Exactly what a joke

guidotoons.bsky.social•42 days ago

You can’t just be happy that justice was served? LA is burning. Stop whining

Always has been. The 8 Black sox weren't convicted but they were barred from baseball forever.

annaclarity.bsky.social•42 days ago

Hell yes.

i-gvf.bsky.social•43 days ago

An international ban.

sciaman76.bsky.social•42 days ago

Good ! Fans can be idiots 🤪

acharmingbracelet.bsky.social•42 days ago

Yes, thank you for reminding me of this. Wow.

rwarren57823.bsky.social•43 days ago

well at least they have some balls unlike the DOJ which lacks balls and a spine and courage and the will to do their job

tessacurly.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'm a Yankees fan and I'm glad. They deserve it.

timovee.bsky.social•43 days ago

If they were CEOs or multimillionaires, they would have gotten away with it.

crew1fn.bsky.social•43 days ago

Amazing how life goes on in the good old USA

ndanger42.bsky.social•42 days ago

Well, they aren't rich and political.

irbivor.bsky.social•43 days ago

This is the right result FOR election interference.

g-m0ney.bsky.social•43 days ago

The World Series is more important than the Presidency.

scorpioheavy.bsky.social•43 days ago

Ugh!

fema2h.bsky.social•42 days ago

Seems a bit like overkill

daven50.bsky.social•42 days ago

The MLB Commissioner did not have to deal with the US Supreme Court.

mickstanley.bsky.social•42 days ago

My hats off to MLB! Can't say the same to RNC

djm17.bsky.social•42 days ago

Bravo

zakaryalan.bsky.social•43 days ago

Trump is planning to pardon them. He hates LA.

thatguy30.bsky.social•43 days ago

Absolutely the right call. These idiots and their 15 minutes of fame should NEVER be allowed inside a MLB park again.

stevendedalus.bsky.social•42 days ago

Haven’t you heard of “spectator immunity”? Novel theory that I suspect will make it into a Thomas (writing for the majority) opinion.

latour2323.bsky.social•43 days ago

They both should have announced they were running for office

eldy-10.bsky.social•42 days ago

jschmorris2401.bsky.social•42 days ago

alfalphamale.bsky.social•42 days ago

Like the president elect, these 2 have interfered before and still their cohorts defend them

hankster0060.bsky.social•43 days ago

This country isn't great, never will be

blueancestor.bsky.social•43 days ago

👍

saveamerica.bsky.social•42 days ago

Ha! No effing kidding!

jeremypeeples.bsky.social•43 days ago

Or an insurrection

xaoslorderie.bsky.social•43 days ago

A factual observation and truth that should carry more weight than it ever will.

superphilx.bsky.social•42 days ago

Baseball is more serious than politics at this point.

jakethorne.bsky.social•43 days ago

Things have never been the same since the electric chair was unplugged.

kimavery1012.bsky.social•42 days ago

Or paying hush money to a porn star…and then trying to cover it up…

battlebear.bsky.social•42 days ago

Because baseball has rules, and our government does not.

ladymenopause.bsky.social•42 days ago

But this penalty is still just. (They should ban the idiot LA fan who interefered in a WS game too)

dmoni2022.bsky.social•43 days ago

Is that just crazy! Our priorities are screwed up!🤨

revdocgrandma.bsky.social•43 days ago

For the record, I think this was the correct response from MLB. If only our courts would follow this example.

dmoni2022.bsky.social•43 days ago

So we agree the courts are the ones not doing the job.

dmoni2022.bsky.social•43 days ago

...by the courts for the severity of the crimes. Baseball seemed to give the maximum penalty. While the courts continue to give the minimum or none at all. I'm not questioning the handling by baseball. I'm pointing out that baseball is not taking any crap. While the courts are being shit on!🤨

dmoni2022.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'm sure you do believe that. That said I believe that it won't be a deterrent. I understand the game and players need to be protected. This is an over zealous fan who I'm sure regretted his actions a five year ban would probably do it. My point was to the courts with the lack of punishment...

celebrindan.bsky.social•43 days ago

No shit.

Mershon: Not prez elect

goodinplenty.bsky.social•43 days ago

Sadly we are seeing that is true.

oakland1.bsky.social•42 days ago

MLB figuratively does this to their fans by ripping teams out of communities…there is no penalty for their actions. But they get real sanctimonious when fans do something similar. I don’t condone the fans, they should be punished, but the owners’ holier than thou attitude is galling.

capdance.bsky.social•42 days ago

WORD!!!!!!

fruie69.bsky.social•43 days ago

Nice 👍

waschelle.bsky.social•42 days ago

You just said a mouthful!
