Strip clubs have never in life been my ministry, and it’s stories like these that remind me why I choose to abstain.

From NBC News:
Tommy Pham, an outfielder for the San Diego Padres, was stabbed in the back outside a strip club in the city on Sunday night.
The 32-year-old was stabbed at least once during a fight in the club’s parking lot after 10:30 p.m. and suffered non-life-threatening wounds, according to NBC San Diego, citing police.
According to ESPN, the altercation occurred after Pham saw two strangers arguing near his car and when he asked them to move, the situation escalated and he was stabbed in his lower back. Thankfully, no major organs were hit, though he required stitches to sew up the wound. Pham is expected to make a full recovery and is currently listed in “good condition.”
“I’d like to thank the incredible medical staff at UC San Diego Health for taking such great care of me last night,” Pham said in a statement. “I truly appreciate the hard work of the [San Diego Police Department] as well as they continue their search for the suspects. While it was a very traumatic and eye-opening experience for me, I’m on the road to recovery and I know I’ll be back to my offseason training routine in no time.”
The Padres, however, have thus far declined to comment on the situation.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident and Pham’s attackers remain at large.
