From the far-right “satire” site Babylon Bee:
The Lord has granted a World Series championship to the Texas Rangers, the one and only Major League Baseball team to not host a Pride Night. After over fifty years of championship futility, the Texas Rangers finally captured the World Series title in the same year the team became the final Major League holdout on hosting Pride Night. Despite mounting pressure as the remaining 29 MLB teams honored satanic drag queens, the Texas Rangers held firm.
The Heritage Foundation joins in:
The Texas Rangers, who won their first World Series in 63 seasons Wednesday night, is also the only team in Major League Baseball not to hold a “Pride Night”-style event celebrating LGBTQ individuals. The Rangers bested the Arizona Diamondbacks in four out of five games to take the series. A total of 29 out of 30 MLB teams have hosted a Pride Night, but the Rangers’ refusal to give in to the pressure is a “courageous stand against the tsunami of corporate wokeness,” The Washington Stand’s Joshua Arnold wrote last year.
This is not satire. Congratulations, @Rangers. https://t.co/mHzAnVvarG

Literally the only team in baseball that doesn’t have a pride night just won the World Series in the season where the Dodgers had a pride night honoring drag queens that mock Jesus. That’s some poetic justice. Congrats to the Texas Rangers! 👏🏼 pic.twitter.com/r47XaveuYm
