Controversy Surrounds Dodgers' Pride Night Honoring Drag 'Nuns'

The Los Angeles Dodgers recorded an above-average attendance of 49,074 for its Pride Night, despite a video circulating on social media inaccurately suggesting a "mostly empty" turnout. The event honoring the controversial Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence drew protests from more than 2,000 people, including former Los Angeles County sheriff Alex Villanueva, who turned down tickets to "stand on principle." The Dodgers initially rescinded its invitation to the Sisters, citing "strong feelings of people who have been offended," but later reinvited them and pledged to "better educate ourselves."
