You have to be fricking kidding me
The police state has now come into Major League Baseball
I’m fricking done

It’s depressing that sports have come this way. I love them so much. But it’s time to move on from them

Thought he was ejected for talking shite from the box?

That is what everyone else was reporting.

The head ump literally said that he would take that kind of talk from a player but not from a GM.

MSB confirming you are spreading fake news

What Joe West lacks in chin he makes up for in terrible calls and thin skinnedness.

Lying OP should be deleted

Ejected for heckling from the box. Nothing to do with the mask.

The original headline on ESPN said it was because he wasn’t wearing a mask. They came back later with an update to the story, but didn’t change their headline. I’m guessing that’s where OP got that from.

Why are umpires the most thin skinned referees in all of Sports?

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo was tossed for yelling at umpires from a luxury suite in Atlanta on Sunday, with longtime crew chief Joe West saying, “enough is enough.”

“I wouldn’t take that from a player. I wouldn’t take that from a manager,” West told The Associated Press. “If it was Donald Trump, I’d eject him, too. But I’d still vote for him.”

The 67-year-old West, on track to set the record for most games umpired in big league history next year, said the crew told the commissioner’s office Friday that Rizzo was hollering at umpires earlier in the Nationals-Braves series.

“We informed the office that if it continued we’d stop it,” West said. “And we did.”

My friend is a warden and he said the whole “mask” thing started in jail

He said the jailbirds would wear masks to show they were “available”

I always laugh when I see someone with a mask because they’re saying they’re gay!

Because they realized that if they did their job well they went unnoticed. They want the spotlight too dammit.

MLB umpires are correct 80-85% of the time. I’d say that’s doing your job well
