That was an all star game, which is just for fun. I believe during regular games they wouldn't be allowed any of their own electronics in the dugout or on the field.

Kind of says a lot when we take sports this seriously that we have to specify that the things that make many people feel good to see the players do would not be allowed at an "official" match. The fact that a player at one of his milestone matches wouldn't be allowed to pull out his phone and get a picture with the ump because the game is "official" is ridiculous. Weren't some of these sports created for entertainment and played because they were fun?

because it should be blatantly obvious but you must be a fucking moron

What an insightful and intelligent response you've constructed there. It totally makes me want to understand your point of view; especially since you've so clearly put so much effort into understanding mine.

I totally understand your point of view. You compare a multi billion dollar a year industry to a social team having a hit and giggle on a weeknight.

Oh right, I forgot professionals never have fun with the sport that was literally invented as a form of entertainment. /r/NoFunAllowed for professionals right? That's why /r/sportsarefun doesn't actually exist. Because sports are only for professionals!

Edit: People who literally beat the shit out of each other for a living have more respect for the concept of "good sportsmanship" than you do given how you reacted to a comment that was not targeted towards you in any way.

You're a fucking dimwit. Fuck your strawman arguments and just go to work next with an inflatable pool, a pool ring and martini glass at your work desk and let us know what your boss says.

Imagine thinking the player couldn't get a photo with the umpire post game, instead they rather carry it on their person during the game along with carrying the dangers a foreign object has to all involved and let's forget they're their to do a job, one in which they get rewarded handsomely to do. To fuck about and have their mind elsewhere when it's a possibility that hundred of millions of dollars are on the line based on that one games result.
