Thanks for sharing .. I despise Lahren. Took me a lot to even watch that video. But points were made.

I don't agree with Bass putting this out there on social media, there were more private means and then if United didn't do anything I could see social media being more the route to go.

That being said I would be pretty angry if I'm Bass in this situation and had a pregnant wife be asked to do that. Now there are sides to every story, which I hate how this has been portrayed. But the simplicity of defending your pregnant wife is one I agree with, particularly having manage a toddler and another child on a flight.

Imagine thinking it's a flex when Mrs. JPA agrees with you

Most women are working at 5 months pregnant.

Per TSN, Sherzer has changed his mind and is not appealing. While he was upset in the heat of the moment, someone probably warned him that he was admitting guilt in his press conferences.

Also, we should be on rosin watch for the Yankees. They have a few guys who abuse it.

Um ok… that doesn’t mean that they aren’t adversely affect by the pregnancy in some way. There is a huge variance of issues that women can deal with in a pregnancy.

Lahren mentions Bass’ wife is a high risk pregnancy. That can mean a whole lot of potential complications to the mother and baby.

We do not know those details, not should it matter. But as a husband who has seen his wife go though this multiple times and have seen good friends go through other complications, I can completely understand by Bass was enraged and took to social media.

This doesn’t mean that his wife was entirely in the right here though. She could be entitled and using the pregnancy as an excuse. We just don’t know. But I’m not trying justify her actions.

I believe that the issue here is that it isn't United's policy to make passengers clean up the plane.

In fact, the flight attendant approaching the family to ask them to clean up is a direct violation of United's cleaning policy (reducing unnecessary interaction).

The reason I bring it up is because she was picking a few pieces of popcorn up off the floor. That's the effort level being talked about.

My wife was told not to bend over at 5 months pregnant.

I am actually inclined to agree with Bass and his wife's side as well, especially the idea of coming to his wife's defense. However I also don't believe voicing it to now hundreds of thousands of people was required. I'm sure they could have had direct discussions with United and resolved this issue between them. It's a first world problem and a shred of common sense would have someone believe that there is potential for a tremendous amount of trolling and criticism if brought to social media.

When it comes to high risk pregnancies, the follow up question(s) would be why is she flying? How was she cleared to fly? Perhaps an additional family member could have joined for support.

I actually was looking at United's policies and they actually RECOMMEND bringing food for kids (though they provided the popcorn in question).

I agree that this was an incredibly stupid way to deal with this and that the whole post suggests poor parenting (for someone who can easily afford to pay someone to assist his wife, he CHOSE not to)

Do high risk pregnancy mom's have to pick up things off the floor at work if something gets spilled? No. Why? Most often, they are at home and not working..

Does everyone who is jumping on this clean up everywhere they are every single time when they leave? When a person goes to a sporting event for example, do they clean the floor spotless under their seat every time after spilling or throwing their box of popcorn?

All I see are hypocritical takes by people who have no idea how hard a high risk pregnancy is, but love to formulate an opinion on something they know absolutely nothing about.

We all know nothing about the situation and what led up to it because we weren't there, so having ANY opinion is being formed off second hand knowledge at best.

I haven't followed this story much because it sounds like everyone involved is kind of an asshole here, but I'll call absolute bullshit on Bass's claim that the flight attendant made his wife get on her hands and knees and clean it up. Maybe she asked her to do it, and maybe she was even a bit too pushy about it or something... I don't know. But made her? Bullshit.

Also, the idea that he thinks she should be fired for it is hilarious coming from a guy in a profession where he gets paid millions of dollars a year no matter how many bad days he has or mistakes he makes.

Its exactly this, theyre probably in the right, but if you're pissed about it go to the company directly. Why people bring this kind of shit to social media always baffles me because it's such a first world problem that you should honestly just get over it. Your kids spilled popcorn and your pregnant wife was asked to clean it up. Why you're asking people on social media to care makes no sense to me. Either end it at the bad experience, or go to the company directly. I just had an awful experience with a flight attendant a few months back, and I don't remember thinking once about how I should post about it. I did think about going to the company, but meh. It's not like she did something to make me think she shouldn't be on a plane, she was just an asshole. All Bass' posting has done for a person like me is think he's a good guy for protecting his wife, and a little bitch for the way he went about it. Not to mention he lost all my respect for using Lahren as a voice, so gross.

Are the Cubs and Pirates actually decent?!?

Cubs have a pretty fun lineup and Bellinger doesn't look like a potato at the plate

Vladdy's comments kinda reminds me how Ken Griffey Jr had a personal careerlong vendetta against the Yankees because they wouldn't let him hang out in the dugout with his dad despite having another player's kid taking groundballs on the field. Senior didn't have much love for them after that either.

He proceeded to haunt that team for the majority of his stay in Seattle. Big one obviously being the 1995 LDS.

Not gonna beat this horse because it's personal for some in this thread. But my opinion is based on a) Bass wishing for the public to form an opinion, so I did b) a presumably responsible parent acting as guardian to multiple dependents on a flight with all the responsibilities associated - likely being in at least moderate condition to perform such responsibilities in a emergency etc.

Here's hoping he's the nightmare matchup for the Bronx bombers for a decade and a half!
