MLB slammed over ‘hypocrisy’ targeting Christian players
Kayleigh McEnany blasts Major League Baseball for alleged hypocrisy, singling out Christian players while allowing other expressions. She cites the San Francisco Giants’ players being warned for Bible verses on hats, contrasted with drag queens on the Dodgers’ field and “BLM” logos on pitcher’s mounds. Former MLB catcher Raffy Lopez joins to discuss his support for players expressing faith.
The Los Angeles Dodgers made headlines in 2025 for a number of reasons. Their front office once again built a dominant roster full of star players. They won back-to-back World Series, becoming the first team since the New York Yankees more than two decades ago to do so.
But the Dodgers organization seems to always find itself in the middle of other off-field controversies, and last season was no exception. When federal immigration officials surged enforcement into Los Angeles, which has long been a hotbed of illegal immigration, the Dodgers inexplicably got themselves involved.
Some Customs and Border Patrol agents parked their cars briefly in the Dodger Stadium parking lot as they prepared to move to a different location. The Dodgers, then, issued a completely false statement saying they’d denied ICE agents access to the parking lot. Except ICE agents, the agency confirmed, never went to Dodger Stadium.

They left the post up regardless, apparently out of a desire to receive praise from the political left and local far-left sportswriters. It worked, as they received widespread support despite being factually wrong. At the time, OutKick reached out to the team’s Vice President of Communications, Jon Weisman (he/him), to find out why they had not issued a correction. He never answered.
But as part of their virtue signaling efforts, the team announced that as a result of quite literally nothing happening, they would make a donation to pro-immigration groups to satisfy those who oppose enforcing the United States border. And a new report from the Los Angeles Times has confirmed that they followed through on their ridiculous promise to make “direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region.”
Per the Times, “…The Dodgers donated $1.1 million, representatives for California Community Foundation and Labor Community Services” told them.

What does this have to do with a Major League Baseball team? Nothing, of course. Why should a Major League Baseball team have any interest or impact in federal immigration law enforcement? It shouldn’t; it has nothing to do with them or their sport. Regardless of how many illegal aliens live in Los Angeles and support the Dodgers. There are many Catholics who support the Dodgers, and they still felt it wise to give an award to a group of men who dress in drag like nuns and mock their faith.
So what do these organizations do? Well, per their website, the California Community Foundation in 2025 “established a new fund” to support LA County NGO’s because immigration raids to arrest violent criminals here illegally was a “humanitarian crisis.”
They also frequently issue statements of support for illegal aliens, though, of course, using the preferred progressive dogma language of “undocumented immigrations.” Similarly, the Labor Community Services organization is designed to support immigrant groups with a “pathway to citizenship,” per their website.

There’s little doubt that the Dodgers organization excels at providing a positive experience for their players. They excel at finding and developing talent. And they’ve done an outstanding job upgrading Dodger Stadium, retaining the character of the building and modernizing it, despite its age. But the ownership group is overwhelmed by left-wing politics. Ironic, since primary owner Mark Walter is the exact type of person the progressive left hates, thanks to his estimated net worth of around $15.5 billion.

It’s embarrassing that such a historic organization has sunk so low. But that’s what happens when you only care about one side of the political spectrum.
