Beating dead horsemeat
I'm not sure if baseball is really f_w material, but I've seen pro wrestling stuff here before, and this is exceptionally strange and wanky.

Clutch Hits is a baseball weblog. Someone posted a link to this bizarre story about a baseball player hitting a mascot in a sausage costume.

There's a bit of argument in the comments over whether this was funny or reprehensible, but the wank really starts when someone posts the following:

He HIT A TEENAGE GIRL WITH A BAT. It doesn't matter how "hard" he swung the thing. Doesn't matter where he hit her. Doesn't matter how badly she was hurt. A GROWN MAN HIT A TEENAGE GIRL WITH A BAT.

Baseball should suspend him for a very long time. The players' union should turn their back when asked to appeal.


Wank ensues as people point out that hitting non-teenage non-girls isn't any more acceptable.

300+ posts, and it's still going on.
