But more to the point, if you were to accuse the Rangers of succumbing to pressure by NOT having a homosexual themed event at one of their games, are you accusing them of being disingenuous? As in they really want to do a homosexual themed event, but simply lack the courage to do it? Or are they not doing it because they genuinely don't want to? Which is it? Also, don't these homosexual themed games seem antithetical to a movement seeking to normalize homosexuality? Wouldn't it stand to reason that the best way to normalize any lifestyle or behavior is to NOT dress it up a separate subculture, but to have it be absorbed into the wider culture? Simply put, if I went to a Rangers game and hypothetically the crowd happened to be 20% homosexual, why should I even be able to tell the difference?

@@DueySR it’s kinda political in the sense our president are hosting pride stuff at the White House and having trans people showing their tits to everyone so.. it’s more of a virtue than anything, but you’re blind if you don’t think pride month or just the LGBTQ+ is not political in anyway.
Having a pride night is one thing. Inviting a group that disrespects Christian and catholic faiths is not going to go over well in this county is so prominent. We all have different beliefs and that’s just fine. When you mock other religions don’t be surprising when you catch heat.
Religions persecuting people for their right to love who they love. If the roles were reversed and religious people were persecuted, you'd change your tune. One celebrates individual freedom and the right for all of us to love whoever we like, the other wants to control free loving Americans and decide what they can or cannot do. Christians disrespect human rights. How can you compare that to Pride? Such a braindead argument. Respect yoir right to oppress others? Fuck that.
Everyone just have baseball and be inclusive to whoever shows up. It’s that simple. I’m willing to bet half the attendees at pride night don’t go to a game otherwise but would be the first ones to want to get a team cancelled for not having it.
Why does or should any MLB team celebrate anyone’s sexuality? If you think about it for yourself, it’s not anyone else’s concern other than that person nor should it be. Period.
Shouldn’t it be normal. Shouldn’t we accept it?! Shouldn't we accept all people regardless of gender, sexuality (I mean hetero or homo. Not pedophilia or anything, but that's a completely different topic now), religion or origin. Because if we don't do that, it sounds very inhuman to me.
@@linus4693why do they need others to accept their sexuality? No ones cares if you're gay anymore. We all have gay friends/family. People are simply tired of hearing about it. It's that simple. People are tired of being called bigots for no reason.
@@linus4693 Most people actually don't care about your sexuality, religion, or origin enough to hate. Ironically, what comes naturally for a lot of people---being selfish and not caring enough about strangers personal choices--should BE what we strive for but it is making it harder for me to NOT roll my eyes at you guys whenever a bunch of freaks come on the news and say they represent you. I mean, did you see the 2SLGBTQI+ Press Conference? They got the whole circus (I mean, look at the picture of the people they gathered for it) to dress like complete idiots. The lady on the microphone messed up the acronym like twice--and they have the audacity to propose that messing up pronouns is equal to a hate crime. It's just gross. Look, I know that little group of...god knows what they are...do NOT represent 99% of actual LGBTQ people but my point is the public gets really tired of pride stuff. Sexuality is not that interesting enough to fly a flag about.
@@linus4693 if you want to accept peoples ways go ahead, but I and some others will stick on our path to trying to meet god in heaven.( not saying that you won’t go to heaven)
I’m not saying they did everything right but taking a stand not to promote that garbage on their field clearly earned them God’s blessing because they just won the World Series!
You’re right about how MLB and the teams are acting like pride night is a trend. It shouldn’t be. They should be doing to actually show support rather than cover their asses
I think a lot of people are missing the point of why it can be good to have a pride night. LGBTIA+ people are still not accepted by many groups of people in the US and major organizations like the MLB having a night celebrating those people and saying that they are accepted is important not just for the baseball world(where there are a lot of non-accepting people) but for our entire country. However I'm not saying that the rangers have to have a pride night, but the people that say it is annoying to see other teams and places have a pride night are a part of the problem and are why pride nights should exist.
Years ago i took a bartending course in NJ. The instructor stressed to never discuss politics or religion with your customers. It's bad for the atmosphere & will decrease your tip money. Go woke go broke.
I sure hope you call the Catholic church and southern baptists worse things since those groups have had actual cases of child sex abuse you do know the vast majority of sexual grooming is carried out by heterosexual white men, right? as a straight catholic white guy myself i can acknowledge that because i’m not ignorant to it but projecting onto a group of people based on conspiracy theories about grooming while ignoring religious institutions who regularly have proven abuse scandals is a bit backwards, no?
The fact that Jacob Degrom has it in his contract that they can't hold a pride month while he's contracted is the reason why the Rangers aren't holding one. It's a contractual obligation, not an official stance. The Rangers decided that getting him for their rotation was more important, which is ironic since he had to get TJ, only threw 30 1/3 innings this season, and will miss the lion's share of NEXT season. I want to make this clear, I'm not wishing ill on the man, I just find it interesting that the clause ends up in the contract, and he ends up needing TJ IN PRIDE MONTH.
Pride night shouldn’t be involved with sports teams. Football doesn’t have one so why does every one else. It’s just stupid that it’s becoming a whole issue
I saw this on Twitter I think, but I agree with the comment that it’d be great for teams to opt-in to pride night or other events, instead of opting out. Let players who want to wear pride pins and wristbands wear one, and don’t make those who don’t want to wear one. Same goes for Independence Day, mothers and Father’s Day, and other salute to service. Don’t force players into representing things they either don’t want to or don’t care about. This way, the representation on the field feels more authentic, and fans can actually see players be honest and transparent on where their views are for different events. I feel like this will be better for everyone, because surely there are players on the rangers who would want to represent pride, and players on the dodgers who don’t want to. This is a happy medium and doesn’t force players into doing something they don’t want to

