People are now prohibited from engaging in humor.

We are quickly becoming a humorless nation.

The only “humor” allowed on late-night talk shows is snarky mockery of Trump and his supporters.

Since when did major league baseball players turn into Karens? I’ve been around baseball all my life, and baseball players are among the most insensitive people I’ve ever known.

OK, I’ll bite.

WTF is a du-rag?

In Vietnam soldiers would do the old trick of tying a bandana around their heads so soak up sweat.

This became known there as a DEW rag. Sweat...dew...get it?

It's been misunderstood and mis-spelled by the ignorant ever since.

1st sentence it's an object pronoun and "should" be whom.

2nd sentence 1st occurrence it's a subject pronoun and "should" be who.

2nd sentence 2nd occurrence it's an object again and "should" be whom

This, sir, is the type of pedantry up with which I will not put.

Never heard of the dude, but he must be a pitcher of color. If the announcer had said something about the bikers who mostly wear the durag, then there would be no controversy. Seems the pitcher of color is guilty of cultural appropriation, and I hope he gives up the durag before some Hells Angels take offense.

As long as it is not true, one can say anything they damn well please against President Trump, though.

I’d go to sensitivity training just to learn about new ways to offend snowflakes.

If you don’t want somebody to comment about your “du-rag,”
don’t wear the thing. Marcus wears a pink jock!
Baseball has so many inside jokes and sayings that are insensitive. To jump on Bob Brenly for mentioning the du-rag, is way too overboard and just an excuse to bring up the only thing on the black players mind, “RACISM!”

I agree, not racist, merely baseball jargon which is mostly confined to the dugout or locker room.

We have caused black people to turn into crybabies.
Again, it is all our fault! YUK!

I remember hearing the term on Full House. Never knew it was “offensive.”
