I heard this on PTI. They said it's insensitive to disabled people. Is this a joke?

Untrue. They're doing it because too many people think being on the DL means "on the down low."

Okay. People literally have too little to do these days.

"In recent years, the commissioner has received several inquiries regarding the name of the 'Disabled List,'" Pfeifer wrote. "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.

The NFL's physically unable to perform term is insensitive to old men with sex issues. I demand it be changed.

Not going to pretend like this change bothers me in the slightest....with that said I highly doubt I’ll call it anything other than the DL

We need to consider our fellow man DS. I don’t feel bad for using DS because I suspect you actually have a mental disability.

I prefer the alternative of telling people to sack up and focus on real problems