How is not having a pride night controversial for a organization that has nothing to do with sexuality...it's a baseball team that people pay to watch play baseball...from a disappointed dodgers fan, good for the rangers
Am i wrong in thinking SUPPORT should be genuine and not forced? Forcing a team to show support is literally just a ploy to sell merchandise for MLB shareholders and increase profits just like every corporation does in june. But that same forcing of someone to participate in something that goes against thier religious beliefs is literally illegal.
As a lifetime dodger fan I was extremely disappointed and disrespected with what they did. I haven't watched a single game since and have purposely missed 2 games with i had tickets for me and my family. Now I sit here thinking about become a ranger fan or seriously dropping the sport 😔 All the praise goes to my lord and savior Jesus Christ 🙏 🙌 ❤ God bless you and your family.
And yet here we are today. The Texas Rangers are World Champions. Makes the only team not celebrating pride nights so much better bk they stuck to their values and training instead of focusing on sexuality. GO RANGERS!!!
Big props to the Rangers for standing their ground and showing the rest how it can be done instead of shoving it down everyone's throats. All it is for MLB is a money making opportunity. They don't give af. Tbh the majority of the ones who go to pride night only go to that 1 night and forget the rest of the season. The Dodgers front office screwed themselves with that decision to bring that group in. I'm guessing no research was done or anything and now look at them. Lol Like I said pride night is just a way to bring the lgbtqia ppl to a game and have them spend money on merchandise, beer and food. I don't care for it but im there for the game not what's going on.

Smart to stay politically neutral. More teams need to figure this out.
Agreed all politics should be out of sports. Get rid of the national anthem and forcing camo uniforms as a recruiting tool for the military
@@Ebay772488 The Military is Apolitical, it is not republican or democrat. Just like the national anthem is not political. They play the national anthem at sporting events since the beginning of time, and every country has their anthem play at the Olympics, it is not political, just taking pride in your home country.

I've never needed a corporation, or anybody, to validate what I am, who I love or what I represent. I just do what I do and mind my business. But that's just me.
I‘m assuming that you‘re hetero. It is about conveying attention and acceptance to the topic. So that "normal" people are reminded to accept minorities and also to recognize that you are normal even if you don't go with the normal flow. This can be very motivating for minorities/outsiders and they will think that they are not alone.
@@linus4693 No, it's not about "accepting minorities". It's about accepting behaviors. Advocating for treating others with human dignity is different than promoting sexual actions, as the pride movement does.
@@ZacharyCathyes, accepting pedophilia.
@@linus4693if there normal and want to be treated like there normal then they shouldn’t want or need no damn special night or month to celebrate them like all the normal people
@@ZacharyCath Well, thanks for letting everyone know what your biased opinion is towards them. Acceptance is a huge part of the movement. Are the players promoting sexual actions when they have their wife and kids in attendance?
Good rangers are smart

