@moboost4u @JeffPassan @stephapstein The context has already been reported- of course it wasn’t random. One of the reporters is an outspoken critic of the Astros with regards to Osuna and their tolerance of DV, and the tirade was directed at her as an intimidation tactic

The majority of SF fans probably don’t want to feel alienated from their team by having a blatant misogynist being honored at an event, but sure, the tweeps? 🙄

The tweeps are right. Huff’s awful tweets are enough reason not to invite him, and it seems Giants fans understand and agree with the team’s call (judging by the response). I do, though, feel some sympathy for Huff who suffered a tragic, traumatic event in childhood.

Dodgers should incentivize public transit options instead. That parking lot exists only to store empty cars 2% of the year and is the worst part of the game experience. It is a massive misuse of land and a prime example of how insane car culture is in LA

This might be the most L.A. sponsorship ever: #Dodgers announced a deal with Fuelster. The company fills your gas tank for you while you watch the game: Park at Dodger Stadium; leave your gas door open; order fuel via app; watch the game while someone magically fills your tank.
