly worship BLM and host pride events, MLB may be the last bastion of non-explicitly woke sports ball for the average sports connoisseur. Though, over the last few years, that had begun to change as governments and even woke sponsors demand other businesses bend the knee to progressivism and implement policies to worship progressive central deities.