Having a pride night is one thing. Inviting a group that disrespects Christian and catholic faiths is not going to go over well in this county is so prominent. We all have different beliefs and that’s just fine. When you mock other religions don’t be surprising when you catch heat.
Religions persecuting people for their right to love who they love. If the roles were reversed and religious people were persecuted, you'd change your tune. One celebrates individual freedom and the right for all of us to love whoever we like, the other wants to control free loving Americans and decide what they can or cannot do. Christians disrespect human rights. How can you compare that to Pride? Such a braindead argument.
Respect yoir right to oppress others? Fuck that.
I'm not even a catholic but that group is clearly disturbing and belongs no where near any baseball event centered around "acceptance".
Now more teams need to follow suit
do gay people offend you, snowflake?
I bet next year, you will see more teams
@@cody0010Doubt it.
@@ranelgallardo7031 Hopefully anyway. There is no place in sports to have this mess going on.
@@cody0010 What about Jackie Robinson Day or the various ethnic heritage/history nights?
Everyone just have baseball and be inclusive to whoever shows up. It’s that simple. I’m willing to bet half the attendees at pride night don’t go to a game otherwise but would be the first ones to want to get a team cancelled for not having it.
respect to the rangers 👍🏻
Why does or should any MLB team celebrate anyone’s sexuality? If you think about it for yourself, it’s not anyone else’s concern other than that person nor should it be. Period.
He said it. “Being pushed on everybody.”
Shouldn’t it be normal. Shouldn’t we accept it?! Shouldn't we accept all people regardless of gender, sexuality (I mean hetero or homo. Not pedophilia or anything, but that's a completely different topic now), religion or origin. Because if we don't do that, it sounds very inhuman to me.
@@linus4693why do they need others to accept their sexuality? No ones cares if you're gay anymore. We all have gay friends/family. People are simply tired of hearing about it. It's that simple. People are tired of being called bigots for no reason.
@@linus4693 Most people actually don't care about your sexuality, religion, or origin enough to hate. Ironically, what comes naturally for a lot of people---being selfish and not caring enough about strangers personal choices--should BE what we strive for but it is making it harder for me to NOT roll my eyes at you guys whenever a bunch of freaks come on the news and say they represent you.
I mean, did you see the 2SLGBTQI+ Press Conference? They got the whole circus (I mean, look at the picture of the people they gathered for it) to dress like complete idiots. The lady on the microphone messed up the acronym like twice--and they have the audacity to propose that messing up pronouns is equal to a hate crime. It's just gross.
Look, I know that little group of...god knows what they are...do NOT represent 99% of actual LGBTQ people but my point is the public gets really tired of pride stuff. Sexuality is not that interesting enough to fly a flag about.
@@linus4693 if you want to accept peoples ways go ahead, but I and some others will stick on our path to trying to meet god in heaven.( not saying that you won’t go to heaven)
Rangers management is in touch with their fanbase. Few if any fans are pressed for one. We want baseball, hotdogs and beer. Nothing more
I’m not saying they did everything right but taking a stand not to promote that garbage on their field clearly earned them God’s blessing because they just won the World Series!
You’re right about how MLB and the teams are acting like pride night is a trend. It shouldn’t be. They should be doing to actually show support rather than cover their asses
World Series, God Smiles on Rangers #StraightUpTexas has a new meaning

@@SenorTortasw joke ngl
Let this be a lesson to the other 29 teams in the majors who didn’t win it all this year.
Why I’m a ranger fan
For real, I don't even live within 1000 miles of the Rangers, but they have been my favorite team since 2010. Because of the atmosphere
I think a lot of people are missing the point of why it can be good to have a pride night. LGBTIA+ people are still not accepted by many groups of people in the US and major organizations like the MLB having a night celebrating those people and saying that they are accepted is important not just for the baseball world(where there are a lot of non-accepting people) but for our entire country. However I'm not saying that the rangers have to have a pride night, but the people that say it is annoying to see other teams and places have a pride night are a part of the problem and are why pride nights should exist.

