I’m sort of late to this thread, but i come with more news.

I don’t think the Padres intentionally set out to marginalize or offend or disrespect the Gay Men’s Chorus. It just seems that the Padres might be run by a bunch of fucking incompetents.

The Padres, for their part, say they are “surprised” at these allegations, because no-one has complained to them. It seems, from these stories, that they bring about the same level of quality to their park management as they do to their baseball operations.
