Brace yourself for another facemask rant

[Dawgtruc]

It's now beyond ridiculous.

The Cubs GM was ejected from the stadium for not wearing a mask....in a luxury box....by himself.....no one anywhere near him.

A guy on an airline flight who WAS WEARING HIS MASK...told the flight attendant to put HER mask on. He was kicked off the plane. (see BarStool for the story)

I reluctantly wear my mask in public, but go into retail stores that require customers to wear masks, and half of their workers ARE NOT WEARING MASKS, or wearing them incorrectly.

If you think these instances are fine, you are a brain dead robot that has bought into gov't control.

The people being harassed for wearing MAGA masks. (last I checked, this was a free country, and people should be able to support a candidate, esp if no offensive language included in the slogan)

The NATIONALS GM was ejected for yelling at the ump about calls, not for not having a mask.

I guess when the stadium is almost empty, the ump can hear you.

Yeah, I had just read the headline only. I went back and clicked on the story. (you're welcome BWalker.) Barstool was "speculating" on why Rizzo was ejected. Arguing calls.

You wanna go back and edit the post now that you actually took the time to read the story and that you were wrong?

With that said, the fact that he was kicked out for complaining about balls and strikes is ridiculous. MLB needs to get a handle on the umps for that. No reason for him to be thrown out.

Well, it was the nationals GM, not the cubs GM. The reason people thought it was due to not wearing a mask is because the most embarrassing play-by-play man this side of David Kellum, Chip Caray, speculated that no mask must've been the reason because they couldn't think of anything else.

Turns out, it was for arguing balls and strikes. Loudly. From a long way away.

While true as far as it goes, the mask on the airplane synopsis you gave isn't quite complete. The flight attendant lowered her mask to give flight safety information. She lowered the mask so everybody could understand her. Apparently the guy was repeatedly giving her a hard time during the required briefing. She wore her mask all the time otherwise. He was booted for interfering with the flight safety briefing, which he should have been.

While there are probably cases of flight attendants or other crew not wearing their mask correctly (e.g., below the nose), that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Your post is a very good example of "spin".

So his entire post is either completely incorrect or misleading?

Accidental downvote sorry. I was watching the gake when it happened and it was pretty obvious he was thrown out for arguing.

 

[RocketDawg]

I didn't address anything other than what was bolded.

I just want to know where along the line did Make America Great Again become offensive..... and why does anyone let someone tell them it is?

In this day and age, always read the story because the headline writer always takes the negative approach just for the optics.

Some real hot takes on here that are quickly not aging well.

Sure, I notice employees not wearing their masks when it is asked that customers wear one. There can be a 3rd option between your crazy rant and being a brain dead robot that has bought into government control. The 3rd option is to shake your head at the absurdity of the situation and continue on with life. There just doesnt need to be anger with every example of poor execution or poor implementation in life.

If you watch the video you can hear the ump talking and saying he wasn’t wearing a mask. I think he absolutely was kicked out for that. Backlash and their spinning it.

You could have just posted the name Nancy Pelosi and been done with the rant. We would have known what you were talking about.

Perfect.
