Introduction: The Dodgers recently made a shocking move by honoring the controversial drag queen group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. However, this surprising event took place in a nearly empty stadium, with only a handful of fans in attendance.
The Eerie Stadium: Imagine a Friday night at Dodger Stadium, where Sister Unity and Sister Dominia were set to receive the Community Heroes Award. However, the announcement of this event was met with silence, with only around 50 fans present, some of whom were booing, along with the media. It was a turnout that nobody could have predicted.

Thousands of pro-Catholic protesters showed up to express their disapproval of the Dodgers’ decision to honor the drag queen group. At one point, the protesters even blocked the entrance to the stadium. An unexpected addition to the protest was a Jewish rabbi who stood up for religious unity, stating, “If you are anti-Catholic, you’re anti-religion, you’re anti-God, I have a problem with that.”
A Change of Heart: In a surprising twist, the Dodgers initially rescinded the invitation to the controversial group due to backlash from religious groups. However, they later reversed their decision and re-invited the drag queen squad to their Pride Night, accompanied by an apology. Whether the apology was sincere or simply a face-saving attempt remains uncertain, but it certainly set the stage for more controversy.

It was a peculiar sight, with more people protesting outside the stadium than there were supporting either team inside.
The Fight for Faith: Jack Posobiec, Senior Editor at Human Events, took charge of the crowd and urged them to defend their faith. With passion, he declared, “I will never back down. I will never be silent. I will never go home. You are about to mobilize every Catholic, every Christian, every religious individual in this entire country.”
Closing Remarks: This was not just any ordinary game night for the Dodgers. It was a significant blunder that will be remembered throughout their history. The question that lingers is, when sports intersect with sensitive subjects, who ultimately pays the price? Share your thoughts and let’s begin this important conversation!
