The Los Angeles Dodgers sparked outrage with their decision to re-invite the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” a group of queer and trans “nuns” that uses mockery of Catholic iconography to raise funds for LGBTQ charities. Now, several MLB players are speaking out, including some on the Dodgers roster. Star pitcher Clayton Kershaw said he urged his ball club to bring back the organization’s Christian Faith and Family Day, adding that he doesn’t agree with “making fun of a religion.” Pitcher Blake Treinen released a statement saying the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence “promotes hate of Christians and people of faith.” Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams also weighed in, asserting that he is “deeply troubled” by the Dodgers’ decision to honor the queer group.

Anyone familiar with the sport of baseball knows that MLB players are a heavily Christian group, so it wouldn’t surprise Cockburn to see more players come out against the Dodgers in the next couple of weeks before “Pride Night.” And unlike many other MLB teams, people actually used to go and watch the Dodgers.
