For the past year Dylan, our catcher has been swinging a dead bat from our baseball field shed. He takes countless bruises for us, never complains, and is the hardest working, toughest person I have ever met. Today, we surprised him with a brand new bat! #HardWorkPaysOff
It’s just morally and reprehensibly wrong that this half-dead, morbidly lethargic, sorrowful excuse for a human being blocked or voted AGAINST paid medical leave 23 times. He returned to “work” yesterday after being on paid medical leave for 3 fucking months.
GENUINELY, i think that if we adopted a 4-day, 32-hour workweek with livable wages, people would be happier, healthier, and more present. There’s no reason we need to work this much. People need time to rest, enjoy their lives, and spend time with family and friends.
This becomes less cool when you see the FanDuel ad on the wall - I’m ok with gambling having a place in sports but at the Field of Dreams game? The movie about players who bet on games and were suspended for life because it threatened to ruin baseball?
Nothing like a little irony here in Iowa. In a game built, in part, around the story of Shoeless Joe Jackson and his second chance after being banned as part of the Black Sox scandal, there are gambling ads in each outfield corner.
