sport news Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw & Blake Treinen blast team for re-inviting Sisters of ... trends now
LA Dodgers pair Clayton Kershaw and Blake Treinen have spoken out against the franchise's decision to welcome anti-Christian LGBTQ drag group, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, to its Pride Night and subsequently present them with a Community Hero award.
The Dodgers initially rescinded their invitation following condemnation from Christians, politicians -- including Florida's Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio -- and others.
Since, L.A. has cowered to public pressure from the opposing viewpoint, offering an apology and another invitation the LGBTQ drag group who have performed vulgar acts which directly mock and denigrate the Catholic faith. These include giving lap dances to a man dressed as Jesus and tied to a crucifix -- arguably the most sacred symbol of the religion -- and dressing up as nuns.
'I am disappointed to see the Sister's [sic] of Perpetual Indulgence being honored as heroes at Dodger Stadium,' Treinen said in a statement Wednesday. 'Many of their performances are blasphemous, and their work only displays hate and mockery of Catholics and the Christian faith.
'I understand that playing baseball is a privilege, and not a right. My convictions in Jesus Christ will always come first. Since I have been with the Dodger's [sic] they have been at the forefront of supporting a wide variety of groups.

'However, inviting the Sister's [sic] of Perpetual indulgence to perform disenfranchises a large community and promotes hate of Christians and people of faith. This single event alienates the fans and supporters of the Dodgers, Major League Baseball, and professional sports.
'People like baseball for its entertainment value and competition. The fans do not want propaganda or politics forced on them. The debacle with Bud Light and Target should be a warning to companies and professional sports to stay true to their brand and leave the propaganda and politics off the field…
'I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins. I believe the word of God is true, and in Galatians 6:7 it says, "do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked; a man reaps what he sows." This group openly mocks Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of my faith, and I want to make it clear that I do not agree with nor support the decision of the Dodger's [sic] to 'honor' the Sister's [sic] of Perpetual Indulgence.
'''But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15.'
Kershaw told The Los Angeles Times Monday the Dodgers' decision to honor the group after it rescinded its original invitation prompted him to approach the organization about expediting an announcement regarding its Christian Faith and Family Day later this season.
