LA Dodgers Ignore Baseball to Focus on Repenting for Their Sins
The clip below is from a fascinating article on FoxNews – please read the whole thing. As you may recall, the Los Angeles Dodgers invited “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” to appear at their LGBTQWTF night, in their ongoing efforts to educate the community of Los Angeles about baseball. Then the Dodgers were reminded that a huge part of their fan base is Hispanic Catholics who don’t appreciate the open ridicule of that group, so they un-invited them. Well, you will not be surprised to learn that after further reflection, the Dodgers have changed their mind again:
My goodness. Those must have been some meetings. So after “generous discussions with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” the Dodgers are pleased that the Sisters “have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades.”
Wow.
The picture in the article shows a sample of the work they have been doing tirelessly for decades. It looks different than the work I’ve done over the course of my career. Different type of thing, I guess.
President Biden is Catholic. So I’m sure he’ll be calling the Dodgers to straighten them out on this…
There’s so much here. But I can’t get past the “generous discussions with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” The Dodgers say they are thankful that The Sisters deigned to meet with them. Chairman Mao would be proud.
This is not about gay issues. It’s not about abortion. It’s not even about the Catholic faith. And it certainly is not about baseball, which is what the LA Dodgers used to be focused on. It’s not about any of those things.
It’s about power. That’s it.
Chairman Mao would be proud.
If this doesn’t scare you, you’re not paying attention.

I wonder if there is even one solitary person employed by MLB who had the balls to ask, “Why are we expecting/requiring our franchises to host events where the theme is people’s sexual preferences and activities?”
Exactly. What if their customers just want to watch a baseball game?
People watch sports to avoid politics.
Don’t you see? They save lives!!!
🤮🤮🤮
For the record, I don’t love the Christian Faith and Family Night either. Can’t they just do a Clayton Kershaw bobblehead giveaway and be done with it?
Sheesh.
I see extreme narcissism striving to be the center of attention. They are broken.
Absolutely agree. People buy tickets to watch baseball.
Shut up and play.
This is now my favorite formulation. Going to be using it.
I wonder if any of the “sisters” will be wearing clothes they picked up at the airport luggage carousel?
Someone should ask Rob Manfred what the Commissioner of Baseball should do.
Kenesaw Mountain Landis, call your office.
And this is really just too little too late.
People should know you can’t play both sides. Just pick one and go with it.
Pride, gay, trans and all the weird stuff is now what the population tolerates and the elites / government require.
The Church could not stop it in the past. Now it has lost it all. Soon there will be no Church at all. All there will be in a thousand years is a slight notice in history about a weird strange culture that went away so quickly it was not even noticed.
I wonder if the Dodgers would have had such generous discussions in the Indulgent Sisters were parodies of the Muslim Sisterhood – Transsexuals in burkhas and hijabs – and not Catholic nuns?
That would be hate speech. You’re not allowed to ridicule religions.
Obviously…
Just shut up and play ball . . .
I suspect the population is no longer going to be tolerant of this garbage. And that’s on the El-Jibbity Jihad for targeting kids. (And, of course, open blasphemy.)
That’s the kind of thing that makes it to the funny memes page, but no one will try it for real.
Some of what matters is what the “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” actually does at the Dodgers Baseball game. If they just show up and take some sort of BS award then it is not a big deal. On the other hand they do their whole Christ on a Cross with Trans games things can get interesting.
If they play baseball, it’s not a big deal.
If they promote a political position – ANY political position, then they’re in the wrong place.
You beat me to posting this. Was thinking about it when reading the comment.
I hope you are right but suspect you are not. The government is now involved and a large amount of the Left is going to use the feds to push it all the way through until they win and push the next way to destroy the old fashion ways and break the churches.
That’s what’ll wake up the Normies at last. And we might actually save this country. Because all the left needed to do was keep the Normies asleep. But they couldn’t hold back.
Despair is a sin.
It reminds me of the old Saw, ” How many idiots does it take to field a baseball team?”
As a San Francisco Giants fan I’ve always hated the Dodgers. I did admire other teams in Major League Baseball, in fact I cheered for any team that was playing the Dodgers.
At some point I’m sure the Giants front office will disappoint me.
As the late great sportswriter Beano Cook quipped when Major League Baseball was going to offer the freed Iranian hostages lifetime passes to all MLB games he asked if they hadn’t already suffered enough.
Doc I appreciate whatever it is you think you do.. medicine. or something.
But these (B)nuns are the real life savers. Look how well they’ve got their lives together. Saving our children, one gallon of makeup, a few hormone blockers via big pharma and a couple degraded crucifixes at a time.
it’s quite amazing how such a small group of people have come to project so much power.. it really is quite incredible.
What was attendance at the LGBTQWTF game?
Yeah, it’s inspiring.
Actually, it probably is, to somebody, I guess. I wonder how many people are inspired by them. That number is not zero, but surely it’s a small number.
And then I wonder how many of those people attend major league baseball games?
Is it worth pissing off all the rest of your fans to pander to such a small group?
Does this make sense to anybody?
This is the power of raw power. The left is ruthless. The right is uninterested.
Which means we lose.
I fixed it for you. Have you been to a professional sports event lately?
Pride nights have become annual events for I think every team in the majors for at least a year or two. I’ve noticed them. What’s different here is the blatant insults to Catholics. In the past they limited it to strictly pro-gay promotion. Now they are ridiculing Christianity because traditional Christianity cannot accept the homosexual lifestyle.
Of course not.
