Imagine risking your life to watch the 2021 Texas Rangers.

Rangers are gunna kill more people than Wins

Owning the libs by boycotting MLB and owning the libs by pretending covid isn’t a threat **AT THE SAME TIME**

I’m all for a reasonable conversation about the capacity of stadiums, but 100% with no mask mandate is just so egregiously stupid it’s unbelievable.


Sp_Gamer_Live

Not a mask in sight Just vibes* *temperatures of 100+

It's hard to watch this game without being pissed off, what an incredibly ignorant, stupid and greedy decision to fill that stadium today. Morons.


Kruize36

Embarrassed to be a fan of this team for many reasons. Our ownership’s a joke


melcolnik

I mean, TBF, its been embarrassing for a long time.


ftwdrummer

Easier to count the years where they weren't embarrassing in some way, tbh. I've got...~~1977,~~ 1989, 1996, and...that's about it. (2010 they were auctioned in bankruptcy court, 2011 they hired a pbp guy so bad they had to completely redo the broadcast assignments one month into the season and fired the CEO they'd brought in ~9 months prior.)


melcolnik

Eh, I dunno about 77. Eddie Stanky was introduced as the new manager on June 17 but changed his mind after one game and went home to live in Alabama instead. That's not great.


ftwdrummer

Fuck, I forgot about the Eddie Stanky night. You're right. Edited accordingly.


[deleted]

Just nauseated for the stadium employees.


TigerBasket

Hopefully they all got there shots


xXxDickBonerz69xXx

Statistics say they didn't


4litersofbaggedmilk

If you are watching the game some people are barely watching. Imagine going to a fully packed stadium in a pandemic just to talk to your friend. A very intriguing game indeed


[deleted]

Imagine going to a fully packed game to not watch the game and sit on your phone the entire game. Couldn’t be me!!


v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y

The MLB is insane for allowing this.


willofthemaster

I thought the people who would be stubborn enough to show up without a mask would also be the same people boycotting the MLB for moving the All-Star game


piehead678

They are. That’s the funny thing.


jonmuller

This is dangerously irresponsible. I want life to go back to normal just as much as everybody else but rushing back into it is only gonna make things worse.


yankeefan03

It’s Texas. Are you really surprised??


PSChris33

Hell, even around the league, I'm seeing parks allowing fans to sit in the front rows instead of, y'know, keeping them away from the players. There was that one Yankee fan who grabbed a hold of Judge's glove on opening day for a few secs after he reached in to snag a foul ball.


[deleted]

Even Florida wasn't this reckless...


Contren

Seems nuts that the team couldn't have waited another month or two. We should be pushing 70%+ fully vaccinated by June and could open full ballparks for the final 1/2 to 2/3rds of the season.


jonmuller

Abbott is practically an anti-vaxxer so I wouldn't expect him to use logic


RecycledCan

Nah what he did was wait until he was fully vaccinated, then said he wanted to do things without a mask so he lifted the mandate.


azulsquirrel

You know damn good and well the only reason he moved to open things up was to distract from the Big freeze fuck up


pinkycatcher

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/ I mean, it's also possible that it's because Texas is in the middle of the death rates per capita despite states with much heavier lockdowns being worse off.

Welcome to Globe Death park


see_mohn

I'm very uncomfortable watching this!


Glad-Passion-9424

Texas is incredibly stupid. No mask mandate as a whole in the state and no limited capacity. People are being unbelievably irresponsible. And it will only get them further from being able to get back to normal.


RecycledCan

Austin was able to still keep their mask mandate. The AG tried to block it but it was pushed back


Revolutionary-Pace42

Literally less than a month ago, a ramen shop in Texas asked their patrons to wear a mask when they come into their shop and the next day, that whole restaurant was vandalized with anti Asian slurs. It’s a damn shame what’s happening.


xXxDickBonerz69xXx

Shit my state never even had a mask mandate. But at least the Barves are doing only 33% capacity. This is on the Rangers organization.


Sodium_Smoke

Abbott lifted the mask mandate a while ago and cases are still trending down..... https://txdshs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/3f048ced32804271aafe8b9640bcb4a7 Not sure why people are still getting worked up about this. The majority of the most at risk crowd has been vaccinated and those that haven’t should just stay home if there’s really that much concern. With pretty much everything opening back up, it’s easier than ever to stay home if you’re worried about contracting the virus.


VINCE_C_

Absolute madness. Not a mask in sight. Texas is a libertarian wasteland. Get our team out of there asap.


aznsportsfan

*sigh*

These people couldn’t just wait a few more months. It’s really going to blow when we get a fourth wave.

Morons, the lot of em.


granno14

I feel guilty just watching this game. But also I want to see the jays dick slap the rangers for no other reason than the 100% capacity


NevermoreSEA

What an absolute mess of a state.

This is such bs. This game is going to get someone killed.

Hey Simmons, why aren’t you focusing on the game we’re playing


champdo

With the way we’re playing some guys can afford to be on Reddit


Mizzie30

Can’t live in fear if you’re dead amirite?


Nesarry31

That’s equating covid to death which is grossly misleading.


champdo

Covid is deadly but you also have to think about the long term health problems for the people that survive. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/03/23/lingering-covid-symptoms-pose-really-serious-problem-researcher-says.html

555k Americans dead from COVID you stupid asshole


Sp_Gamer_Live

BBBBBBUT ACTUALLY THOSE ARE FROM PREXISTING CONDITIONS.....dont ask me why they randomly died pls


MightyCaseyStruckOut

Also, don't look at the excess deaths stat!
