But having both teams in baby blue caps so Michael Milken can give a speech? Just no.

And the tone-deafness of some of their stunts is just unbelievable:

What, Ontario's not in the lower 48 states?

I don't mind Michael Milken so much, and for all I care they can dress up as a flag for high holidays. The annual Mother's Day pink scam is pretty breathtaking, but what I really hate are the absolutely ghastly, nonsensical City Connect uniforms shoved down everybody's throat, the abysmal all-white wound dressings teams wore a few years ago for the Players Weekend brainfart, and each time in the World Series, in Game 2 if I'm not mistaken, the gross Stand Up 2 Cancer stunt, that helps nothing, heals nobody, at best ruins everybody's mood, and I very much like Bill Burr's take on it (from 0:57).

I agree with Bill Burr a lot on many things.
