Dodgers player issues strong statement: ‘God cannot be mocked.’
Dodgers Pitchers Take a Stand Against Anti-Christian Bigotry
The Los Angeles Dodgers franchise has found itself embroiled in controversy after inviting the hate group, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, to their “pride night” festivities. However, two of the team’s star pitchers, Clayton Kershaw and Blake Treinen, have taken a public stand against the decision, with Treinen’s statement causing a stir on social media.
“This single event alienates the fans and supporters of the Dodgers, Major League Baseball, and professional sports,” the statement said.

Treinen’s statement, which was shared on Twitter by Christian singer Sean Feucht, accused the Dodgers of promoting “hate of Christians and people of faith.” He went on to say that the decision to invite the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was alienating fans and supporters of the team and professional sports.
Conservatives on social media were quick to praise Treinen’s statement, with commentator Robby Starbuck calling him a man who puts “God and country first before baseball.” Daily Wire reporter Meg Basham also lauded the statement, saying it showed “tremendous courage.”
However, the issue at hand is not just about public relations. Treinen’s statement highlights the fact that the Dodgers’ decision attacks the bedrock of his religious faith, which is shared by millions of Americans. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is known for its malicious behavior towards Christians, particularly Catholics, and its deliberate provocation of the Christian community.
It remains to be seen how the Dodgers will respond to the growing opposition to their decision, but it is clear that Kershaw and Treinen have taken a stand for their beliefs and for the millions of Americans who share them.
MLB Players Speak Out Against Dodgers’ Decision to Host Blasphemous Comedy Group
Two major league baseball players have spoken out against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ decision to host a blasphemous comedy group at their stadium. Oakland Athletics pitcher Blake Treinen stated, “I just don’t think that, no matter what religion you are, you should make fun of somebody else’s religion. So that’s something that I definitely don’t agree with.”
The fact that the Dodgers originally invited the group, then disinvited it before inviting it again should be a clue that the team itself doesn’t have a clue about where its own moral compass points.
Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams also spoke out against the Dodgers’ decision, calling on the team to reconsider. As a Catholic, Williams urged fans to take action and look to Jesus Christ.

“I know I’m not alone in my frustration, hurt and disappointment about this situation,” he wrote. “As Catholics, we look to Jesus Christ and the way He was treated and we realize that any suffering in this world unites us to Him in the next.”
What might be most interesting about this is the relative silence that’s greeted the issue among the usual loudmouths in the establishment media and politics.
Has anyone heard from the “devout Catholic” President Joe Biden on this subject?
But there are voices being raised within MLB itself, and Catholic advocacy groups are organizing their own responses.
If the tide keeps turning like this, June 16 could be quite the showdown in LA.
Pro-Christian groups could turn out. Militant “gay rights” groups — even more debased than the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — could make an appearance. Heck, it’s not impossible that a Christian player or two might decline to take the field — or come down with a convenient reason to be unable to.
Or the Dodgers could make a different decision. The team has done it before.
The Tide is Turning: 2nd Dodgers Player Speaks Out with Most Blistering Statement Yet
It seems that the LA Dodgers have stirred up a hornet’s nest with their decision to host an event featuring an anti-Christian hate group. The first player to speak out against the event was Clayton Kershaw, and now another Dodgers player has joined him.
As reported by The Western Journal, the player, who has chosen to remain anonymous, wrote a scathing statement about the event and the Dodgers’ decision to host it.
The statement reads, “God cannot be mocked. As a Christian, I find it deeply offensive that the Dodgers would host an event featuring an anti-Christian hate group. This is not what we stand for as a team, and it’s not what I stand for as a Christian.”
It’s clear that this issue has struck a nerve with many people, and the response has been swift and passionate.
While the establishment media and politicians have been relatively silent on the issue, voices are being raised within MLB itself, and Catholic advocacy groups are organizing their own responses.
It remains to be seen what will happen on June 16, when the event is scheduled to take place. Will pro-Christian groups turn out? Will militant “gay rights” groups make an appearance? Will Christian players decline to take the field?
One thing is for sure: the tide is turning, and the Dodgers may have to make a different decision.
