If I say lover of naps, “selfies” and participation ribbons, you would say . . . Millennials?

According to one Alabama minor league baseball team, those are the pillars of life for people born between the 1980s and early 2000s, along with avocados, craft beer and safe spaces.

n an effort to bring younger fans to the ballpark, the Montgomery Biscuits are hosting "Millennial Night" this weekend, but their advertising on social media set off an eruption of mixed feedback from the very group they’re trying to attract.

The Tampa Bay Rays’ Double-A affiliate, currently with a record of 15-11, tweeted last week: “Want free things without doing much work? Well you're in luck! Riverwalk Stadium will be millennial friendly on Saturday, July 21, with a participation ribbon giveaway just for showing up, napping and selfie stations, along with lots of avocados.”

[ “Want free things without doing much work?” ]

Are you certain the Democrats aren’t using this to sponsor Socialism Night?

“Should we have said “Snowflake Night” instead?
Would that have been better?
How about ‘Basement Dwelling Freeloaders Night’!

I’m personally offended that they think I like avocados. That’s the worst part.

Perfect! They should add “For fans totally devoid of a sense of humor!”

Fox has been wasting a lot of time lately pandering to left wing interests. And it is getting worse. Much less time spent on the important issues of the day....like defeating socialism/communism in the American democracy.

I’m not offended. While I’m by definition an millennial, I refuse to be associated with such idiots. I go by the original generation name: Generation Y.
