The @SFGiants have a long history of supporting our large & vibrant LGBTQ community, even when it hasn’t always been popular. It’s one of the many reasons I’m proud of the team.
That storied history makes it even more troubling that the Giants are now accepting ads from Chick-fil-A — a virulently homophobic business — & disturbing that some players used last night’s Giants Pride Night as an opportunity to display a bible verse about rainbows that is frequently used by right wing Christians to “take back” the rainbow from LGBTQ people.
Last night wasn’t just Pride Night. It was also the 10th anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub massacre, when 49 people were mass murdered.
To be clear, these players could have cited the rainbow bible verse on any of the other 364 days of the year. Instead, they chose to cite it only on Pride Night & only in connection with the rainbow Giants logo celebrating our LGBTQ community. There’s only one explanation for that choice — a choice the Giants tolerated.
It’s hard to envision the Giants tolerating this kind of behavior directed at any other community. The Giants can & must do better.
National champs! 🏆 @NCStateEsports recently competed at the NECC, defeating University of California, Santa Barbara to become Overwatch P1 national champions. This was NC State's first semester supporting a competitive esports team within the program. https://t.co/9C2dhfN3m8
Plenty of cal friends. Will start calling it cal Berkeley to troll them. Also it is sketchy. Noticed that when I watched NC State come back 14 points in the 4th quarter (against Mendoza).
Two things.
1) There is no "Cal Berkeley." The institution has several correct names. UC Berkeley. University of California. Cal. If you call it "Cal Berkeley" then we know you don't know much about it.
2) If Cal's campus seems "dangerous" to you, then you're a massive coward.
Worst cities in the country to infield:

10. Salt Lake City
Becerra is not the answer. Porter and Steyer will tax the state into oblivion. If you're a Democrat, the only real choice you have is @MattMahanSJ. I'm not kidding.
When he entered the crowded governor’s race in January, Matt Mahan was a long shot. But an uninspiring field of candidates and a scandal has made the election unpredictable https://t.co/AF92AyiOpx

An ABC license to serve beer in a San Francisco “entertainment zone” costs $20k but is almost never issued. You generally have to buy them secondary for ~$300k. You are taxed on every sale.
Of course, none of these apply if you sell fentanyl or meth in the same public spaces.
@Caltrain some guy is heckling passengers trying to get them to sign a petition, constantly lying and using bullying tactics. “Everyone else on the train signed”.
Failing to admit a “temporary” (14 year) increase in sales tax unless specifically asked.
ARREST THIS MAN
