Controversy Surrounds Dodgers' Pride Night Honoring Drag Group

Despite backlash, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed support for the team's recent Pride Night, stating that the team welcomes everyone. Hours before the event, protestors gathered outside Dodger Stadium in opposition to the satirical LGBTQ+ group receiving the Community Hero Award. The Dodgers engaged in a back-and-forth with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, but ultimately decided to honor them. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said he wants to leave decisions on hosting a Pride Night to each franchise.
