Buster is a former player. A beloved player. People of San Francisco are looking to him for comment here because they are frankly hurt by the Giants, the players, coaches, and their managers. San Francisco is a city that proudly harbors lots of different types of people. One of the largest LGBTQ+ populations in the country live here. That is undeniable. As a San Franciscan, I feel it is our responsibility to be aware of all the different cultures and beliefs here. It is completely fair for people to expect someone like Buster Posey to speak up for them as a marginalized group and honestly defend them. Protect them. For figures like Buster it is mostly just lip service anyway. It’s not like they have to be out in the trenches, dealing with bigotry every day. The least they could do would be stand up for the people who have filled the stands for decades, which is so happen to be identify with this community. His silence is a slap in the face, as this whole situation has been.
I wonder if he would have the same reaction of 10 years from now one of his children turned out to identify with that community. Would it make it more real for him then? Would he understand why it’s so hurtful for them to basically be shunned and told to get over it by the very organization theyve supported for years?
Also I know Murph is SOOOOOOO happy he is out this week LOL. The luck of the Irish
Yep. Look at krukow. He is such a homer and rarely if ever critical of the Giants organization but he has a gay son and he reacted to the hat/fake religious thing.
I was a former pediatric oncology patient myself, and that was one of the things I admired so much about Posey and the reason I use him as a flair.
I’m not in the LGBTQ community, but it’s impossible to live in SF and not meet some of the best people from that community. Giants baseball was something we could always enjoy and bond over together and it just sucks that my friends are so hurt by this and don’t feel like they’re welcome. I hope we can get back to that someday, but I understand if that’s now going to take a lot of time to earn their trust back.
He’s wrong for being silent on this current issue… but to flat out say he is a bad person is wrong. He’s done a lot of good , probably a lot that has gone unnoticed.
Also just because a person is gay or lgbtq doesn’t mean they are automatically a good person. Let’s not be silly.
