Alabama minor league team's 'Millennial night' has participation ribbons and people are mad
I guess someone can not take a joke. Here is the story:

An Alabama minor league baseball team's plans for a "Millennial Night," - complete with participation ribbons and napping and selfie stations - has some people fuming.

"Want free things without doing much work? Well you're in luck!" the ad from the Montgomery Biscuits reads. "Riverwalk Stadium will be Millennial friendly on Saturday, July 21st with a participation ribbon giveaway just for showing up, napping and selfie stations, along with lots of avocados."

Why would they be mad?

Unless somehow, the shoe is a tight fit?

They failed to provide safe areas to retreat to when the millennials were triggered.

My stepdaughter (23 years old and thoroughly believes in competition, and compassion, for those she [cordially] defeats) and I are laughing at that - pure genius.

The only bad publicity is your obituary.

This actually prompted me to get a team t-shirt as a show of support.

I understood everything but the avocados. Confused

Probably this.

"Marrero’s third politically-correct demand is her most bizarre: “Stop calling guacamole ‘guac.'” Her argument is that guacamole, as a word, “has significance as it comes from indigenous Nahuatl language, so please make the effort to pronounce it in its entirety.”"

Bama nailed it - it’s an avocado toast joke.

That’s awesome!

But the avacado thing is only a recent co-opting by the millennials I guess. I have been eating avacado on salad and having fresh guacamole for my entire life. Growing up where they are available year round makes you jaded I guess. Plus my grandfather had a avacado tree

They'll need a "Sweating Station" as well. Hotter than hell down here now.
