The “Can’t Hit Shirt List”?
Bump
PC libs have won on every single dumb issue - when will we say “Basta!”?
More unnecessary virtue signaling stupidity.
And how about them White Sox? Better be changing that racist name.
It’s stupid.
Sports are becoming as stupid as the society that it entertains.
Shouldn’t it be the Cleveland Indigenous Persons?
'First Base' (kissing) becomes 'rightmost base'.
'Second Base' (breast play) becomes 'middle base'.
'Third Base' ((censored)) becomes 'leftmost base'.
'Home plate' can remain 'Home plate'! because UNLIKE THE FIRST THREE, IT ISN'T A SEXUAL TERM!
LET THE EMASCULATION OF BASEBALL CONTINUE!
So many social injustices to correct, so little time to correct them all before society falls apart.
Here in Minneapolis they are changing history. I guess the old name offended me or something.
I think “injury list” is a more accurate description than “disabled list.’
You can tell you’re doing too many recreational drugs when the MLB “Disabled List” triggers you. These jerks need to get a life.
First it was crippled. Then that was politically incorrect.
Then it was handicapped. Then that was politically incorrect.
Then it was disabled.
Now I’ve seen non-disabled to refer to normal people.
And 100% of people will continue to use the term ‘DL.’
Advocacy groups are merely more Orwellian foot soldiers.
This is very good. I’m sure it will miraculously cure many disabled people makkng them injured people.
“They say they’re going to pre-board those passengers in need of special assistance …cripples! Simple honest direct language. There’s no shame attached to the word cripple I can find in any dictionary. In fact it’s a word used in Bible translations. “Jesus healed the cripples.” Doesn’t take seven words to describe that condition. But we don’t have cripples in this country anymore. We have the physically challenged. Is that a grotesque enough evasion for you? How about differently-abled? I’ve heard them called that. Differently-abled! You can’t even call these people handicapped anymore. They say: “We’re not handicapped, we’re handy capable!” These poor people have been bullshitted by the system into believing that if you change the name of the condition somehow you’ll change the condition. Well, hey cousin … doesn’t happen!”
— George Carlin
So do employees no longer take short term disability and long term disabled leave of absence?
Disabled is what it is.
Better change the color of those baseballs, too.
