Loading ...Even more reasons why Bud Selig should die…
Jul 9th, 2007 by Jeff
With nothing decent on the boob tube tonight, I figured I’d watch the home-run derby. Who on earth (or possibly off it) came up with the hideous Halloween-themed uniforms? What happened to the traditional variations of Red, White & Blue that made up the uniforms for most of the last century? Remember, Baseball, the AMERICAN pastime? Now we’re “treated” to uniforms that transform Big Papi into Big Pumpkin, and Barry’s jersey is as black as his soul (even though he sold it to Balco). I seem to remember something equally as hideous last year, though I watched even less then that I have now.
Since he’s commissioner, I’ll have to blame this one on Bud as well, rather than just some local color from the “city by the gays”.
Oh, and what pimp did Joe Carter mug to get that baby blue suit?
And what’s with the two retards from McDonalds and the chicken McNugget commercial? I’m never going to buy McNuggets again. Not that I buy them now anyway. McDonalds, home of the magical $1.99 nugget. Every other burger joint has 5 nuggets for $1. McDonalds sells them 6 for $2.99, so in every pack, you get the magical nugget that’s worth $1.99 in addition to the 5 that are worth $1. From Ray Kroc to What a crock…
I have been quietly ranting (!) for years about how there’s too much design in pro sports nowadays. Every team logo looks the same, like the same person designed them all.
Then they come out with all those queer colors for the teams. If I see one more teal and black and (insert color here) uniform I’m going to throw up. I blame MTV indirectly for this. Some rapper wears some team’s gear and there’s this huge industry.
As one who was wearing sports team gear before it was cool (and I know you did too, Jeff) all this merchandising is a little tough to take. Especially because ballgame tickets are still grossly expensive even though they screw us coming and going with the expensive team gear and other overpriced accoutrement available at today’s ballpark. So Bud Selig is truly a boob. But we can’t lay this one on him, but rather on the American Idol-watching, Rush Limbaugh-listening, MTV-worshiping ninnies out there who drive the marketplace.
Oh, and GO RED SOX!!!!!!!
