@r_saunders15 You're just wrong. This wasn't a knee-jerk reaction. It was debated for years. And if it has really hurt the fan experience, not sure why attendance records would continue to reach all-time highs since they extended the nets.
Maybe there's a way to scale it back slightly but cannot go back to how it was before. Too many adults and kids used to get seriously injured. Took an emotional drain on the players. Was a huge liability for the MLB. Extending the nets was the correct and long overdue decision.
@r_saunders15 Yeah you already cited that statistic. I don't find it compelling. The good news is: the nets are never gonna go away (so keep crying about it), families can enjoy a baseball game with less risk, and the players don't have to worry about killing anyone.
Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.
Are we really living in a democracy when the richest man on earth can spend as much as he wants to elect his candidates?
The most important thing our nation can do is end Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.
Billionaires can’t be allowed to buy elections.

@Acyn Can someone in @NICKIMINAJ tell her she's making a wicked bad mistake by getting into the political arena. I bought tickets to her lame ass your last year, but won't ever again thanks to this. Girl bye. Idc about your views just keep this shit to yourself.
I got my ass handed to me yesterday in debate, but I am profoundly encouraged to have been a small part of the long work of affirming that in America, we choose our leaders.
Thank you to the 22 Democrats who stood with me.
