Clayton Kershaw pushed for Dodgers to announce Christian night in response to LGBTQ+

The Los Angeles Dodgers moved up the announcement of their Christian Faith and Family Day because star pitcher Clayton Kershaw was unhappy the team chose to highlight the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a prominent LGBTQ+ charity.
The Dodgers have hosted Christian Faith and Family Day in previous seasons, and were reportedly planning to hold the event during the 2023 MLB season, but Kershaw wanted the team to make the announcement sooner as a response to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence receiving an award, according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
“I think we were always going to do Christian Faith Day this year, but I think the timing of our announcement was sped up,” Kershaw said. “Picking a date and doing those different things was part of it as well. Yes, it was in response to the highlighting of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence [by the Dodgers].”
Kershaw tweeted the announcement about the team holding Christian Faith and Family Day, which will be held July 30.

Kershaw viewed the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's methods as mocking and took exception to that, per the Los Angeles Times.
“I don’t agree with making fun of other people’s religions,” he said. “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.”
The Dodgers initially caved to that pressure, rescinding the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's invitation to Pride Night. The decision was met with disappointment from local LGBTQ+ groups, which vowed to withdraw from the event unless the team reversed course.
The team eventually did reverse course, and re-invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take part in Pride Night.

so what? I am still at a loss for why so many corporations give so much importance to what other people think of them. Woudl the Dodgers really take a financial hit to the bottom line if the gays stopped attending or buying their merch?

"How dare they not allow us to mock a religion? Even though we don't watch baseball, we're not coming back unless we can mock an entire religion."

Thank you for sharing.
I’m never be tired of one of the best pitchers of our generation, in LA California telling the world he’s a Christian and forcing his employer to prioritize a Christian Family Night.

You know what day people want at the park? Baseball day. That's all we care about. We just want to watch baseball when we're at the baseball park.

That won't end well. The war on Christianity is raging hard.

I agree wholeheartedly with Clayton.
Except for Scientology, Islam, and Mormons. Those 3 are fair game because they are hilarious. It is really hard to NOT make fun of them.
But other than that, I stand with Clayton.

99% of Mexicans are Catholic. This would go over way better with the Dodgers fanbase than trying to cater to L.A. gays who don't like baseball in the first place.

Despite being a career Dodger, Kershaw is a good ole baw from Texas so this makes sense.

I have removed Chavez Ravine from my bucket list.

If only these phaggits still got made fun of instead of actively encouraging them. God were fricked.

It’s hard to accept Pride when absolutely disgusting shite is being publicly tied to it and supported. If it was just normal LGBT people happy and celebrating, I think it really would be easier for more people to accept it. Their own movement doesn’t seem to police the crazies and bad actors, too many seem to support them.