Who’s here after the Texas Rangers won the World Series?
I guess we now know where Anthony Bass will be signing lol.
Yeah, he’ll be coming out the bullpen for the Newark bears
Years ago i took a bartending course in NJ. The instructor stressed to never discuss politics or religion with your customers. It's bad for the atmosphere & will decrease your tip money. Go woke go broke.
One of the few things the Rangers do right. No groomer night
I sure hope you call the Catholic church and southern baptists worse things since those groups have had actual cases of child sex abuse
you do know the vast majority of sexual grooming is carried out by heterosexual white men, right?
as a straight catholic white guy myself i can acknowledge that because i’m not ignorant to it
but projecting onto a group of people based on conspiracy theories about grooming while ignoring religious institutions who regularly have proven abuse scandals is a bit backwards, no?
That’s catchy
When I go to baseball games, I'm there to watch the game and have some good food.
good on The Rangers.
The Texas Rangers: 2023 World Series Champions.
Congratulations!
I suddenly love the Rangers now.
The fact that Jacob Degrom has it in his contract that they can't hold a pride month while he's contracted is the reason why the Rangers aren't holding one. It's a contractual obligation, not an official stance. The Rangers decided that getting him for their rotation was more important, which is ironic since he had to get TJ, only threw 30 1/3 innings this season, and will miss the lion's share of NEXT season.
I want to make this clear, I'm not wishing ill on the man, I just find it interesting that the clause ends up in the contract, and he ends up needing TJ IN PRIDE MONTH.
Pride night shouldn’t be involved with sports teams. Football doesn’t have one so why does every one else. It’s just stupid that it’s becoming a whole issue
I’m bi and even I hate pride stuff being shoved down everyone’s throats
I saw this on Twitter I think, but I agree with the comment that it’d be great for teams to opt-in to pride night or other events, instead of opting out. Let players who want to wear pride pins and wristbands wear one, and don’t make those who don’t want to wear one. Same goes for Independence Day, mothers and Father’s Day, and other salute to service. Don’t force players into representing things they either don’t want to or don’t care about. This way, the representation on the field feels more authentic, and fans can actually see players be honest and transparent on where their views are for different events. I feel like this will be better for everyone, because surely there are players on the rangers who would want to represent pride, and players on the dodgers who don’t want to. This is a happy medium and doesn’t force players into doing something they don’t want to
The only reasonable comment I’ve read under this video. I fucking hate seeing people call LGBTQ+ people perverted because I’ve been surrounded by them my entire life. People should be able to make their own individual choice if it makes both sides happier, fr.
@@haydenanderson2121 i agree with you - but at the same time even watching hates comment wouldnt change my life choices - ive been with the same man for last 16 years of my life while my sister is married with another girl and the whole family is happy and healthy and thats all matters - if you stop living or change your life because of what people say/think - you wouldnt never have a life

How is not having a pride night controversial for a organization that has nothing to do with sexuality...it's a baseball team that people pay to watch play baseball...from a disappointed dodgers fan, good for the rangers

Heroes. Now world champions. Nota bene.
Am i wrong in thinking SUPPORT should be genuine and not forced?
Forcing a team to show support is literally just a ploy to sell merchandise for MLB shareholders and increase profits just like every corporation does in june. But that same forcing of someone to participate in something that goes against thier religious beliefs is literally illegal.
EXACTLY. If they’re supporting just cause they felt pressured, what’s the point?
As a lifetime dodger fan I was extremely disappointed and disrespected with what they did. I haven't watched a single game since and have purposely missed 2 games with i had tickets for me and my family.
Now I sit here thinking about become a ranger fan or seriously dropping the sport 😔
All the praise goes to my lord and savior Jesus Christ 🙏 🙌 ❤ God bless you and your family.
They understand their core demographics
I wish the Marlins would do this
this is fantastic. proud to say i’m a rangers fan. lgbtq blah blah blah being forced down everyone’s throat is bullshit
Well done, Rangers!!
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverb: 16:18
Sell crazy somewhere else.
We’re all stocked up.
And yet here we are today. The Texas Rangers are World Champions. Makes the only team not celebrating pride nights so much better bk they stuck to their values and training instead of focusing on sexuality. GO RANGERS!!!
Big props to the Rangers for standing their ground and showing the rest how it can be done instead of shoving it down everyone's throats. All it is for MLB is a money making opportunity. They don't give af. Tbh the majority of the ones who go to pride night only go to that 1 night and forget the rest of the season. The Dodgers front office screwed themselves with that decision to bring that group in. I'm guessing no research was done or anything and now look at them. Lol
Like I said pride night is just a way to bring the lgbtqia ppl to a game and have them spend money on merchandise, beer and food. I don't care for it but im there for the game not what's going on.
I don’t care if teams do or don’t host a pride night. They’re private companies, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be forced either way.
So the Rangers can just be about Baseball ...what a concept. You also gotta appreciate the MLB logo removing the gaybow
I don't want to go to a baseball game to sit next to a guy wearing a dress cancel pride night isn't that one of your sins 👹🔥🔥🔥
