The Rocky Mountain Vibes foul out.

From PJ Media we learn the depressing but not surprising decision of the Rocky Mountain Vibes, a minor league baseball team based in Colorado Springs, to cancel its planned Family Night event following the game, this occurring just hours before it was to take place.

Whatever for, you may ask? The answer will hardly raise eyebrows in these times. When team management announced the family friendly event, one for which they were seeking sponsors, an organization with the wonderful name of Save the Stork, which is dedicated to assisting pregnant women who chose not have an abortion, stepped up to the plate. By doing so they managed also to sell 3000 tickets to the game beforehand, about double the average per-game sales of this hardly outstanding ball team.

Management, despite the vastly increased ticket sales, decided they would have none of it and dropped the event. Their explanation why (quoted below) is a classic example of mealy-mouthed mush from mediocrities terrified of offending their noisome cultural superiors, none of whom likely have been to a ball game in their lives. (PJ Media points out the singular appropriateness of the Vibes’s mascot: a s’more, i. e., a marshmallow).

While we value all our sponsors and ticket holders, they do not make decisions regarding the nature of our post-game entertainment, or groups that come out to our stadium to raise awareness for their causes. The Vibes made this decision after seeing the proposed assets from the partner in question because they felt that the partner would hinder the team’s mission in providing fun and affordable family entertainment. Any statement placing blame on any outside party for cancelation of tonight’s events is inaccurate. The Vibes made this decision internally and stand by their choice.

Don’t you just love “the proposed assets?” These “assets,” helping women who wish to deliver their babies rather than kill them, apparently “would hinder the team’s mission in providing fun and affordable family entertainment.” In other words, having babies is too controversial and might be upsetting to people.

Your Tatler remembers when aborting babies was controversial, not having them.
