FALSE! The National League didn't play Sunday games until 1892.

I'm sure that if you look at schedules, you'll find that there have been Sundays off in many seasons.

122 years ago. Let me guess, if your favorite baseball team cancelled the game because of the gay parade, you would think its a good idea?

so now you're going to attack over "canceled" vs. "rescheduled"?

it's like those who attack over Ann Coulter being "banned" or "uninvited".

Either way LGBT terrorist tactics are the reason for this.

It's the terrorism. Fear of organized boycott. Fear of negative publicity. But it could backfire.

I just got back from Whole Foods. I had never gone until a bunch of Leftist anti-AMericans boycotted the place. So I joined to buycott to say fuck you to them.

When I travel I-95, I usually make a point to support Chick-fil-A because of the attacks against them.

We must stick together against the radicals of Leftism in this country because they're going to turn us into a communist dictatorship.

"The CEO of Sam Adams obviously thought this was the best way to sell beer."

You don't have to be a marketing specialist to know that if fewer outlets sell your product, you are going to lose money. Thats just common sense. There is no upside for beer companies to get involved or take sides in social issues such as this.

Both sides get thursty. Market your product to consummer needs rather than consummer idology.

Stay away from the internet for two weeks and you'll drop some pounds.

You'll know it's fat if your jeans are too tight.

I was 215 but now I'm 216 sometimes 217 in the morning. I have not lifted weights in three weeks but did sprints last two weeks.

Sprints are supposed to burn fat but I don't know. They are hard on the body and have high rate of injuries to the hams, shins, lower back, and feet.

I'll do them one more week and see how I feel. Hate hitting a plateau.

Right, as if the right don't throw their weight around and impose heavily upon others.

That aside, about the damn parade, the only reason this is an issue is because a select few participants decided to make it an issue.

So I ask, as you quote, "The Irish should be able to celebrate St. Patrick's Day without reference to sexual preference", how in hell would that be possible when it was made an issue to begin with?

fiogf49gjkf0d
Hi there again, and I'll welcome you to OTchat where the fur flies off the squirrels every day ... here's MY take on it FWIW.

The Parade in question is sponsored (or at least has been all along) by the "Ancient Order of Hibernians" which goes back a LONG time, and has always been arch-conservative Irish usually membered by oldhead NYPD, Fire, that kind of folks. The organizers are geezers even older than I am. Heh.

I've marched in that Parade back in the 60's and 70's and ended up with the Northern Irish folks since I was dating a gurl from NAIF (look it up, they were considered terrorists back in the day. Got my pix taken by all the feds and answered questions about my participation in it for many years afterwards.

My take on it all is that the Parade is one of those things where groups of "like-minded tards" gathered to show off their ethnic pride in a similar manner to most of the other parades in the city for other groups, including the "Gay Pride" folks, Carribeans and other groups who felt the need to march with banners to show their own interests.

As to the St Patty's day thing, they pretty much run their own show like everybody else and are entitled to set their own rules for how their "road show" goes. And everyone else has the freedom (I hope) to ignore them and do their own thing and just not participate. Their parade kinda lost its luster when the city cracked down on drinking along the parade route (I'm Irish, having a beer and yelling "fuck yeah" was a cultural entitlement although I found the whole thing silly.

There are other St Patty's parades in the city which is not under the lead of such backwards minds (fortunately) and I see the proper solution to go hang onto one of the alternatives. They have the right to their own thing as surely as anyone else has the right to theirs and I worry that if they're imposed upon to accept "free association" that they don't agree with, that it will clear the ground for other parades to have what the other groups might consider "interlopers" taking away from whatever their parade is about.

If they shun LGBT, then LGBT should join one of the other parades just like the Mayor did in avoiding the Hibernian parade and going elsewhere. As more people shun the exclusive parades, other more inclusive parades will attract a bigger audience.

But to my mind, the Hibernian parade is the last gasps of old school and just let them be as they dwindle. Just a thought. :)

I think there should be an LGBT parade.

Nothing against it.

Many thanks for your well detailed insight. I'm all for individual groups maintaining a sense of community and pride, and as such I don't necessarily object to long standing tradition, Nevertheless some acts that in the past were considered inline with tradition can tread a fine line of what is culturally accepted in the present day.

While alternative ideals should not be imposed onto these independent organizations I still do believe that there should be a fair amount of encouragement for a general tolerance. Arguably too much to ask from many, but what else can be done?
