Perspective: Mike Pence says baseball has a track record of American greatness. That's only if you ignore its many flaws and contradictions.
Still, criticism is understandable on the surface, although what the sisters are doing is misunderstood.in Johns Hopkins’s “Theory & Event” journal of political theory, argued that the sisters aren’t in the same category as mascoting.“It’s the power dynamic that’s important here,” she told me last week from her Bay Area home. “Indigenous groups are disempowered. … They’re marginalized.
“When the sisters do their critique or they do their performance art — not their community service, but their performance art — that is critique from their position of marginality,” said Glenn, who said she grew up in the Catholic Church but no longer practices. “It’s the Catholic Church, this massive organization that’s got all kinds of its own problems, judging and excluding and guilt, all the stuff that they do to marginalize communities. So the sisters are not a hate group.
The sisters are flipping the script on appropriation. They aren’t misappropriating a culture that isn’t theirs, as sports teams have done with Native imagery. They are using Catholic imagery to challenge the church to do better, to live up to its mission, particularly to those who are LGBTQ+.I’m not telling Catholics how they should feel about the theatrics of the sisters. I understand how they can feel insulted by the sisters’ antics, if not their work.
But it has nothing to do with any fantastical history of baseball that Pence attempted to make. Baseball does not, as Pence said, have a “long track record … for American greatness.” What the game has is a deep archive of contradictions to whatever ideals have been said to make America so noble.
