The professional sports industry is responding negatively.
Some leagues and teams assumed they could support organizations like Black Lives Matter without facing repercussions.

Recently, the Los Angeles Dodgers took measures to quell criticism by removing a video that some would find objectionable. Now let’s get into the specifics.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of Major League Baseball’s most illustrious teams.
The Dodgers are the most recent company to take part in the debate over the overzealous promotion of Pride Month to their patrons.
When the Dodgers invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take part in the team’s Pride Night celebration, they ran into problems.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a group of biological men who dress as nuns and make fun of Catholic doctrine and customs.
“The organization consists of men dressing up as nuns who take on names such as ‘Sister Porn Again’ and adopt slogans like ‘Go and sin some more’ to mock the words of Jesus, ‘Go and sin no more,’ which call all of us to conversion. The ‘sisters’ also ridicule Jesus’ saving passion, death, and resurrection by turning the crucifixion scene into a pole dance on Easter Sunday — for Christians, the most sacred day of the entire year. They are infamous for filling chalices with yogurt made to look like semen, as well as distributing condoms in a gross simulation of Holy Communion. We could go on with more sordid details, but you get the point,” Senator from Florida Marco Rubio published an opinion piece in The Federalist.
After receiving criticism from a number of LGBTQ organizations threatening to boycott the Dodgers’ Pride Night celebration, the franchise decided to retract its invitation.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were not only invited, but the Dodgers also officially apologized to them.
“A full apology and explanation was given to us by the Dodgers staff which we accept,” the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’s statement read. “We believe the apology is sincere because the Dodgers have worked for 10 years with our community and as well they have asked us to continue an ongoing relationship with them.”
In a recent ad, Rubio criticized the Dodgers for supporting anti-Catholic prejudice and the broadcast network that carries their games.
In the ad Rubio was set to say, “Tonight the Dodgers aren’t celebrating pride, they are promoting bigotry. The so-called Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are not community heroes. They are nothing more than an anti-Catholic hate group. For years, the so-called Sisters have desecrated the Catholic faith. Their acts are grotesque and mock the faith of millions in Los Angeles, including many of the players and coaches on the field tonight. Honoring anti-Christian bigots isn’t tolerance. It is a celebration of hatred.”
However, the station turned down the commercial.
Major League Baseball and the Dodgers should be aware of Target and Bud Light’s losses to prevent a possible financial retribution. After attempting to encourage transgenderism among young people, conservative boycotts caused both corporations to see a huge fall in market worth of $28 billion. To protect financial interests, it’s imperative to avoid joining the “woke mob” and to remain impartial.
