What's with the unprofessionalism in MLB?

Question

In an otherwise non-contact sport, Major League baseball players sure find a way to get all offended with each other so they can cause a brawl on the field.

And what's with the chewing tobacco? Hey professional baseball player who has young fans, you may not want to look like a dumb slob as you are spitting your chew while the camera in on you. Don't you have anything better to do?

And then these people have multi-million dollar contracts and then they don't even perform they way they should.

Answer 1

yeah.. although business is business i still don't like how players get/ask for a LOT of money and don't do that well.. or just do average.

i sure do hope that some of that money goes to charity ^^

p.s. not that many players chew tobacco, they're still good role models ya know..

brawls happen in sports all the time!

Answer 2

baseball players have chewed tobacco since the game started ;-)

i bet you are one of those people that were offended that the celtic players smoked cigars after they won this year and during their parade

Answer 3

.... its not tobcoo . its gum... as well...  i hvent seen any brawls

so i have no clue what you complaing

Answer 4

this is nothing new. You should have seen Lenny Dykstra when he played. One opposing player said that playing in the same outfield as Dykstra was like being in a toxic waste dump with all the tobacco juice out there.

Answer 5

5 reasons to love baseball:

not a pu$$y sport as people say it is

Answer 6

When the stakes are as high as they are in pro sports, and the level of competition is as high as it is, its easy to lose your head. Especially in the summer heat. Players are extremely competitive and extremley supportive of thier teammates so a fastball high and inside might look like a shot at the whole team to players, and theyre not going to just sit back and take it.

And the tobacco issue, thats hardly relevant at all. A small percentage of pro baseball players dip, most of them have gum or sunflower seeds.

And that multi-million dollar contract c**p you brought up was the dumbest point you made in your whole rant. It basically sounds like youre saying that all players with high salaries are overrated, which is completely untrue. Who are you to judge if a person deserves their salary? They work extremely hard (except Manny Ramirez) at what they do. Playing a 162 game season plus playoffs at the highest possible level isnt very easy.

Answer 7

Most players do not chew tabacco. It's either gum or sun flower seeds. Sometimes ball players just get frustrated and let a fastball tail inside. It is a part of the game and you really shouldn't rant about it. No matter what you think of it, it won't change so you either have to put up with it or stop watching the game.

Answer 8

you are ignorant

have no idea what youre taking about

chewing tobacco was banned years ago- they chew gum, and we all know how unproffesional it is to chew gum
