Corporate America deals with the challenge of dealing with millennial attitudes every day these days. Surprised we don’t read more about that as it relates to professional sports.

 

I don't think young professional athletes carry your stereotypical millennial attitudes. These are guys who have been at the top of their sport their whole lives, always have been in control, I think they see things differently then a young twentysomething first breaking in to corporate America. It's also a very different setting, if a player can play when he's young, he's gonna be successful.

Excellent point. On the flip side--these are the guys who have been on top of their sport for their whole lives so their sense of entitlement is sky high. Entitled to AB's, innings, high leverage situations, status, anything typically earned really. Kinda off the baseball topic, but remember when we all thought corporate America would serve as a great wake up call for the millennials? Sounding more and more like corporate America is going to end up bending/breaking to accommodate them instead...sigh...

This makes them the super millennials.

 

Some corporations do I'm sure. But the sports world has to. They need the production on a very visible level.

Not to play grammar nazi, but what a terribly written sentence.

 

And just out of curiosity, what does this sentence even mean?

wasn't AJ pretty much hated by most in mlb?

Nope, just those self-entitled millenials like Michael Barrett.

Blame millennials because it's millennials fault.

Blame millennials because it's millennials fault.

 

And not old people for creating the mess in the first place...

Pretty much everyone.

I think Jerry Reinsdorf is to blame for any and all millennial issues.

Don't forget KW. But it's mostly JR because he is too loyal.

And not old people for creating the mess in the first place...

Yes. Because no one else will take responsibility.

And not old people for creating the mess in the first place...

I can't wait until I can start blaming the next generation for all sorts of things and stuff!

It's a rite of passage.

It means he's old.

Interesting take, given ptatc’s also interesting take on how he thought the young players of today would react to AJ’s potential style of managing. Who knows? Millennial attitudes do register as a risk to corporate America today. Whether they do in the sports world remains to be seen.

That is hysterical. I would have loved to have known what the ump was thinking when he reached to get a new ball.
