Rob Manfred gave every MLB player the lamest gift and fans crushed him for it

Rob Manfred, one of the worst commissioners in all of sports, apparently loves being the butt of all the jokes because he just keeps putting himself in situations where he’s obviously going to be made fun of by MLB fans.

Well, he’s done it again! I know, I know, this is stunning news. Baseball’s boss, who, again, is very bad at his job, gave a gift to every MLB player as sort of an olive branch in his attempt to repair his relationship with the players after all the awful things he and the owners tried to get away with in the latest lockout.

So what was this gift?

Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

For real!

I can’t stop laughing.

Twitter had all sorts of jokes.
