I fail to see why it's a big deal that they've changed the name of the list. I also don't think anyone who is disabled cared about the other name.
Everyone needs to stop trying to find things to be offended about, this is getting retarded.
This. I have no issue with this change. There are far greater and more impactful ways that they could spoil the game.

casNot really, it was a list of people unable to play. Because they're on the list, they're not able (eligible) to play. Dis-abled.

further the thinking that a disability means someone can’t play a sport.
Uh yeah. So all you guys in wheelchairs who were starting to doubt you would ever play center field for the Yankees, knock that shit off. We changed the name, so now you still have a chance.

There are so many posts that I wanted to quote and comment on. But this hit me so hard I laughed out loud. I woke up my wife (which can be difficult after 8pm
).
I'll now refer to the disabled list as the "Illinois". It just seems to fit.

why they changed it.

wingsparWhat about 3 strikes and your out? Don’t want to be confused with criminals. Maybe 4 strikes and 3 balls?

KevinCWWell, the .00001.1 percent of people with shallow enough lives to care about this will be happy...
The rest of us with all just muddle along until we eventually put it together that they changed the name.
Then we will chuckle, and still call it the "disabled list" out of habit, with absolutely zero malice, yet offending idiots everywhere.
Anyone offended by this probably couldn't hit a fastball anyway... they don't count.
