The same could be said for the ban on chewing tobacco. This is a good point. While it may be funny to see grown men in princess outfits youth hazing can really easily runaway into emotionally and physically dangerous avenues. For real it's a step in the right direction. will_colorado posted:https://twitter.com/ClevelandScene/status/808784341815988229 Industrials is probably the least terrible option there, even if the dog taking an AB with a guitar is pretty

For real it's a step in the right direction. This is the whole problem genius. The fact that it is apparently funny merely for a man to dress like a woman does is the whole entire point. The whole behavior indicates an attitude that womanhood is fundamentally funny and demeaning, and in some way embarrassingly inferior to manhood. which is why: bewbies posted:I asked a half a dozen women who are parts of my life for various reasons, all of whom are both educated and ranging from very to extremely liberal, if they found the hazing pics posted in this thread thus far offensive. 3 of the six had no opinion and 3 of the 6 found it funny. is a dumb way to determine "is this offensive" because there's not a "target offended audience" (believe it or not, people don't just go around seeking offense). It's offensive because it places an entire class of human beings as inferior to another and reinforces that negative cultural stereotype. And before anyone goes "but why are drag queens ok then", it's because drag is an art form that has a long history of mocking cultural stereotypes about gender and hazing has a long tradition of reinforcing bad cultural norms through lovely behavior.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:...it is apparently funny merely for a man to dress like a woman... It isn't, because that doesn't really even mean anything in the modern world. However, it is moderately amusing for a man to be dressed like a princess specifically and not in a particularly awful way because no one actually dresses like princesses.

Yasiel Puig convinced Turner and Jansen to return to the Dodgers at Jansen's wedding last weekend. Not really, but Jansen's agent did say that being with his family and Dodgers teammates for his wedding helped him decide that he wanted to stay in LA no matter what.

You know how if a player wants to change their number midseason they have to buy back all existing stock of their old jersey and merchandise beforehand Maybe the Indians will change their team name right after a motivated group agrees to buy up all current Indians merchandise and pays for all the needed work to transition the club to its new identity

Soul Glo posted:I saw a dead rat in Cleveland There are entirely way more stray cats than rats in Cleveland, Cleveland Cats it is. I like never ever saw a rat there, probably because of the cats. Like the only name that's any good on the Scene cover is the Spiders, the others are just too clunky. Some better names (these aren't funny because I am not a funny person): Cuyahoga Clevelanders - Kind of like the Houston Texans only harder to spell Cleveland Lake Surfers - Yes, you can surf on Lake Erie Cleveland Buckeyes - You know, just to try and hop on the only really successful team in the state Cleveland Hoggees - These are mules that pulled canal boats up the river, and sure as poo poo no one else has that name.
