Gun-Rights Group Calls Out Chicago White Sox For Anti-Gun Advocacy On Social Media

Major League Baseball franchises have generally tried to stay out of the gun-control fight. The Chicago White Sox apparently didn’t get the memo.
On June 5, the White Sox used their official social media account to publicly endorse Everytown for Gun Safety and other gun-control organizations on what gun-control groups have branded “Gun Violence Awareness Day.” The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms responded by adding the franchise to its “Don’t Feed the Gun Prohibitionists” list — a consumer advocacy effort identifying businesses whose corporate positions support organizations actively working against Second Amendment rights.
For White Sox fans who happen to own firearms, that’s a problem the franchise just created for itself.
The White Sox X post that started the trouble
The franchise didn’t just acknowledge “Gun Violence Awareness Day” passively. The White Sox actively endorsed gun-control organizations in a graphic posted to X:
“Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. The White Sox are committed to seeking innovative solutions to gun violence. We are proud to support these organizations and their efforts to help create a safer community.”
