Phillies Pride Night is this week, Thursday, June 28th, and as with any event of its kind throughout major league sports, its existence is difficult to reconcile with the actions of its respective athletes, teams, and leagues. Baseball culture perpetuates toxic masculinity to a point where players aren’t comfortable being publicly LGBTQ. Slurs are captured on camera often enough that it makes a fan wonder how many are caught via league cameras or microphones that are swept under a rug. Just earlier this month, the Phillies invited Curt Schilling to the ballpark in order to honor him with the rest of the 1993 team.
