Dodgers’ pitcher, Blake Treinen, joined Clayton Kershaw in denouncing the decision by the Los Angeles Dodgers organization to re-invite and honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for Pride Night on June 16th.
The Dodgers had initially removed the group of what are known as “tans nuns” from the list of honorees for June 16th. However, the organization decided to re-invite them after “much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities.”
