Sweet Mother of Pearl has the entire world gone INSANE??????
Yes Indy. Yes it has. Where have you been sir.
No. Not the entire world. Some of us are waiting to see what girls with guns pick you'll post next. It keeps us grounded.
I'm not sure I am getting your concern. Seems to me she rejected their offer in a polite and respectful way, and let them know why. Are you indicating she should have just declined without giving a reason? Just trying to understand where you are coming from on this.
Now that said, if it's private property, it is their venue, their rules... there is the wrinkle that typically a whole lot of public money goes into these venues, but that is a different discussion all together, and I am well aware that the bill of rights is about the government and citizens/individuals and not private entities such as businesses interactions with individuals.

Yep decades of “compromise” has only seen more restrictions on rights. No more.
Make sure you use your fork, and not your hand, unlike Uncle Versie Ledbetter...

Wait, so because this lady refused to sing at a venue that had a pre-existing (and you presume) no firearms policy you consider that she is merely virtue signalling because of her decision to not have her right infringed?
Her there was no possibility of her rights being infringed. And, as another poster stated earlier, they did have a pre-existing firearms policy. Further the woman had attended the games prior to the new security measure.
So, to answer this question (knowing that the venue had a long standing no guns policy) why her position is virtue signaling...
...If the venue had always had a "no guns" policy, she felt completely fine with violating it's stated rules to enjoy games. Now you could say "maybe she didn't see the signs," but c'mon. Does anyone really believe that? If you assume she knew of the policy, why didn't speak up then? Apparently she would have been fine singing the anthem if not for the new policy, despite people who actually either avoided the place or abided by the policy of the venue with an understanding that no firearms were permitted.
I call it virtue signaling. She's wishy-washy on her stance, unlike some, who wouldn't spend a dime at a particular place based on policy alone.
So it would be fair to say that it is your opinion she was not having her rights infringed, and that because she was aware of a previously known policy of no firearms in the venue (which she had previously attended) that she was virtue signalling.

"Sanctuary Ball Parks" suck
Conjecture. Pure conjecture. Here's some more: She was perfectly glad to ignore their little signs because she knew they were ineffective against motivated evil and she would just discretely handle things herself. But when they stepped up their game to disarm only the law abiding, that was the "last straw". Now it is the time to take a stand.
Sometimes we all put up with little slights here and there because some hills just aren't worth dying on. Some folks just want to go about their business and not fuss, fight, and complain about every little thing they can just ignore or circumvent. Then sometimes, it comes to the point we feel compelled to act.
