Merlot Joe is either too dumb to communicate properly or is too drunk to remember what he was being asked about in the first place by the time he was done rambling.

I kinda understand what he is trying to say, but if that is the case, why not drink alcohol while they play? I mean, that is legal.

So in other words, he's defending his players who are butthurt that they can't shove shit in their mouth anymore. Good. Should be banned across the majors. Education on the issue is great, but we've been educating these hillbillies for years and they still haven't learned the lesson, so now they just can't anymore.

Are the Hawks going to speak out on this? Hockey players are just as addicted to smokeless tobacco as baseball players are. Some guys cut their feet and jam snuff in the cuts, fucking white trash.

No, nor do I see how that's germane.

Tobacco is banned throughout the minors for good reason. I don't see why that shouldn't continue to the majors.

I see why cigarettes are banned from public establishments. You're making everyone else around you uncomfortable...and putting their health at risk. Good that it was banned.

Chew? That doesn't impact me at all. If other people want to make bad decisions that only impact themselves...have at it.

Yeah. Banning chew that bothers no one seems like they are telling someone what they can do with their body. Unless the resort to the "costs to society" angle.

It'd be fine if they'd just swallow their spit. However chaw spit is fucking gross or else they leave it in cups and bottles all over the place.

Have them picks up and throw away their spit bottles. Very easy solution.

Inconceivable! Don't you guys know that everything joe does is some calculated masterpiece? By all accounts he farts Rainbows.

THE REASON

right or Wrong

is that kids will do it.

You'd think it would be easy, but apparently it's not.

Darko on a fuggin roll tonight!!!!

That's right. It has no consequence on anyone but the user. If they want to risk mouth cancer, that is their business. It is basically censorship. They don't want kids to see adult Baseball players they admire chewing, lest they decide to pick up the habit. What's next? Cutting scenes in movies where people drink alcohol or use drugs, because it might influence kids to try those things? Too much government intervention/ Big Brother crap going on.

Maddon was mad after his players gave chewing tabacco to his animals at the ballpark, during his zoo day.

I hope they never show anyone in the stands drinking BEER or eating HOT DOGS!
