That's why you don't do this, right?
That's why you shouldn't, except in extreme circumstances, something that genuinely ought to be completely unifying and uncontroversial, like, you know, America 250 or July 4th patch or something.
That's why you just shouldn't do this as institutions.
And as Rich says, there is a big difference between hosting a theme night, whether that's Pride night or not, and changing the uniform.
It's the uniform part of this that makes this a bit ugly.
And then Major League Baseball saying that there'll be consequences.
uh for further altering uh the uniform i think that and i say this is somebody who's pretty pro-gay and has always been in favor of gay marriage although i thought the supreme court decision in a burger file was a disaster and is wrong but i'm not somebody who is is hostile uh toward gay people but i think some of the skepticism you're seeing not just toward pride month but toward gay marriage that has popped up in the last five years a reversal of approval
of such things is the product of exactly this sort of conduct.
Because the winning argument was, why do you care?
You do your thing, we'll do our thing.
Let's leave each other alone.
That prevailed, that was quite popular.
And now there's a lot of coercion and you get representatives saying that this is a disgrace and you get people calling for Major League Baseball to kick these people out.
And I think people hate it and I think they should.
Well, I agree with you.
I'm not sure you can put shame on the cut.
The cut is a source of the most crazy and silly stories of the last five years.
You remember that story in the cut about the lady who put $50,000 in a shoebox because she got some scam text message?
That was a great one.
Yeah, but she was like a finance writer.
