Typical Leftist stunt, ban something &or punish others because it offends a few.
I’m also allergic to leftists and socialists. Until this team bans them, I won’t give them a dime.
Dunkin Donuts Park...
Hmmmm, I’m thinking this really has bugger all to do with peanut allergies.
I’ve been allergic to dairy products since about the age of ten, yet I would not want ballparks or hockey arenas to ban ice cream sandwiches or hot chocolate just because I can’t have those things.
So, you punish the 99% of people who aren't allergic to peanuts and deny a life lesson for those who are:
You are responsible for your own health and safety. The world does not stop for you.
Guess they won’t be singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” anymore........
Changing the lyrics to Take Me Out To The Ballgame to remove peanuts? Have peanut allergies become so powerful that merely hearing the word induces anaphylaxis?
I get that minor league teams live on promotions and this is a promotion of the team, but I also think it's part of the wider move among hysterical millennials and their helicopter parents to remove everything that is in any way objectionable to the little darlings. Very clever of the left to take advantage of this to push their censoring ways by grooming the millennials to be accustomed to having their environments scrubbed. Makes it very easy to put in place action, speech, and thought codes like we see on college campuses across the country and ultimately across all of society.
They should also ban unhealthy items like hot dogs, soda, and beer.And donuts (I have been to stadia with Dunkin Donuts—hey, change the name of the park too)...and baseballs.People can be injured by balls that go into the stands.
“The Hartford Yard Goats are rewriting the lyrics to “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” after announcing earlier this month its Dunkin’ Donuts Park will be peanut-free. “
Dunkin Donuts Park? I guess the take me out to the ballgame theme song is now feed me some cream and jelly donuts.
Sounds like an Animal Farm team.
Folks, go to Dunkin Donuts website, download their nutrition PDF and read the very last paragraph at the very end of the speadsheet.
Dunkin Donuts in NOT peanut free.
ROTF!
I still don't get why peanuts need to be banned because a tiny few are "allergic" to them. If you are allergic to them, then just don't buy them! Don't eat them!
Should ban hot dogs too. They have nitrates in them.
defective children with peanut allergy should not be allowed out in public.
instead of ruining baseball for everyone, people with peanut allergies should avoid baseball games.
I used to think California was Liberal Loon Central in this country, but the Nutmeg State is really giving them a run for their money.
I was just talking to someone about this issue yesterday. Many if not most kids are sensitive to peanut when they are young and may react. One of mine reacted when she was about one. The doctor said to wait a year and try again. We did and she was fine.
I work with a large youth organization. We had one peanut allergy kid. I asked his mom for some guidance then asked when he had his last reaction? It was eight years ago when he was two.
I asked if they ever did the peanut test at the hospital. Oh no, we would never consider that!!!!
In my opinion, anyone claiming peanut allergies and demanding special consideration must take that test and provide written doctor signed proof of the allergy
Hartford Yard Goats are a CT taxpayer funded operation. Just following all the Libs at the statehouse. Never will go to see them, especially with tolls on all CT roads!
Obviously the sale of any Peanut products should be Banned throughout the entire Country.
If it saves just one Child and all that Jazz.
The same applies to Swimming Pools and every other “thing” that may accidentally cause a Child’s death.
