Rich your work is remarkable I'd like to help out I'll try and reach out and call you. Also your right about Larry he doesn't care about anything but making a buck.
MLB is an international sport now. There are players from all over the world with different nationalities and different cultural beliefs. It would be a challenge to recognize all these beliefs by adjusting game schedules. Instead, teams have special promotions and special theme games to show their inclusivity. Teams do allow their players to take the game off for special days like Yom Kippur. A few years ago, Max Fried decided not to play on Yom Kippur, but the starting pitcher got yanked early, so Fried chose to pitch in order to save the bullpen.
The Detroit Tigers did not play early today either, but they're on the road in Tampa playing a night game. Players who want to celebrate can also do so after the game.
March 29th was Good Friday. The Giants played the Padres in San Diego. Latin players make up a considerable portion of their roster and many teams. So?Do we put the brakes on Catholicism that day and wait for the light to turn green in 24 hrs? Even for you, this is lousy and a pointless argument. Do better!
Interesting post Rich but I suggest you fact-check the number of Jewish people living in San Francisco. The number you cited may be accurate if you take into account the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, but I am quite sure it is overstated for the City itself
San Francisco is so ‘left’ and support of anything even remotely related to Israel is now ‘anti-left’ …so zero chance the giants would do anything that would give the appearance of aligning with the Israeli state or Jewish holidays at this point in history.

Yep, lots of Japanese, Koreans, Dominicans, Cubans, Mexicans, etc., so trying to recognize all the holidays and cultural events would be impossible.

ReplyDeleteHappy Passover, Rich!
ReplyDeleteSo that explains why the Yankees were playing this morning.

ReplyDeleteHow about keep religion out of sports?
ReplyDeleteLove the new back drop! :)
