To Be Respectful of Each Other

Milwaukee Brewers Call for Fans to be “Respectful” of Each Other.

(From the Boys Book of Battle Lyrics.)

In these terrible times, calls for respect and good behavior seem almost surprising. We are literally being drenched in Administration insults and lies.

And yet, the Milwaukee Brewers issue a statement sublime in its simple call for human decency and good public behavior.

Someday, we may have public servants, even Presidents, whose first response to an opponent isn’t a slur or an obscenity. Someday, decency, eloquence and tolerance may once again become factors in public discourse.

But not now.

Let us hope and pray for better days to come.

“The Brewers expect all persons attending games to be respectful of each other, and we do not condone in any way offensive statements fans make to each other about race, gender, or national origin. Our priority is to ensure that all in attendance have a safe and enjoyable experience at the ballpark.”
