I don’t approve

This scene took place in the Atlanta Braves dugout.

It is so creepy, and frankly, gay looking, that people started spreading a rumor that Acuna’s mother died during the game.

And?

So even if that happened, (and it didn’t- it was a made up rumor) this is acceptable behavior amongst grown men when a mother dies?

Why doesn’t he diaper and powder him and burp him, maybe breast feed him?

Leave it to Yahoo sports to find a nutball who says it’s important for kids to see something like this to show them that it’s okay.

Okay to what? What is it that’s going on here?

  1. Uhhh … that’s just … I don’t know … the antithesis of “manly?”

    Sort of Obama-ish?

    Dude needs a pacifier … y’know … a long, cylindrical one …

    izlamo delenda est …

  2. I’m a Washington Nationals Fan (started because I hate the O’s but we also had Hagersxtown Suns season tickets for 5 years so I know most of the ballplayers) and I’ve noticed a lot of hugging seemingly instituted by the new manager (who is still a ? mark to me).

    Has baseball gone gay? Fist bumps/high fives/back slapping is one thing but this constant barrage of hugging is troubling.

    Is this a hispanic male thing? I’m not familiar enough with the culture to know. And Hispanic/Latin players are becoming more dominant (I’m not saying that as a bad thing).

  3. When Mr. Illustr8r played hockey after the game ended the teams would line up and pass each other, hit their gloves together or shake hands and say, โ€œgood gameโ€ and that was that. Off to the locker room.

    Now, โ€œno good gameโ€ happens between opposing teams. Instead, you hug it out with your own team on the ice. They form a line too and then clink helmets, hug and say sweet nothings to each other. The new coach of the WHL team we follow instituted these new after the game โ€œteam buildingโ€ moves. Mr Illustr8rโ€™s reaction was to be weirded out by it and to say, โ€œWTH is THAT?!?โ€

    Thereโ€™s no hugging in hockey.

  4. I played and coached baseball and never saw anything like that at any age level.
    The 3rd gen fems won’t be satisfied until all men have boobs, man-buns, cry at the drop of a hat, and get cranky once a month. Russian and Chinese Specfors are laughing their asses off.
    I’m depressed and will now ask Mr. Beam what he thinks.

  5. Something like that might happen around here during a T-ball game between child and mom if the child was fatherless. If the child has a father, no way would child allow comforting unless there was blood.
