MLB slammed over ‘hypocrisy’ targeting Christian players<\/h4>\n

Kayleigh McEnany blasts Major League Baseball for alleged hypocrisy, singling out Christian players while allowing other expressions. She cites the San Francisco Giants’ players being warned for Bible verses on hats, contrasted with drag queens on the Dodgers’ field and “BLM” logos on pitcher’s mounds. Former MLB catcher Raffy Lopez joins to discuss his support for players expressing faith.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While sane Americans were celebrating the MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, the lunatics in Portland, Oregon were cheering along as two men made out on a baseball field during a ‘Heated Rivalry’ theme night.<\/p>\n

The Portland Pickles, a collegiate summer baseball organization known for pulling Savannah Bananas-like antics, promoted Tuesday’s game as a high tension night where “someone’s definitely ending up in the penalty box” as a nod to the HBO gay hockey series that is supposedly a huge ratings success, yet HBO has refused to share viewership totals with OutKick.<\/p>\n

With families in attendance Tuesday night, the Pickles decided to honor the HBO show by creating a script where a pitcher hits a batter. The batter charged the mound, and with little kids watching, the two men embrace and start kissing. At least one little girl can be seen covering her eyes as the men kiss.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Philly, sane America was celebrating with a Sandlot tribute and Ray Charles singing “America the Beautiful.”<\/p>\n

The divide between sane America and the demented America that Portland wants to export across this country can’t be any clearer. This isn’t about two men kissing. This is about taking one of the final wholesome places left for families \u2014 the Pickles are holding a Fart Night this Friday night \u2014 and turning it into a LIB stunt factory where kids are subjected to the Alphabet Mafia’s whims.<\/p>\n

“Guess I can check off ‘making out on the diamond during a professional baseball game’ from my list,” the gay pitcher, who goes by J.P. Hardy, wrote to his fans on Instagram Story.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the usual suspects are out defending this on social media, especially on Twitter where this is being framed by the woke LIB lunatics as just a kiss.<\/p>\n

“Little girl in the background immediately, instinctively, and rightly, covers her eyes. Everyone knows this s\u2013t is wrong but white liberal women keep forcing it into ever(y) facet of our lives. Fatigue,” wrote a Twitter user.<\/p>\n

That was immediately countered by the typical lunatics who want to normalize this spectacle.<\/p>\n

“You mean like any little kid does when they see two people kissing..? They find all kissing gross. Gtfo here with your bigotry,” the lunatic replied.<\/p>\n

The Pickles will hold Pride Night on Thursday. What happened to June being Pride Month? Apparently the Pickles didn’t get enough in June, so they are holding a big bash this week.<\/p>\n

The team promises the night will be a “celebration of LGBTQ+ people, joy, and chosen family, because the world is weird enough without anyone feeling unwelcome. Love is love, baseball is baseball, and this park is for everyone.”<\/p>\n
