People are so thin-skinned these days. It's sad.

Considering someone else’s perspective is thin skinned?

The main issue was teams playing games and abusing it. The LA Dodgers absolutely abused the system. While many teams used the system, LA just flat out abused it.


I'm not talking about the PC crap, i'm talking about the talk of changing the DL rules, because of teams abusing the system, so they can open up spots to help the pen.

Yup, and it's pathetic.

I doubt a disabled person is even offended by this.

People just make up stuff to be offended over.

Anytime anyone anywhere complains about something, for any reason, we should definitely change it.

A perfect system.

It's not "we", it's an extremely loud and angry SJW lynch mob on Twitter that for some reason everyone is terrified of.

People haven't figured out the only power these tards have are that you give them by engaging them.

Attempting to appease them only emboldens them. Bullies bully those who can be bullied.

If people started telling these cranks to F off they would fade back into the shadows where shrieking cranks belong.

Your virtue signalling isn't winning you any internet brownie points here.

You should be be tweeting or posting on your Facebook. You may even get enough likes to stop hating yourself for a few hours.

"The principal concern is that using the term 'disabled' for players who are injured supports the misconception that people with disabilities are injured and therefore are not able to participate or compete in sports. As a result, Major League Baseball has agreed to change the name 'Disabled List' to be the 'Injured List' at both the major and minor league levels.


I've been alive for almost half a fricking century, most of which has been spent following baseball, and I've never once had this "misconception"...which in the SJW world probably makes ME the a-hole.

Kind of like the people who abuse disability benefits when they are capable of working. See, it was accurately named after all.

You're on a random, anonymous internet message board about sports and you're desperately trying to show off just how "woke" you are.

That's about as beta as anything I can possibly fathom.

Keep fighting those windmills champ.
