  • field-baseball I seriously hope you guys don’t do this

    I love baseball, but MLB stadiums (especially newer ones, but all of them are covered in ads for ghoulish companies) feel like grotesque nexuses for some of the worst part of capital. The Rangers’ new park has Lockheed Martin ads, the Nats have Raytheon ads, the Mariners have Boeing ads, the Astros (lol 🗑️) have Haliburton ads, etc. Hell, they started putting ads on the sleeves of the players’ fucking jerseys now. The Texas Rangers, brought to you by Energy Transfer Operator™️. Remember Standing Rock and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest? I’m almost surprised none of the teams are sponsored by TigerSwan or Blackwater. The NFL might be a more overt brain damaging blood sport, but the MLB is still America’s Past Time™️ in the sheer saturation of advertising some of the worst parts of this hellhole corporate orgy disguised as a country.

    Wait, didn’t congress approve some funding for their imaginary booboos that got slapped into some continued government spending resolution that they were playing chicken with a government shutdown over? I could’ve sworn there was a “lifetime healthcare for hAvAnA sYnDrOmE victims funding added to some bullshit” headline awhile back, did they rescind that or am I misremembering?
