in the US, about 95% of men identify as straight. so 5% are not straight. there are ~2,400 active players in the big 4. basic math says there should be ~120 non-straight players then. and yet there are 0 OPENLY gay/bi players. maybe pride is a little more necessary than you think
National Park Service employees and contractors to trying hard to clean the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. So far the algae seems to be winning. As for the American flag blue paint, it’s starting to peel from the bottom of the pool — a short-lived $14 million paint job.
Ok I find most of the open relationship discourse to be annoying but if you’re out here going on full dates without disclosing you have an entire FIANCE, you have got to go to hell.
Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
Andrew has had his account for 18 years and tweeted about baseball 12 times. 9 of them were crying about pride night. I am sure baseball is okay with you leaving.
People have a right to whatever religious beliefs they want — even if those beliefs dehumanize other people — but they don’t have a right to hijack their employer to promote those hateful beliefs at a job-related event.
MLB didn’t penalize them for their faith. It penalized them for violating the rules of their employment.
The problem here is that you fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of Pride Night. It's not about promoting a belief system. It's about showing LGBTQ+ fans that they belong at the ballpark. If you're opposed to Pride Night, that's the message you're opposing.
You know…. If those baseball players ALWAYS put Bible verses on their hats, nobody would blink an eye. Them only doing it during Pride Night is performative as fuck. Lmao. Do it for all 162 games if you REALLY believe in your religion.
$14 Million later… Algae blooms are thriving the warmer blue Reflecting Pool.
Rookie mistake: letting untreated algae reproduce in dormant filtration pipes during the resurfacing and pumping it back into the pool unfiltered once done.
I’d get a refund.
