Dude, this clown world stuff gets more embarrassing by the day:
Like, is this a parody account or am I really seeing this from PETA?
Because I cannot take it seriously.
They even changed their display name to "Arm Barn."
So let me get this straight: you want baseball—baseball in general—to replace a term they've been using since the early 20th century…
BECAUSE IT'S OFFENSIVE TO CATTLE?!?!
The clown world is spinning at an exhausting pace!
Somebody needs to make a Waylon Jennings parody called "Stop the Clown World and Let Me Off." Because I'd totally buy that record. I need to get off this ride, like, yesterday.
Here's something interesting, though, since we're talking baseball:
The origin of the term "bullpen" has long been debated in baseball. One popular notion is that the term came from Bull Durham tobacco. At one time most ballparks had ads on the outfield fences and Bull Durham was always near the spot where the relief pitchers warmed up. In those days all games were day games and the signs provided much needed shade. In 1910 the Bull Durham name was so closely associated with the ballpark, that signs where in almost every park in the country. These signs stood 40 feet long by 25 feet high. The company offered a $50 reward to any hitter who could hit a ball off one. In addition, any player hitting a home run in a park with a bull on the fence got a carton of tobacco. In 1909 there were 50 signs in place and 14 players won. The next year with nearly 150 Bull Durham signs being hit 85 times, $4,520 in cash and more than 10,000 pounds of tobacco was given out.
So that's pretty neat.
Anyhow, we shall see if the MLB will cave to the anti-speciesists—who are probably technically considered anti-racists, according to Ibram Kendi, by the way. They've caved to the wokies before, as we saw with this year's All-Star Game. And my guess is they'll do it again.
Real quick before I go, I like this guy's take right here:
Perfect solution!
