MLB pitcher thinks airline flight attendants are his wife’s personal servants
Christopher Tremoglie
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass caused quite the uproar on Twitter over the weekend when he expressed outrage over an airline allegedly making his wife clean up the mess left by his children. It was a shocking display of arrogance and entitlement, indicative of everything wrong with humanity today.
It’s a repeated attitude by many in professional sports that is enough to turn people off from watching them.
‘ENTITLEMENT SOCIETY’ COMMENT FUELS SANDERS-MANCHIN SPARRING OVER RECONCILIATION BILL
“The flight attendant @united just made my 22 week pregnant wife traveling with a 5 year old and 2 year old get on her hands and knees to pick up the popcorn mess by my youngest daughter,” Bass tweeted. “Are you kidding me?!?!
How dare parents be expected to parent their children and be responsible for any mess they may cause? The horror!
At first, I legitimately thought Bass was joking around and playfully pointing out how his children were messy kids on a flight. That would have been an endearing tweet. But Bass was very serious about his outrage. Fortunately, many on social media called the millionaire athlete out for his tone-deaf and out-of-touch with all reality privilege and entitlement.
Jessie James Decker, Bass’s wife’s sister, a country singer and social media influencer, chimed in by apparently making a social media post commenting on the incident.
“My poor sister is on her hands and knees, crying in the aisle, completely humiliated and exhausted, with her children while everyone else watched,” Decker said. “Way to go, United.”
I’m sorry, but have these people lost their minds? Crying in the aisle? Humiliated? Because a mother was asked to clean up after her kids? Such a tragedy! How do these people survive the trials and tribulations of everyday life with such fragile egos?
A small violin plays in the background as they endure through such difficult times.
Anthony Bass, his wife, and Jessie James Decker are an embarrassment and should all be ashamed of themselves. Asking a mother to clean up the mess of her children is really nothing to be outraged about. Most mothers automatically do it without having to be asked. Unfortunately, young children can be messy in public places. That’s part of the “joy” of parenthood — cleaning up your kids’ messes. Don’t like it? Teach your children not to be slobs when they eat or remove the food when you notice things are getting out of hand.

Next, no one should expect flight attendants to be responsible for the messes young children make. They’re not servants. This wasn’t an example of harsh treatment by an airline. It was a millionaire adult whining that airline employees held his wife accountable for her young children’s actions and demanding she is a respectable adult capable of being a responsible parent.
Anthony Bass and his wife are not victims. They are what’s wrong with people today.
