However, Barnstormers officials announced on the Team's Facebook page late Wednesday, July 9, that they had cancelled the appearance of the three due to an overwhelmingly negative feedback from fans.
That post has since been deleted, but several fans have spoken out about decision to cancel the trio's appearance, with reactions seeming a bit mixed about the decision, as some applauded the decision, while others shamed the organization for violating the cast member's abilities to express Freedom of Speech.
"Thank you for respecting your neighbors and cancelling the appearance this Friday of the Discovery TV show actors. We will continue to be loyal fans!" one fan wrote on the page.
"12 posts to your page by 9 or 10 different people are the reason you cancelled a charity appearance by three people who are trying to give back to their community," another fan wrote. "If people don't like a TV show, they are FREE to change the channel, and ratings will determine whether the show continues or not. Baseball celebrates AMERICA-land of free speech and free markets."
Miller and Stoltzfus have not commented on the cancelled appearance, though Beiler did make a statement on his Facebook page.
"I regret to inform everyone that the cast from Amish Mafia will not be attending the barnstormers game this Friday night. We were looking forward to coming together to make the night not about us but to raise money for the charity children deserve a chance. Unfortunately us making an appearance for a good cause upset some people in the community and they lashed out..," he wrote July 9. "People should see the good in others and the good things they are trying to do. I think then the world would be a better and much happier place. God bless you all. Sorry again."
