It’s Who We’ve Become: More

The millions of people who watched the fourth game of U.S. baseball’s World Series saw this play (below), in which a fan interfered with the play of Los Angeles Dodgers right-fielder Mookie Betts.  If you watch the clip, you may agree with me that that was closer to assault than it was to “interference.”

The fan was ejected from his seats, but for some reason wasn’t charged with a crime.

I write this post because I believe the incident illustrates something of great importance about American society: we’ve become a nation of animals.  Ask yourself if this could have possibly happened in the ~120 years of baseball before Donald Trump entered the political scene and inspired us to become the human swine we are now.
