Caught this one on Facebook...
The San Diego Gay Men's Chorus took the field to sing the National Anthem before the Padres hosted the Dodgers.
Or, they were supposed to...
Instead, somebody in San Diego decided to play a recording of a female singer singing the National Anthem -- the gentlemen never got a chance to perform it.
Perfunctory apologies have been given, but there does appear to be some reaching out to the community (and the LGBT Community) over this.
But I'm not buying the "no malice" stuff here, Padres. This is too geographically close to the idiot who wanted to execute LGBTs and put it on the ballot here to do so!
DO SOMETHING. NOW.
EDIT 8:30 PM PDT 5/23: And it appears Major League Baseball will be. According to my anonymous friend/baseball historian, MLB IS, at the request of the Chorus, investigating the incident.
