    Lets change the religion being mocked to Muslim. Are we still on board with them representing your brand?

    They never represented my brand, and I've never been shy about saying that ANY religion that teaches the doctrine of hell for non-believers is bigoted. I can't imagine anything more bigoted. Neither can you.

    I agree with you on religion. My question was about the decision not to associate them with their brand.

    I'm not sure what you mean. I still associate with Catholics and do business with them. I don't associate with either brand: Catholic or Muslim.

    I'm sorry that you think that reason is laughable. I don't agree. I think reason is not only pretty cool, but necessary.

    Thats nice. We are discussing a brand, Dodgers, not allowing their event to be a forum for religion bashing by tranny nuns. That would be a bad habit considering many of their fans are Catholic.

    Where is your evidence that they were going to show up dressed as nuns? Just because they did so in the past doesn't mean that is what they were going to do here.

    Well, that is their shtick. Their decision to disinvite them is reasonable.

    You're saying that's the only drag act they have? Dubious, to say the least.

    Given the name they gave themselves, that is a reasonable assumption. I have an event and I am inviting a group called "Scary Clowns with Baseball Bats? I wonder how they will dress. Hmmm...

    What is your evidence they have changed their shtick and plan to do otherwise?

    So you are saying we have no evidence either direction? Cute.

    A brief search reveals what can be expected.

    And? Even if what you are saying is true do they not have freedom of expression and freedom of speech?

    You need a better reason than “team red got its fefes hurt”.

    I would take a charity that gives back to its community and is a verified charitable organization any day over one that pays zero taxes while hoarding assets, is automatically exempt with no reporting and has a massive pedophile issue. Wouldn’t you?

    Actually no you don't. See the team is a private organization, and as such they can decide who does and does not entertain at their events. Freedom of expression and freedom of speech only apply to government in this context.

    Or they could just play baseball and not worry about political religious social or other causes.

    Did they ever stop to think that people that buy a ticket to a baseball event just want to see baseball?

    No one has to care about any other issues when they go to watch baseball then watching baseball

    You do know that the trannies are a 501c3 organization and don't pay taxes. Right?

    No one is suggesting they don't have the right to be tranny-nuns. This is about not inviting them to an event. Is that an issue?

    Why do you think they "get their rocks off" dressing as women?

    You didn’t answer the question.

    As to “defending” bigotry — that is your opinion only that these individuals were bigots. Bigotry is prejudicial treatment — you know, like demanding a group not be allowed to attend. But that was done by the religious orgs — so if anyone is defending bigotry…

    What did you not comprehend about them being a verified charitable organization? They have to apply and file yearly reports vs religious orgs that don’t have to prove anything.

    Let me know what part is causing the issue and we can break it down together.
