Senators: Ban smokeless tobacco use in MLB

[Two Thumbs]

I hate baseball. I find it dull, boring, yawn-invoking. Did I say dull? Yes I've been to a real game. It was boring.

I hate chewing tobacco. It's vile, it's disgusting, they spit, THEY SPIT!, it's nothing short of utter grossness, imo.

As someone who never even watches baseball I would love it if they did away with chewing tobacco so that on the rare occasion I inadvertently catch a glimpse of a baseball game I won't be subject to seeing brown colored wads of slime being hacked out of some ballplayers puss.

Can someone tell me what business is it of these two senators, or anyone in congress, to tell MLB how to run things? Anyone?

If MLB wants to ban it, peachy. Uncle needs to butt the fuck outta . . . . most everything.

It's the nastiest legal habit on the planet. How people get past the smell and into the taste is beyond my reckoning.

And I'm free to tell my kids not to do that.

The Fed is not my or anyone else parent. They have no right to tell anyone not to do this.

 

[Mr. H.]

And we have Dock Ellis to thank for the LSD ban. Sheesh.

 

[steeliniraq]

Gas hit $3.15 today. Unemployment is still around 10. Our school systems are a joke but thank god someone is finally addressing this massive issue of MLB and chew!

i'm still pissed about that.


bastards

 

[uscitizen]

That second hand spit is quite nasty.

 

[Mr. H.]

Over the years I have smoked, eaten, dropped, and snorted just about everything from A-Z.
But this tobacco in a can is the only truly addictive thing I've confronted.

But if it gets the Cubs to a World Series... BRING IT ON!

Get past the smell and taste? Man, I love both. I've been quit for over 5 years, but there are many a day that I'd still love to put a big wad of Redman Golden Blend in my cheek. It was a true pleasure. I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure and it's all an acquired taste. See, I'm the same way about alcohol. How do people get past the smell and taste? Who drinks beer or whiskey for the first time and says, "oh man, that is absolutely the best stuff I've ever tasted in my life......and the smell, oh my God, it's like heaven".

They already banned smoking in the stadiums.
Now if they would just ban beer sales too.

First Read - Senators: Ban smokeless tobacco use in MLB
From NBC's Ken Strickland

Two Democratic senators are asking baseball commissioner Bud Selig to ban all tobacco use in the sport, specifically citing smokeless products.

Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey are suggesting that Selig push for a ban as part of the negotiations in the players' collective bargaining agreement later this year.

Dear Dick and Frank,


Fuck you, you arrogant, self righteous assholes.

Please leave the raising of our kids to us, the actual parents, and get back to fixing the economy and working on getting people jobs.

Sincerly,
Two, don't make me shove my Thumbs up your ass

The truly sad thing, the greatest sign that society has degenerated beyond redemption, is that politicians are not accorded the universal scorn and ridicule that they ought to be treated with at all times.

I think it is a good thing senators are pushing for the ban of smokeless tobacco in the MLB. A lot of kids look up to the MLB athletes, and if they see the athletes using smokeless tobacco, the kids are going to think it is something cool to do.

Well beer is the foundation of civilisation. So us civilised folk know a good thing when we taste it.

Where, neanderthalls like to gnaw of stuff like Redman Golden Blend. (yes, I noticed that you capped each word, outta love)

I know! Every where I go I see kids scrathing thier nuts and ajusting themsleves constantly. And the sale of sunflower seeds! OMG! It's impossible to find them anymore. And don't get me started on bubblegum.





Be a good parent and you won't have to worry about this.

 

[Defiant1]

Damn, and I was going to lobby for them to bring back steroids.

It was exciting when there were lots of players hitting lots of home runs.

Good parenting is so old fashioned. Why do that when you can have the state do it for you?

Hmm, yeah. I think you're right! That idea has worked out so well in countries like-

Then that is between the kids and their parents, not a socialistic gov't. The idiots need to do what they are supposed to and leave us Americans alone.

Do keep in mind that Americans elected Americans to represent Americans. It's just that the elected representatives need to understand their consitutional boundaries.

 

[Valerie]

Perhaps, they should stick to serious business like how to run a country.

I swear I read it somewhere that THAT is what we pay them to do.

Imagine taking moral guidance from politicians.

I know, right? Talk about setting an example for the children!

Yeah it's definitely an acquired taste. My roommates and I in college used to chew sometimes--they still might, I don't know, but I haven't in like three years.

But here's the dirty little reason why... it was nearly impossible to smoke a cig while playing video games. Had nothing to do with what MLB players were doing.

We passed around an empty Gatorade bottle for spitting while playing Halo. It was way easier than trying to smoke a cig when you've already got two hands on the controller, you'd have to keep the cig in your mouth the entire time but then the smoke would drift up into your eyes and literally blind you with tears, and the ash would fall in your lap.

And if we were playing Halo there weren't any girls around anyways--so nothing to be embarrassed about. We could just be disgusting guys.

Well isn't that just a lovely image.

I can see the broken down footon and the empty pizza boxes now.

ah
