Mike Krukow was a 20 game winner for the @sfgiants and has been a longtime color analyst for the team with his former teammate Duane Kuiper. He has thoughts about the four Giants pitchers who hijacked Pride night last week. “I would just hope they would understand the demographic of San Francisco and respect people for who they are. What you do to your uniform, that has weight to it. You can offend people. And why would you do that?” Mike's son Wes is a dancer, is gay, and is married to his partner, Ted. "“I’m so proud of him,” Krukow said. “I’ve seen gay life through my son’s eyes. The culture and the community is so beautiful.”" I hope Landon Roupp, Ryan Walker, JT Brubaker, and Sam Hentges hold a conversation with Mike Krukow. Their choice has irritated and potentially alienated lot of the Giants fan base needlessly. Regarding the verse, State Senator and Congressional Candidate for CA11 @Scott_Wiener had this to say: "“To be clear, these players could have cited the rainbow bible verse on any of the other 364 days of the year. Instead, they chose to cite it only on Pride Night & only in connection with the rainbow Giants logo celebrating our LGBTQ community. There’s only one explanation for that choice — a choice the Giants tolerated,” Wiener wrote on social media. “It’s hard to envision the Giants tolerating this kind of behavior directed at any other community. The Giants can & must do better.”" While the words of the Genesis verse sound inclusive, the Biblical and social contexts are not. God "gave" the rainbow in "mercy" after an apocalyptic flood wiped out most life on earth presumably to cleanse the earth of "sin" which reads like a threat to those these pitchers "morally" disagree with. The "Reclaim the Rainbow" movement is curious- why does a natural phenomenon witnessed by all faiths and used metaphorically by the LGBTQ+ community need to be "reclaimed" as though it belongs only to Christians? And the "Reclaim the Rainbow" song makes it clear in homophobic lyrics what the "movement" is about- like these: "What do you mean? They turned the rainbow to sin But they don't know what it means It is a promise, it isn't pride God said He would no longer flood the Earth (flood the Earth) Now it's for abominations When they put their flags outside those churches..." The @sfgiants need to do better, on and off the field. Their on field struggles might be more tolerable if they showed more tolerance. sfchronicle.com/sports/annki… sfgate.com/giants/article/sf… letras.com/bryson-gray/recla…

Once again @NoLabels is showing their true colors: no delegates, no convention, no democratic process in selecting a nominee. Instead, a self-annointed “blue ribbon committee” is conducting interviews as if they have a job opening. The Presidency is much more than that folks. So here’s the question to @NoLabels: Since you refuse to reveal #WhoFundsNoLabels will you at least tell us who you gave blue ribbons to so that they can interview applicants to be President? notus.org/2024-election/no-l…
