Women deserve better from MLB

Major League Baseball has a problem. Apparently, they think it is OK to demean 50 percent of the population.

Not only should MLB be shut down, all off-color jokes, innuendos and gestures should be made Federal Hate Crimes. Additionally, 3 months of mandatory sensitivity training should be expected of every employee of MLB.
And every fan of baseball should also be expected to attend Tolerance & Diversity training in their local communities, in order to be allowed to attend future baseball games.
I hope that everyone will join me in the streets today, to protest the Chicago White Sox.

ps - We'll come back afterwards to watch re-runs of "Desperate Housewives" and "Sex And The City" afterwards.(Acceptable sexism.)

When women play MLB, then they can ask for equal treatment. It's a mans sport, played by men, and watched mostly by men.

Do we take it personally when you rip on us in your domain? Do we get upset when you ridicule how we wash the dishes? Scrub the tub? Clean the floors? No, we don't complain.

This is ridiculous. Women want to be treated equally, then they cry over petty nonsense. THEY WERE DOLLS, not real women. Wow. Its women like Barbara Barker who ruin it for EVERYONE men and women alike. Lawsuit is everyones get rich quick scheme these days. Any real judge would of threw the case out if it ever came up. Bottom Line, You go into an area where 95% of the people there are MEN expect Male humor and deal with it. If Not get another job.

Honestly, is there anything men can do that doesn't offend someone? Why do we have to pander to every person who complains? We live in a country where "majority rules" is being replaced with "3 people whining and a company backing down afraid to lose money." We are spineless nation of gossipy whiners.

Apparently major league baseball doesn't give a **** about the 50% of the population that doesn't watch baseball or go to baseball games. If the super-sensitive women are so offended then perhaps they should stick to watching the Food Channel and Dr. Phil. The perfect viewing combination for that 50% of the population that is fat and crazy.

I hope that other 50 percent stay away form baseball games. I hate sitting next to some emasculated guy who's wife/girlfriend is shoved into a David Wright shirt that's two sizes too small who won't **** hell up about her ignorance of the game. Stay at home sweetheart.

No one asked the media to publicize the blow up dolls. It was a private club house joke. This is ridiculous. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Had the US womens soccer team done something similar with male blow up dolls would I be offened? Not at all. What a waste of ink.

I would be willing to accept their logic, if...

...They get rid of anything referring to PMS, tampons, or feminine hygiene.

They offend me also.

yeah, I love it when a ladies only root for a team because they think a certain player is cute.Like with Mike Piazza, women could care less if he could throw anyone out at 2nd. Thet just wanted him on the team because they think he is cute.They could care less if David Wright sucks too.

Get a life Barbara. These guys are baseball players, not effeminite PC liberals. Stop acting offended. I'm so sick of every leftist group in this country expressing outrage over such trivial matters. They were blow-up dolls. Let the players' wives, girlfriends etc. worry about their attitudes towards women. Not you. While we're busy complaining about baseball players lack of femininity, let's advocate dressing them up in skirts and high heels instead of uniforms. That way there will be more of a female element in the game. This article is a bunch of liberal, politically correct, whiny, horsesh*t.
