MLB Network's Christopher Russo: "Millennials don’t work as hard and have no accountability"

[Chuck]

Mike Trout disagrees. 

[Lou]

He's right. 

[Angel Oracle]

Chris Russo is still a loud mouthed punk.     Must be the Russo name, both he and Vince (wrasslin guy) are loud mouthed punks.

Just now, Lou said:

I don't think it has anything to do with being a millennial. I think it's more of how you were raised and if you had parents who taught what it means to have strong work ethics and to be accountable. 

I've seen plenty of Baby Boomers and Gen X's who are lazy turds and play the victim for everything that has gone wrong in their lives or jobs. 

[stormngt]

Trout the rarity and being 25 is Trout really a millennial?  

Russo is right.  The mellenials are pampered, expecting success without given to them.  They need safe spaces and are afraid of hearing opinions that might disagree with them.

Chris Russo should find an overpass during rush hour and jump.  

Fu*ck him and fu*k any piece of shit boomer with this idea.  Jump with him. 

[Scott34]

should I move this thread to the politics forum now or just erase it in about half an hour?  

[UndertheHalo]

Erase it.

"Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial"

Every generation before complains about the generation after it...nothing changes except the generation before the new one thinks their group is superior or better

It's nonsense.

I am confused.   I always thought that the 1981-1996 bunch were the Gen-X's, and the 1997 and afters were the Millennials.

Who cares. It’s all arbitrary bullshit anyway. 

[floplag]

I think the whole Millennial thing is becoming very much played out.  There are good and bad like any generation.
I have 3 millennial kids who are very responsible and work hard, one is a firefighter up in SF.
The ones i cant abide, and what no other generation has ever even conceived of, is the safe space crowd.   Its literally the dumbest Facking idea in a long line of very dumb Facking ideas and goes directly against the way things should be.

I've found this as well so the definition is "malleable":

• Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1944 and 1964. They're current between 55-75 years old (76 million in U.S.)
• Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 - 1979 and are currently between 40-54 years old (82 million people in U.S.)
• Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994. They are currently between 25-39 years old.
  • Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (31 million people in U.S.)
  • Gen Y.2 = 29-39 (42 million people in U.S.)
• Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015. They are currently between 4-24 years old (nearly 74 million in U.S.)

some of you guys are getting way over upset over something Russo said. Since his programming is based on shock jock material and saying stupid shit all the time, you really shouldn't care.

Unless, maybe, you think he may be right about you.

We can just hide posts that go off the rails or just move it to the Hangout forum if it gets to that point. 

Since Chris Russo is on the MLB Network, this is baseball talk. The guy is a complete idiot, his comments today just echo that.

Dammit, have posts already been deleted?

No. We don't delete posts, we only hide them if they're offensive.

FTR, Russo was referring to Millenial MLB players.

Complaints about "kids these days" are as tired as they are stupid.

Gen X is post baby-boomers, so mostly the 70's and late 60s. And as far as I know Millenials go up to 2000.

This is mostly the Gen Z crowd that people keep lumping in with millennials... aka kids today.
