I truly love baseball. But more than baseball, I love God. Given the decision between being a fan of any sports team and supporting my religious beliefs, I know that God is my real captain and I will always choose my faith. And I believe that when push comes to shove, most people feel the same. I also recognize that it is my religious obligation to support other people of faith in their journey.
Which is why I am so sad that I will not be attending baseball games thanks to the irresponsible management of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball, following the team’s blatant attack

I've been boycotting MLB for years. It would be easier for me to publish the list of things I am NOT boycotting.

People of faith need to stick together. We are all under attack. Rabbi Barclay understands this well. So do protestants like myself, who are totally disgusted by the antics of these anti-Catholic bigots. We consider attacks on our Catholic brethren to be as intolerable as attacks on us. We're shoulder to shoulder.

I can no longer remember the date that Major League Baseball Players went on strike but I do remember my reaction to that action.
I couldn't believe that grown men, who were paid LARGE sums of money for "playing" a game would go on strike for more money.
That day, whenever it was, is the day I quit being a baseball fan. I've since completely lost interest in pro baseball. I still like to watch the grandkids play on their teams and the Japanese leagues are interesting to see the fans cheer in unison.
In addition, basketball is totally boring and I will watch the Packers football if there's no fresh paint to watch drying.

The LA Dodger Organization is scum. And they have been scum since 1957, when they abandoned their loyal fan base and left New York

It's the Dodgers. It's L.A. Land of Hollywood and all the woke anti-American propaganda one could possibly stomach. It's the land of politicians that approve reparations even though the state has no money. It's the state losing more citizens moving to other states than any other state. It was also the state that gave up the mask requirement long after it was obvious masks didn't work. I don't know of any other baseball franchise that is doing this. Now if I had tickets to this game, I wouldn't go, or if this suddenly became a full MLB mandate like wearing pink everything for Mother's Day or wearing camo clothes to celebrate vets, then a boycott would certainly be in line. However, just because one left wing woke baseball team from a left wing woke state decides to celebrate trans BS isn't going to stop me from watching something I enjoy watching.

Sorry Rabbi, but I am a diehard Yankee fan since my teens and until the Yanks go woke, I won't boycott. If the Dodgers come to NY and play the Yanks, I'll skip that game. I can't stand any California teams as they are all woke.

My first last and only baseball game was back in the late 90s. I had won tickets off of the local FM morning radio show. It was so boring that I almost fell asleep. That's why I don't have any interest in anything dealing with MLB.

The Dodgers walked away from two thirds of their television audience with the Spectrum contract. Home attendance remains strong. When a sports franchise is in a vast population market, like the Dodgers, they can give millions the finger and still make money. This is their intent by promoting an anti-Catholic homosexual group. I am not a Catholic but still take personally this action by the Dodgers. This is sleaze by Dodger management.

great piece..
i posted the Goodbye Minnesota (above) and
even though i've been a lifelong Twins fan
have pretty much given up on the
Minnesota Twinks (as called in the past)
since they put a shrine to gEORGE fLOYD
on their right field wall...
remember the 65 Series? Twins v Dodgers..
ancient history

I haven't been to a professional baseball game since the White Sox played someone I can't remember in the old Comisky Park. I've occasionally watched the Cubs or the Red Sox since then, but I really prefer watching college baseball, especially when my Dawgs are playing.

Been boycotting MLB since they went on strike and cancelled the World Series in '94. Same with the NFL kneelers. I vote with my dollars too. I'm ashamed when I see (ignorant) people sitting in those stands, spending their money on players and teams who hate their country. I'm done...you?

I haven't watched an NFL or NBA game in years. And I never will watch one again. Their wokeness killed any interest I had in those sports.
If MLB allows the Dodgers to go through with this evil blasphemous act, pro baseball will join the "never again" list.
You see, I don't "boycott". Boycotts indicate a temporary stoppage until something evil changes. Nope, once you lose me, I am done. I don't care of the entire league puts on sackcloth and ashes and begs for forgiveness, too little too late.

From this point on anyone who doesn't boycott baseball is, as far as I'm concerned, a sad excuse for a Christian.
Leftist humanists mock God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, but they do so at their own peril. God will NOT be mocked. They will suffer eternal damnation, because they rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior. They mock God, so their suffering will start in time. Their sins shall seek them out. Evil.

The Yankees already bowed to the altar of woke, #6. In 2019 they put a plaque honoring the Stonewall Inn out in Monument Park and they established a college scholarship program for homosexual high school graduates. Guess they just felt like they had to do something to grovel, like everybody else.

Every American should have already been boycotting MLB since they first took a knee, Goddamn them all!
