I never thought Bullpen would offend someone.
I don’t think the warning track is OSHA compliant. Not enough signage explaining the hazards of running into a wall.
Shortstop and Outfielder seems to be non inclusive labels as well.

This is a non-story, but also, “arm barn” is an actual improvement over “bullpen.” PETA aside, it sounds better.
At Mintuemaid: Bullpen for the Astros, Steerpen for the visitors.

Communists at work

Communism is a system in which the government owns everything and runs everything. PETA is a advocacy group that believes animals are exploited. I disagree with them mostly, but they’ve been influential in steering society towards more humane treatment of animals. Yeah, they are nuts, but it would be impossible for them to be communist. A point of view drives their advocacy, and has zero to do with economic and social theories.

No not Communist, nothing about this is “communist”. Except maybe that you don’t like it. It’s a PR stunt nothing more, nothing less. They get people talking about it because it’s asinine, maybe their members remember they’re members and kick in an extra donation. Really it’s much more capitalist than communist.

Didn’t they get you last year too. Don’t remember the word but same silliness.
Look up “ Arm Barn” in the Urban Dictionary
Might want to check on the meaning of that…. PETA is trolling
60 votes on that definition over 15 years should be a giveaway that nobody actually uses it that way.

No. No it does not. Which by the way, I’m so sick and tired of people trying to change the rules of baseball. Especially media types. If you don’t like the game, don’t cover it. If you don’t like watching the game, don’t watch. Simple.

Isn’t the ball made from some kind of animal skin? They should take exception to that for sure.
Guys, he was joking.
Yeah I kind of like it, too. (Though I’m okay with bullpen, using them alternatingly, etc)
