Unwritten rules in pro sports to protect feelings is the softest shite ever

frick your feelings.
If someone wants to bat flip, who cares
If someone wants to swing at a 3-0 count, let them, pitcher's fault for getting to 3-0 anyway
If someone wants to dunk at the end of the game, you were gonna lose anyway who cares if it was by 2 more points
If someone wants to run the score up in football, let them. Either they're keeping their starters in for injury risk, or they have backups in and want to have them run real plays to gain game experience

Baseball is by far the worst

Baseball is the worst by far but the Suns just got big mad at Zion’s dunk. Big big mad.

this one has always been the dumbest for me. If the pitcher is gonna throw one right over the plate, I don't give a frick what the count is.

Agreed.

Feels like a lot of baseball ones were made up or players started caring about them once professional athletes got softer within the last decade

I like when they bunt for a hit when a guy is going for a no hitter

I think a lot of it is the number of former players doing announcing and commentary. One guy doesn't like something, it evolves into another unwritten rule.

It is pretty crazy that a bunch of alpha male athletes are the biggest pussies in existence. I thought Chris Paul was going to cry after that dunk.

I cherish the unwritten rules of baseball.
Example: foul tip hits the catcher, umpire is not required to call time, but he takes his time delivering the new ball to the pitcher, and vice versa if the ump gets hit. Unwritten rule.

Uh, yeah, that's cool and all, but that's not what we are talking about.

So...your feelings compelling you to bat flip are ok, but your feelings that you have been disrespected are not ok.
Someone disrespects you and slow trots a homerun, and you can't get angry.
After you slow trot a homerun and then get plunked your next at bat, you are allowed to get angry.
I see a lot of feelings here. Seems like some of them you want to protect and others you don't.
No one has to follow the unwritten rules, but I don't think you should complain if you pay a consequence for not following them.

That’s a courtesy; different from playing aggressively on offense with a big lead which I would argue, in a series, should be done to bombard the pitching staff.

So, if I can't complain about your bat flip, you can't complain about my brush back?

I would say throwing at people is messed up anyway you look at it. I don’t care if baseball culture has accepted it.

The Suns are mad? You know what else sucks? Every talking basketball head in America openly debating and advocating which big market team every Pelicans/Hornets star should play for. Or said players wearing “That’s All Folks” t shirts to their final game with the team.
That’s two decades of frick you America in one dunk. It’s our turn now.

I like when they go for 2 up by 25 and use a trick play.

When they stop trying to score then I'll stop, but until then

I don’t think taking 3-0 has anything to do with preserving feelings. Not swinging 3-0 has more to do with drawing a walk vs risking a cheap pop out.
Now if you’re talking late in the game with a big lead, then yes.
