MLB - "No more dressing rookies up as women"

[Spirit]

Really?

 

[Brandon]

fuck this, i quit.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Such a moronic ruling. I'm sick of how sensitive everyone is.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Someone has to go too far and jack some rookies off and ruin it for everyone.

This falls very, very low on the list of things I care about. In fact, it's right below Under Armour logo on MLB Uniforms. 

Eppler needs to sign Chamberlain or Crisp and give us something to really debate on. Even Espinosa drew a sort of universal 'I'm okay with this' tone.

Hey, you can't even lend a hand anymore.

Well there goes the Tootsie bobblehead promo next season

[Stradling]

Hey baseball do something important like figure out pace of play or find out why black dudes aren't playing the game anymore.  Fucking idiots.

"Political correctness gone mad or something"

Just kidding. One of the stupidest parts of our sport is gone. That is good.

[AngelsLakersFan]

I actually feel bad for the incoming rookies... who knows what the veterans will come up with to replace it...

[Second Base]

All I know is there's hazing, and then there's holding a dude down and jacking him off.

Also, maybe I'm just a blow-hard, but now that I've reached my 30's and am well removed from college, I'm not willing to spend much time worrying about touchy people's feelings.  I'm going to call a duck a duck.

If rookies don't appreciate being dressed up as females and paraded in front of the media and fans, then find another occupation, because I guarantee you, there are THOUSANDS toiling in the minor leagues and MILLIONS elsewhere that would do just about anything to be in your spot. 

Political correctness is chief among things that get on my nerves.  Trying to overcomplicate simplicity. 

 

[Troll Daddy]

How about Super Heros

Commissioner of baseball:

Good. As if screwing up about 70% of the time isn't humiliating enough.

MLB gives zero shits about rookies, and I guarantee this change did not come from their complaints. This is about MLB not wanting it's media images dragged into gender debates or, perhaps, offending women. Be pissed about it if you want, but at least be pissed about the right thing.

MLB can do more than one thing at a time.

[GrittyVeterans]

Damn Libs

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Glad to see that Commissioner Manfred is addressing the most pressing issues in the game.

I guess that kills Rockford Peaches tribute night.

[Docwaukee]

Arte didn't want to pay for transgender signs in the locker bathrooms.

I can figure that out. They are too busy playing basketball and football. It's a faster route to the stardom and it has way more eyes watching it. Plus u can't just play baseball alone like u can running for football or shooting hoops for basketball. It's not a black thing it's a American societal thing where our attention spans are miniscule 

[Blarg]

What if the rookies want to dress like women ?

Then it's actually encouraged.

[Docwaukee]

this is in direct correlation to the fact that when Trout had to do it, aybar asked '?quien es esa gordita?'

You lost me at playing football alone.
