June is going to be “pride month”. Baseball teams are going to have “pride” nights. The Los Angeles Dodgers are among them. The Dodgers invited a group of “trans” men who dress up like Roman Catholic nuns and mock Catholicism, and Eastern Christianity by extension.
When the Roman Catholic Church and its institutions protested, the Dodgers disinvited the trans “nuns”. There was no real apology from the Dodgers whose disrespect for the sacred was apparent by its public statement. After the LGBT activists complained, the cowards in the Dodgers organization re invited the lunatic group and even apologized for disinviting them.
This demonstrates two things. The trans activists have become powerful enough to exert their influence over professional sports and corporations. The second point is that the people who run sports franchises, corporations, and the media have no soul or consciences. The trans activists have taken control.
Orthodox Christians must stand in solidarity with the Roman Catholics. The cultural war we are in must not be lost. Orthodox Christians must join the fight.

Attending professional sporting events is a matter of choice by public consumers. With that in mind I find it amazing a Professional Sports Franchise would do anything that would offend the sensibilities of vast portions of their prospective customers. These are businesses who exist to make a living for their employees, they are not social activist organizations. Like the recent fiascos orchestrated by beer companies and retail store outlets, this flies in the face of their main responsibility-which is to provide a ROI for stockholders and a living for employees. I’m really surprised the Boards of these companies are tolerating such reckless actions by their Sales and Marketing Groups, which impact the bottom line so detrimentally. It seems the zeal of some groups to force their values in the faces of consumers trumps their business concerns? They’re not the virtuous champions they think they are, despite what the popular culture says. I suspect they are impressing far less people than they think and offending far more than they know. Myself, I stopped patronizing pro sports when they forgot they are in the business to entertain and not to promote their political/social beliefs on the buying public. When enough people turn their backs on them, they’ll stop. Their passion for promoting this sort of thing will disappear when it impacts their bottom lines enough.
Sports franchises are following the path of many American corporations. All of them are responding to the trans activists appeal to their narcissism. They think they are doing something brave when in fact they are following the political winds and they are oblivious to the harm being done to children by the LGBT movement. I have read stories of minors (mostly girls) who had the surgical procedures only to realize they made a mistake.
All these corporations are contributing to crimes against children. And the Dodgers organization thinks they are brave when they capitulated to the media to allow a blatantly anti Christian group to appear at one of their games. The boycotts of Anheuser-Busch, Target, and Kohl’s are welcome.
