That's some of it, but the "crybully" phenomenon is also a big part of it. As long as claiming to be a victim is a powerful indirect way of attacking someone, we'll have to deal with people maximizing every minor perceived insult.
Marte's mother, Elpidia Valdez, died in a car accident in the Dominican Republic in 2017.
That's almost 10 yrs ago! I thought she had just died or something- which doesn't justify the ban but explains why he might let some rando upset him. Ban Marte for being a pussy instead.
I think it is known. They just don't tell you. Just like when someone says something they don't like, it is a "racist comment", and they don't tell you what it was.
And really, taunting someone about his dead mother is not really valuable free speech. I'd eject someone from private premises for that as well.
I think ranking the value of speech as a predicate to using it, is a dangerous practice. And it's not just he was booted from that game. He's banned from every ballpark permanently. It seems excessive for being uncouth.
Sure it's crude. I wouldn't do it. But are we so soft that a comment that isn't even known gets you banned from every ballpark?
Everyone stopped growing up and left their big boy pants at home.
Sticks and stones used to be a common phrase you'd hear around.

But was it at least funny?
I bet it was hilarious. This angers the leftist mind more.
Bitch moment.

I saw that. Yes, it’s rude and shows a lack of compassion but fans say nasty stuff every game. Why this is some major story is beyond me
There's been a few stories of fan interactions this year. There must be some kind of push to tamp down fan language or something.
