I was listening to the Rusillo podcast and they brought it up. They were actually indifferent to the notion.

Smith went on a rant lamenting how Major League Baseball, which he pointed out to have more white players, allows players to police themselves by throwing at each other while “predominantly African-American” sports like the National Football League and the National Basketball Association have rules for dress code and player safety, saying baseball “lends itself towards a culture that has never gone away.”

Baseball's culture of "unwritten rules" is one of the most ridiculous things in sports.

Stephen A Smith also called out a guest on his show who was trying to say Kaepernick doesn't need to vote.
He plays both sides pretty well. Don't let him rustle your jimmies.

Start with not enjoying a home run. Always despised that rule.

Is he wrong?
He's likening baseball to a good ol boy network, and I see his point.

llows players to police themselves by throwing at each other while “predominantly African-American” sports like the National Football League and the National Basketball Association have rules for dress code and player safety, saying baseball “lends itself towards a culture that has never gone away.”

Teams get to decide if they want their players to dress well. I was fined every damn time I didn't have at least a collared shirt on with the 2 organizations I was with. Other ones let guys walk out the clubhouse after a game in flip flops and board shorts.
Are you and Stephen complaining that the MLB doesn't have a tyrannical commissioner?

Don't even sit next to the guy.
