Why is Rockefeller Center using such an outdated Pride Flag?  |

Not sure I expected to see Barstool Pride merch but people who take issue with it and make everything about “child sex changes” are an embarrassment to conservatism

The Michael Sam of professional baseball.
Clearly his being gay is the only reason he is still playing Rookie League ball 7 years after turning pro.

I was wondering how that was possible. When I covered the Appalachian League way back when, which was rookie ball at the time, you could only play at that level for two seasons with the exception of a rehab stint. But I see he's converting from position player to pitcher and playing in the team facility circuit. I guess with the minor league re-org from year or two ago, what I think of as rookie league doesn't really exist as much .

Was that an actual rule? I just assumed most guys didn't stay in Single-A longer than that because that was the washout point where teams figured if the player wasn't good enough to move up by then, then they never would be.

Trans kids are, on average, more likely to suffer from depression and other mental disorders. They are more likely to be autistic. USA, with the legwork being done by an advocacy group, highlights three teens who self profess to being happy. And, we’re told that this is the reality for most, and that “narrative” is wrong. This isn’t journalism. The author of the piece doesn’t seem to have asked them any actual questions. It’s just advocacy for something that is deeply troubling. Funny how you keep implying that being transgender is a mental illness, but you lack the guts to own that opinion. |

Who cares? The majority gets to tell certain minorities how to live their lives? Yeah, I'm not surprised that you would advocate such a position. |

Can’t argue with this.

It was for the Appy League, which was short-season and a step below Single-A. A lot of guys who got drafted reported straight there in June. Sometimes they'd be back for a second season, but if you weren't good enough for Single-A by then you probably weren't going to make it. The exception might be if a guy was young and switching positions. |

Which one was the best? The new Glamour cover is like a combination of two famous Demi Moore covers.    |

I didnt say that, and I would surmise most Americans would not support the measure you cite here So what's the appropriate response to bills like this? |

The story doesn't make that claim or quote Comas saying anything to that effect. That's the joke? I mean, I'm sure he's a very nice person, and I hope he's happy as a clam. But who gives a shit about a seven year pro, who is playing rookie ball, whether they are gay or straight? |
