At around 2am this morning, the Detroit Tigers changed their Facebook photo to the following ……
Yes, just hours after their payroll-disadvantaged division rival clinched a berth in the World Series — sweeping a team in four games that broomed the Tigers in three — someone in the team’s social media department thought it would be a capital idea to trumpet the fact that the Tigers have won the AL Central four years in a row.
Uh, TONE DEAF MUCH?!??!?!??!?!?!
Yeah, let’s highlight the fact that we have NEVER gotten it done while our red-headed stepchild cohort in the AL Central is on the verge of fucking the high school prom queen with whom we could never get past second base.
And did I mention that the Tigers drive around campus in a Porsche 911 while the Royals trudge around in a Chevy Nova?
The only thing worse than some inept moron changing the Tigers Facebook photo to this atrocity is the nearly 4,000 people who’ve either “Liked” or “Shared” this fucking hot garbage already!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??!??!?!?
(Update: The imbecile in question is some shitbag named Mac Slavin. He runs the Tigers’ social media accounts. NICE NAME. You can contact him @MacSlavin on Twitter.)
I just checked the Anti-Defamation League’s Facebook page, and guess what? Their cover photo isn’t a picture of Krakow.
Oh, and the purple border that surrounds this embarrassment? I guess that is some anti-bullying campaign.
Well, I blew right by that fucking stop sign.
Please die.
Update: Let’s look at an example of how the VAST majority of MLB teams are honoring “Spirit Day” as part of the league-wide effort:
At the conclusion of the 2014 World Series, it is possible that the San Francisco Giants will have won 3 of the last 5 world titles. There isn’t any reference to past CHAMPIONSHIPS within the above image. In fact, the only MLB teams to reference any past or current glories in profile pictures on Facebook today are the Kansas City Royals – commemorating their 2014 AL Pennant — and the Detroit Tigers. What a disgrace.
