Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams has spoken out against the Los Angeles Dodgers for its “deeply troubling” invitation to the radical anti-Catholic drag group.
Creating an environment in which one group feels celebrated and honored at the expense of another is counterproductive and wrong. It is a clear violation of the Dodgers’ Discrimination Policy, which explicitly states that any conduct or attire at the ballpark that is deemed to be indecent of prejudice against any particular group is not tolerated.
Williams added that it is “essential” for the Dodgers to reconsider its invite to the anti-Catholic group “to create an inclusive environment that does not demean or disrespect the religious beliefs of any fan or employee.”“I also encourage my fellow Catholics to reconsider their support of an organization that allows this type of mockery of its fans to occur,” he wrote.
“I know I am not alone in my frustration, hurt, and disappointment about this situation,” he wrote in closing. “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.”
