A Pride Night, a Christian Day — stick to baseball, Dodgers

To the editor: I don’t have an oz of prejudice towards an individual’s sexual orientation, family tree, faith or anything about them. (“Dodgers announce ‘Christian Religion and Household Day’ following Delight Night time fallout,” Might 27)

Nevertheless, I don’t pay to go to Dodger video games or different sporting occasions to be entertained by individuals selling their teams. I am going to the video games to be entertained by the sport and escape actuality for a few hours.

I feel nearly all of individuals really feel the identical manner.

To the editor: As soon as once more, Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has proven himself to be a person of integrity, dignity and all-around excessive worth character.

Actual Christians don’t choose others. Quite, they’ve compassion towards them.

I’m a longtime Dodger fan, and Kershaw has given me another excuse why he’s one among my all-time favorites. I hope he stays with the group for his total profession and serves in its entrance workplace for many years to come back.

To the editor: Whereas studying about Kershaw’s concept a few Christian Religion and Household Day, I began fascinated about following that with a Jewish Religion Day which could possibly be adopted by a Muslim Religion Day.

The Dodgers may end their Religion Days by having a Non-Believers Religion Day, which in response to numerous reviews has develop into the quickest rising group of all.

Or, they might merely play baseball, promote sizzling canines and let everybody loosen up and watch a baseball recreation.

To the editor: I need to categorical my disappointment in The Occasions’ tacit help of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. (“The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence do nice work. Some readers say they nonetheless cross a line,” letters, Might 27)

A core figuring out facet of the Sisters is their appropriation of Catholic look, symbols and motifs in a mocking method. I don’t consider any respected group ought to help a gaggle that appropriates the tradition of one other group.

As a society, ought to we settle for this sort of conduct? Ought to we enable one group to outline its identification on the expense of one other? Ought to queer people resort to mocking to bolster their identification? Ought to we tolerate a Catholic group that defines its identification by mocking queer individuals?

When The Occasions publishes articles supporting the Sisters, it endorses one group’s proper to outline itself by unfavorable portrayals of one other group. It’s setting a harmful precedent.

Cultural appropriation shouldn’t be tolerated, particularly when achieved with out the consent of the group being unfairly represented.
