The Twins re-signed Torii Hunter.
Say what you will about the move – signing a 39 year old fielder whose numbers are just a tad off – but I’ll give the man mad props for his first press conference:
When Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press asked Hunter about his previous, well-documented statements against gay marriage and support of political candidates who share his viewpoint, he called Berardino a “prick” and said he was done talking about the topic.
And Hunter is right.
Berardino – and most of the rest of the mainstream media who’ve commented on the acquisition – have burned a lot of column inches babbling about Hunter’s support for traditional marriage, which, let me remind you, the mainstream media has declared trayf via, I presume, “settled science”.
All dissent must be scourged.
The media are the new Spanish Inquisition.
Except that nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, and Berardino’s comments were all too predictable.
Good for him. He’s smart enough to recognize a trap when he sees it. I would have been tempted to say that no matter what the government does, marriage is between one man and one woman.
Wow, the gay mafia will pursue you to the ends of the earth. Stand tall Tori, stand tall.
