You get that those infants don’t actually buy the tickets, right? 

Perhaps just me, but not where I’d bring a 2 year old. They’re defenseless and won’t remember a lick of the game anyway without getting hit. Sincerely hope the kid’s fine and the parents learn something without getting paid.

People tend to call the second point “victim blaming,” but I know my brother refused to sit anywhere near that area until his kids proved they could pay attention to the game. Even then he said he couldn’t enjoy the first few games because he was always making sure they were paying attention and that he was always…

yes extend the netting and make all spectators as safe as possible

More distractions in the park, more people looking at their phones, and a juiced baseball that jumps off the bat quicker than ever.  

This guy’s level of concern is touching. Pretty sure he’s looking down to see if he spilled any of his beer…

Foul balls can still go over netting and there are still risks, albeit minor ones, to tiny kids being anywhere in the park.

Yep...baseball being a potentially dangerous spectator sport is in no way new information, just as it isn’t new information that there are certain locations in ballparks where the risk of being hit by a ball is increased.

Agreed, it’s like taking your kid front row to a NASCAR race and being upset that metal shrapnel is flying all over the two of you when someone puts it in the wall.

At the very least give the infant a glove and a fighting chance 

Safety aside, from an enjoyment perspective, I don’t know why you would bring a 2-year-old child to a baseball game, it can’t possibly be fun for anyone involved. And if you can afford the lower deck, you can afford a sitter.

I appreciate that nuance is always the enemy in this conversation but:

she was asked by a reporter. 

I kind of wish they’d all go and then when making their presentation just call him out on all of his shit.  Give him a jersey that says Rapist 45.  Make out with your wife/gf, bring a refugee with you, etc.  I wouldn’t want to go there and be all fake either so instead go and don’t be fake.

The only reason I’d be in the same room as him was to take the opportunity to tell him what a noxious piece of garbage he is to his face. 

Tell that to the Miracle on Ice.

Your sports entertainment has always been combined with politics. From Hank Aaron, to Muhammad Ali, to Jesse Owens, to Megan Rapinoe and Colin Kaepernick. Just because you prefer to pretend politics doesn’t have anything to do with it until enough time has passed that the CHUDS who were opposed to them feel…

Well before Donald Trump farted out some tweets in her general direction this morning

The only time Donald Trump ever cared about women’s soccer was the time he heard that Brandi Chastain took off her top after scoring a championship goal.  And when he discovered that he couldn’t see any accidental boobies the same way he could by busting into his Teen Miss USA pageant dressing rooms, he stopped caring.

God damn I love a strong positive female role model. I’m showing my kids every single Rapinoe highlight I can find tonight.
