The Athletic’s reporters… are good news outlets, but can you keep politics out of sports?
“Pride Night” causes problems throughout professional sports organizations, and MLB is no exception. Twenty-nine of the league’s 30 teams have a Pride Night, and the Texas Rangers are the only ones not. And The Athletic, which is owned by The New York Times, is furious about the matter.
An author named Brittany Guiroli wrote an article in The Athletic titled:The Texas Rangers are the only team in MLB that does not have a pride night.it is unlikely to change“
Yes, it’s the same company as before. more layoffsbut let’s continue with this “woke” nonsense that causes nothing but loss of profits and division of nations — but what do I know?
Giroli is also very skillful in how to make this piece, and he started it like this:
“This year, the Texas Rangers will host themed nights such as Choctaw Casino & Resort Nights (where fans who purchase special tickets will receive a ‘reimagined’ Corey Seager jersey) and Harry Potter Nights. I plan to,” Giroli wrote. “They will host community nights billed as ‘a chance to experience Grove Life Field with people who share common interests,’ such as Abilene Christian University night this Friday and Vegan Day on Saturday. is.”
Sounds like a report, right?
Let’s continue:
“Like the other 29 teams in Major League Baseball, they are not going to host Pride Night,” Guillory wrote. “Ironically, we had just played the Rays.” [Pride Night] And the whole message was, ‘Baseball is for everyone,'” said one current Rangers employee. “But not if you’re a Texas Rangers fan.”
And finally, let’s go. Clearly, the agenda is being pushed.
Local advocacy groups such as the Resource Center have been actively lobbying the Rangers to host pride events for the past five years.
Up to this point they have refused.
Current and former Rangers employees are unhappy, they say @Bitt_Ghiroli.https://t.co/u0gtWV1FKy pic.twitter.com/ZPLXxCl0or

I would like to introduce another masterpiece from this work.
“Another former employee who worked on the Fan Experience side said he knew people who were part of the LGBTQ+ community who were uncomfortable talking about their orientation at work,” Guillory wrote. .
Seriously, why should we talk about sex at work?
This is where humanity as a whole has come to the point that it’s a problem that people can’t talk about sex at work. (Related: ‘Wake-up call’: AB InBev’s Marcel Marcondes admits Anheuser-Busch was wrong in Bud Light fiasco)
The rest of The Athletic’s article is filled with Rangers employees (and former employees) who are disappointed in the organization. Oh, and Guillory also spoke with “LGBTQ+ Advocacy Groups” and others who agree with the claims made by this article. No one argues the other side (of course, rightfully so).
It was an absolutely ridiculous, just stupid piece of work, but I am happy to report… America was totally reluctant to do it.
Good for my ranger. They still treat everyone with respect.These articles are quite biased

I’m glad I paid $60 a year for such a shocking story.

I don’t think anyone but a handful of agenda-driven “journalists” cares.

I am proud that they said play ball and shut up politics.

Keep politics out of sports. Clearly, none of us bought it, nor do we want it.
