“I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you
1/2
"Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come"
A reminder than just because someone is an exceptional athlete (or actor or musician or whatever) who has brought you years of joy, doesn’t mean they aren’t also a turd person.
The Dodger organization has repeatedly shown ppl n their fan base where they stand on many social issues…ppl being upset that they aren’t ‘saying anything’ are missing the point! Their silence is their statement; act accordingly!
I don't think it's internalized homophobia; I expect it's sour grapes. My guess is... he went to a gay bar, couldn't meet anyone, so decided to join the other side since the queers wouldn't have him.
Hmm, wait wait, could it be support like trying to bridge the gap between religion and LGBT saying the rainbow can be both things and trying to reach across the aisle? Maybe I have too much hope in the world...
What a dick. Recruiters should check out social media posts for bigots, haters, before they sign a white christian nationalist extremist. EVEN THE FUCKING POPE blesses unions and gay marriage. Forget looking good....he should stick the fantasy novel and hateful scriptures up his ass.
The evangelicals think the Catholics are demonic, so they do not care what the Pope thinks. All 4k+ sects who claim to be christians ALL think the other 3,999+ sects are demonic "heathens" preaching false prophecy, yada yada...
So, I’m a huge Giants fan and there is quite a rivalry between the Giants and the Dodgers. Crenshaw (like the melon) is on his way out. Old and useless on the mound. This stunt just adds to my loathing him that much more.
I wonder why no one in Dodger management told him to get a new hat. Maybe for the same reason they’ve refused to support the Hispanic community and condenm the senseless ICE raids.
Bible thumper’s just piss me off!Yeah right“God”spoke to Noah after he wiped out the known world(Middle East)because he was like having a bad day?What bullshit!Then promised not to again?How fucking delusional?He put all known species on his Ark so as to repopulate the earth he was about to destroy🤣
Yep. "Let him" happened. He wasn't arrested, harmed, physically assaulted, jailed ... he was allowed to wear a hat defaced with Christian propaganda meant to troll the iconograpy representing the people whose equality the hat represents. Doesn't mean we have to be silent about it.
Yes, and publicly shaming and "dragging" and "slamming" people for what they do is sooooooo effective. These fucktards neeeeed that for fuel. They expect it. They rely on people reacting. Gets them loads of attention. When no one gives a fuck about their christian BS, THAT will be news.
100 percent, it's what they do. For people who claim to obey an all-powerful deity, they sure as hell don't take him at his word ... instead twisting its meaning until it suits their hateful aims.
It was complete idiocy. The verse was on the use of the rainbow after the flood. Like, dude thinks that things can only ever have a single metaphorical meaning?!?
Clayton Kershaw has been my favorite pitcher since he came into the league 18 years ago, but part of the problem with professional athletes in general is that they are usually reich-wing conservatives. MLB is filled with reich-wing nut jobs that love their magical sky daddy.
I mean, if you’re supporting him putting that specific verse up given what the Christian-in-name-only crew has been using that specific verse for recently? Yes.
MLB apparently allowed this without any disciplinary action. I hope somebody writes “F ice” on their hat, but that probably wouldn’t be allowed, would it? Religious discrimination is fine but speaking out against fascism, racial profiling and racial discrimination is not.
America needs to look at itself in the mirror and realise it has a serious mental problem. It’s all very well saying there was a “back lash” but what you’re not mentioning is all the support he would have got too.
I will say tho Jim and Tammy Faye, and some of those other TV preachers provided some degree of comedy 😂😂😂 especially since they’re all such colossal fukups and usually go down in flames
You can't catch it... So writing a Bible verse won't help as if it's a plague. Also, if it's a plague (which it isn't), writing a make believe quote won't save you.
Fucking asshole team they are the worst of the worst how fucking dare you put that Nazi shit on your dumbass hat hope you lose every game you pitch loser lowlife asshole
I think we need to do this to all professional sports teams, tell me this wouldn’t send a message! And believe me I love going to games, but you don’t want to speak up and fight with us, then why should I spend a load of money to see you play…
Huge Dodger fan. Kersh has always done this shit every June since Dodgers were first to host a MLB Pride Night Disgraceful. The flip side is his foundation has helped countless families in Africa & the Dominican Republic. Not defending his crap. I’m trying to find light when it’s dark.
The Dodgers have been on fail our fans campaign the last two weeks between Kershaw anti-LGBTQ+ message and their silence on ICE and protests despite Latinos being 40% of fan base. Ashamed of my team
But his Jesus preferred the company of men. His Jesus was not married as required of Rabbis. His Jesus showed undo affection to the youngest boy apostle-its in the Bible. His Jesus never said one disparaging word against homosexuals.
As consolation, God let him know what she thought about his attitude by making sure he could never win the big game in any playoff or WS game. So there's that ...
Singing the official Spanish version of the National Anthem in opening ceremony....We crucify Nezza. Dodger's better figure out, how to censure their FUCKING OWN BALLPLAYERS!!!
My sister believes that if she does public and performative religious crap, she’s banked enough “brownie points with the big guy” to change other people’s fates.
When I point out that this conflicts with her view that God has an absolutely perfect plan, she suddenly has to get off the phone
Interesting that these people considering themselves as Christian quote only the verses of the Bible that could harm the others, never those like John 13:34-35 « A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another ». No restriction, no condition.
These people have no idea that there even is a New Testament. They think "Jesus Christ" is some sort of shibboleth that identifies them as a member of the group of people the orange shitgibbon is supposed to favour for no good reason other than that they ostensibly keep him in power.
He wasn't preaching at anyone, or shoving his religion down anybody's throat. My gosh, it was just a Bible verse. At least he was wearing the hat!
