I'm watching the Royals game, camera shot of the umpires arm.
Umpire is wearing a wrist band, announcer says all the umpires are wearing wrist bands in support of each other to stop the escalating verbal abuse of umpires.

Huh?
Are you freaking kidding me????
Verbal insults come with the territory.
It's almost part of the job description.
Hello, if you don't have thick blood maybe umpiring as a career path is not for you.

Seriously, everybody is a snowflake these days.
You can't make this shit up.

[dlowilly]

Baseball umpires have very little voting power and even democrats don't really identify with their struggle so i doubt this has legs

[jjgold]

American unknown pussies across the world

[slambam]

Um.... duh.

[daneblazer]

Angel Hernandez is a bit of a pussy. He sued MLB for racism against cuban umpires or something this year.

[Kermit]

Amazing.

[Coolcanuck79]

Sadly the world has come to this where anything you say/do/imply/think/imagine/etc can offend someone and they will feel oppressed. Sad, really sad world we live in now.

Yes, we are living in what will be known in the future as the Snowflake Age. An age in which softies face their problems with crying about how everything isn't fair, protesting for dumbass causes, no matter how fukin stupid, and running to a safe space. Its is off the charts pathetic.

Don't forget about all the snowflakes getting triggered by the other snowflakes actions. The snowflakes that don't realize their snowflakes too.

[Mr KLC]

It's beyond ridiculous now. I've pretty much distanced myself from people outside my inner circle the last few years. i work in an office with 300 people, and you never know when you will say the wrong thing to someone nowadays. I can't even bring myself to compliment someones appearance anymore. Who knows when someone will take it as me trying to pick them up.

[PAULYPOKER]

In the 1860s, a snowflake was a person who was against the abolishing of slavery...

In the 1970's, snowflake was used as a derogatory term for white or black people who were perceived as acting white.

In the millennium, snowflake was used to describe the emotional weakness of millennials...

As of 2016, snowflake is now used by "far right wingers" to describe the entire left
and anyone who criticizes Trump.....

My,how we have evolved,haven't we?

[Sam Losco]

my assumption on why the umps are doing this is because they got pissed that joe west gets suspended for calling a player whiny, but kinsler only gets fined for saying an ump needs a new job

[GOIRISH]

while the mlb handles this maybe they can work on getting the umpires health insurance that covers eyes.


Still fuming over the 2012 wild card infield fly ruling.

Only in America

Everybody seems soft .

I had a guy talk shit to me in the book then when I walked over to him he threatened to call the police.

If that's not pussy shit I don't know what is he was 50 so I know he knows better.

He's from an era when they used to fist fight over differences.

And not press charges like a little bitch.

The kids growing up today are the worst I had a 17 year old mouth off to me because I guess he thinks I won't touch him because he's 17?

I can wait a few more months.

[The Kraken]

What's the point of settling differences with fist fights? That is not to be gloriified. What you see as soft is simply boys or young men choosing to control their emotions and not resort to violence.

Remember, Americas number 1 problem right now is male violence. Look how many stabbings, shootings, assaults, rapes, burglaries their were last year and 99.9% were committed by men.

A nice PC world we live in. Yet, it's not. It's like solving a rubrik's cube these days with what is allowed.

Can't hurt anyone's feelings. Can't compliment anyone either. Can't even damn wave, or smile at anyone. I wave at everyone when I'm outside, or driving through my neighborhood. The rate of return is less than 50%.

Can't go near a young kid, teen, whatever, and be nice without parents thinking you're a pedophile.

Hold doors open, and people don't care. Ask someone how's it going? Well, it's going.

I don't know. Just not the world I grew up in, and I'm only going on 30. Wonderful PC, paranoid, and miserable USA. As for the world, who knows.

And you start a thread crying about it... has the whole world gone soft??????

[bradthebloke]

its pusscake city out there

[Slipknot26]

The entire issue is overblown because groups caring what other groups are saying , their feelings , the push on every single GD item pushed by the political environment right now . Every single item gets shoved into Right vs. Left .
Once we say fukk you to everyone and their feelings or opinions on the simplest of issues , we'll get back to normalcy in this country which may be awhile with social media, political environment at this stage .
I was told the other day , well , you don't know what it's like to be called Racist for being white .
My response , I'm white as it gets , have been called Racist , the difference between you and me , I could give 2 shits what someone else , who has no idea who I even am , feels or says about me . They get told fukk your opinion and feelings , move on .

[hotcross]

Umpires make around $200k in MLB to work about 5 months...for that salary I'd put up with a lot!

Personal - lost a friend earlier this year who I loaned a decent amount. When the repayment date passed by 3 weeks without a word from him, I called very calm and nicely asked him about it, he asked for a few more months and I agreed after politely remind him he gave his word. Later he did pay it back with a note never call him again because of the way I treated him.

I wasn't understanding the pussification of our nation until this happened.

What I say is irrefutable, sure it ruffles feathers of some of the snowflakes but male violence is easily the biggest threat to our way of life.

[jjgold]

The whole world has not gone soft America very very weak we're prime for a takeover in the next 15 years

[JIBBBY]

Very soft.. Alot of snow flakes.. Many Men and Women in America that are very sensitive and get butt hurt easy..

I'd rather fist fight & live to fight another day.

[JIBBBY]

I'd rather fist fight & live to fight another day.

Alot of people are training MMA now.. Throw down with someone that is trained up and you will get kicked in the head, fall back and hit your head on the concrete and die.. I think I'd rather be shot....

Remember if you ever are about to get in a fight with a dude with coliflower ears my advice is to buy him a beer instead and call it day..
