For at least an hour and 45 minutes (and probably far longer) before game time tonight, an estimated 2,000 people blocked the main gates to Dodger Stadium, on Pride Night, where The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were slated to receive honors from the team.
A number of them were from out of state, and at least two couldn't figure out whether they were simply protesting The Sisters, Pride Night, or both.
The game between the Dodgers and Giants WAS started, apparently on time. No guarantee, however -- and we're looking closely into it -- as to whether the ceremonies scheduled pre-game were held or not.
Apparently, the Dodgers gave them a designated protest area at TWO THIRTY -- and, of course, giving these Nazis an inch meant giving them a mile.
Hey Kershaw!! You might wanna consider cancelling that religious day you got put on the calendar about a month hence. I could see that counter-protested.
But the fact that we have had such war declared (just on the professional sports level, much less anything else!) on LGBTQ matters -- which see the Russian NHL and Gary Bettman's limp-wristed response -- probably means that the only league which MIGHT attempt this within a year's time might be the NBA, as I was going to say in the other article before this all blew up.
