I already conceded the point, but the emails are priceless. A reader writes:
You said "it was once unthinkable that a pro football team would be backing gay rights." Ahem… The San Francisco Giants are a baseball team. Dude, you're so gay.

They won the World Series last year. Edgar Renteria won the World Series MVP. Welcome to America.

I will be the 100th person to email you and tell you that the SF Giants are a pro baseball team, not a pro football team. The football Giants are the New York Giants. The San Francisco Giants are the former New York Giants, the baseball team, not the football team. In fact, the current NY Giants were once often called the New York Football Giants so as not to confuse them with the New York Baseball Giants, now the San Francisco Giants. Not to be confused with the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese baseball league who unhelpfully wear uniforms nearly identical to the SF Giants, formerly the NY Giants (not the football NY Giants).
I hope that clears everything up.