I am a Christ follower, with a bisexual daughter & a transgender son-in-law.
Happy Pride Month! 🌈
(Maybe EVERYONE should stop being judgemental?) 🤷♀️
Just a Bible verse that Christians use to troll LGBTQ+ equality iconography by saying "those people" have no right to steal the rainbow from God.
Defacing the hat in order to prove he doesn't agree with its message eliminates any "credit" he might get for putting it on his nasty, homophobic head.
You're entitled to your opinion. We're not all the same. If your read my entire previous comment, then you'd also see that I have no problem with anything LGBTQ. Thing is, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.. should be for EVERYONE as long as he's not actually HURTING anyone.
100 percent agree he has a 1st Amendment, constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech. But that right does not mean that I have to agree with him or that I can't speak out in disapproval and disappointment with his hateful rhetoric. Just because it's cloaked in a bible verse doesn't excuse it.
Me & my family have learned to pick our battles. If other people have a difference of opinion, let them. We decided a long time ago that if we don't want others judging us, why would we feel the need to judge them. We would much rather ignore hateful rhetoric, or share a smile & just walk away.
Even my daughter and I don't agree on everything, & we try to focus on the positives. But we both agree that as long as somebody isn't deliberately HURTING someone else physically, or emotionally with malice, then let them be.
The funny thing is that if the persist with their pig-ignorant and highly dangerous policies on climate change and emissions then God will in fact flood the land again after all.
Although it's true that if you read Revelation you might conclude that fire, demons and poison are the problem.
I just think is so sad that he feels a need to post his hatred and racists views on his hat. What should happen is every gay fan should boycott every game this idiot plays in. He has a right to be hateful as much as we don’t have to tolerate it. No LGBTQ+ or free American should support him.
The man is entitled to his opinion. And we are entitled to ours. A fallen idol who is a closed-minded bigot. Clayton, may your vaunted curveball forever flatten out and be so wide of the strike zone that even the deference your reputation engenders in umpires doesn’t give you the call.
Nope. I hope all of the Dodger fans realize that he stands with one, he stands for all, ergo, he would applaud ICE coming to Dodger stadium to "round-up" all the "migrants". Do not give these scatimonious cowards any room to weasle out of their convictions. There should be jersey burnings.
I get that, but what he doesn’t get is that Gods love & promise is for everyone… Jesus died for everyone. As a Christian I see the discrimination, judgements etc… which is missing the truth….Gods love is for everyone, Jesus never judged, He died for everyone….
Correct. And the other passages wingers quote are out of context. I particularly like the Lot scenario where his guests are propositioned by gays and Lot says, if you’re not into that I have 2 daughters you can sleep with.
The sins of Sodom were arrogance, pride, inhospitality, and cruelty. Period. These choads also like to quote Leviticus, but ONLY one piece. They ignore ALL the rest. Pork, shellfish, fish with no scales, charging interest, buying and selling of land, mixed fabrics, etc etc etc ETC they IGNORE.
Haven't read the article yet, but I want to hazard a guess in advance that the verse wasn't something like, "love your neighbour as yourself" or "that which you do to the least of my people, you do unto me"
Read it and I was mostly right, but I also agree with the person who was like, "That verse is actually about radical inclusivity so if you were trying to be hateful, it backfired" 🤗🌈
We silly humans and our good intentions poorly implemented... 🤦🏾♂️ Look #3WhysDeep - the guy is reaching out... clumsily, though. Being outraged at *LITERALLY* surface level stuff shows how much some people are "snowflakes". Warmest wishes to resolving trauma / PTS(D) which still haunts you... 💗🙏🏽💗
who cares? If I played for a team that made me wear a crucifix during crucifix month (oh, it's coming with this administration) you better believe i would put glitter on it. we've got to stop this shit about other people's values🤍✌🏽

Keeping a list.
Fuck the Dodgers.
He’s pretty much Curt Schilling 2.0.
I cant imagine the energy it takes to carry around all that hate and then use Christianity as a vehicle to justify it.
They're all whacko
Genesis 19:32-36 recounts their actions: "Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”
That sneaky fucker lies all the time! You could follow TACO as well!
(Or abandon religion of any kind and evolve.)
They're so perverse.
Well then there is the thing he did with his sister.
It is 24/7/365 with these fucking people and their UNREAD scripture.
Give kissing your god’s ass a rest for a second… please!
Vampires aren’t this obsessed with blood.
And why are you supposedly favored by god?
And do you praise god when you lose, conceding that the other person or team is favored over you?
Yep
Then put them all on a rocket pointed at the sun and tell them there's nothing they hate there, go "live" there.
At least they'll do some good as fuel for the sun.
Knock, knock. Who's there? Everyone, and karma.
That's like DJT keeping his immigrant employees at Mar-A-Lago but everyone else getting deported.
Must be exhausting to feel like that all the time ...
Does anybody know how much God wants us to love each other?
Meanwhile over on LinkedIn we have the *servants*.
I particularly like the ones who say that they are servant leaders!
But your point is valid
Bullies.
Does the bother anyone? The party of freedom and liberty seem to be very concerned with what others are doing.
Because he may want to read Exodus 35:2.
Heathen. Let thy brother love thee, and so shall thee in return. Seriously, bend over thou homophobic motherf*cker. 🌈 #Pride
But his Jesus preferred the company of men. His Jesus was not married as required of Rabbis. His Jesus showed undo affection to the youngest boy apostle-its in the Bible. His Jesus never said one disparaging word against homosexuals.
Was his Jesus gay?
attend accordingly.

Quantity over quality
I'm fucking dying. I just started a 5 week deployment away from home, and really needed that. Thanks, friend 💜
