NEW YORK -- That baseball hazing ritual of dressing up rookies as Wonder Woman, Hooters Girls and Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders is now banned.

Major League Baseball created an Anti-Hazing and Anti-Bullying Policy that covers the practice. As part of the sport's new labor deal, set to be ratified by both sides on Tuesday, the players' union agreed not to contest it.

The policy, obtained by The Associated Press, prohibits "requiring, coercing or encouraging" players from "dressing up as women or wearing costumes that may be offensive to individuals based on their race, sex, nationality, age, sexual orientation, gender identify or other characteristic."

How about Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleaders?

[VanShuyten]

But what if ARod LIKES dresses?

[ViLaLuz]

How intolerant of them.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Good grief. It’s young men playing Americas Game. Let ‘em do whatever is tradition.

[FlingWingFlyer]

In other words, STOP HAVING FUN! Fun “offends” the buttercups, snowflakes and twinkies. We all need to live little, miserable lives like the DemocRATS!

A clear case of transphobia.

This calls for a march of angry, ugly lesbians down 5th Avenue.

[Ransomed]

This is probably because they don’t wasn’t to be seen as making fun of transgender people. But in any case it was always kinda faggoty I thought. I mean who is the first guy that thought dressing guys up as girls as some type of ceremony would be awesome anyhow, in any setting much less MLB?

[ErikJohnsky]

“Walk like an Egyptian”.

So gays are OK to act as Drag Queens? Are we stereotyping a or done dress.

[Iron Munro]

Henceforth a male player can only dress up like a woman if he is an authentic sexual pervert or so garbled up in the head that he really thinks he is a women.

[csn vinnie]

I thought the libs encouraged dressing up as whatever gender suits your fancy of the moment. (OK, not Hooters Girls.)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Walk like an Egyptian

Talk like a pirate.

(somebody had to say it.)

[DouglasKC]

Wonder Woman is pissed.

[Gator113]

Now that NFL has been ruined, I guess it’s time destroy MLB.

I honestly think all of this garbage is so very stupid and un-American. And, why does everything have to be in the media?
