    Too late. I was the world's biggest Red Sox fan. Also loved the Bruins. Sports are unwatchable anymore. 2 years ago I bought me a little camper and we now spend our weekends in the woods ignoring the world including baseball. I wish they had stopped their march to Sodom years ago.

    I didn't get to finish my post before I hit the button.

    Anywho, the commercials were two men are kissing, the kneeling down on the baseline during the national anthem, the constant subtle attacks on American families, The fanatical commie announcers at the games and in the talking head shows, of all just nudged me out a little by little and now I'm out. These players said nothing during the whole march up to this and now that the Americas revolting against the transgenderism they're coming out. Give me a break.

    You are a fan and admit it took time to nudge you out.

    The consequence… you spend your weekends camping….

    The players reached their point a couple years later than you…

    The consequence… possibly losing millions of $$$ in salary and vicious attacks in themselves and their families…

    So yeah, what they did was very brave and you should give them a break for being two years behind you in getting fed up.

    peace to you

    It turns out the Texas Rangers are having no part in any pride night, or any League wide celebration. As a team. This flies right in the face of stated MLB policy, and it will be interesting to see if they try to enforce anything on them.

    I know most of us saw that horrible display in LA concerning the sisters of perpetual lunacy or whatever they were, that wasn't just an attack on Catholicism. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only Christian horrified to know that the coach and at least one other player that I know of claim Christ as their savior. Had to be hard for them to watch.

    I know I said I was bowing out of the conversation but when I read this today about the Rangers I thought I'd had it here. On topic and everything.

    29 MLB teams now host a Pride Night. Only one - the Texas Rangers - does not

    This went through my mind also.
    I'm not a huge sports fan, but I did use to watch baseball with my dad.

    It does seem too little too late.
