Down With Face Painters

Note to ABC, CBS, FOX and ESPN: Please stop highlighting the bottom of the barrel in our society during your sports broadcasts. I am, of course, referring to the face painters in the crowd. If your producers would stop focusing in on the few dipshits in the crowd that take it upon themselves to apply paint to their faces, then this ridiculous practice would come to an end. It is an endless cycle passed down from generation to generation of face painters.

I didn't watch much of the World Series, but the amount I did watch was dominated by Astro fans in full face paint cheering for their team. Why? Because, it will get them on TV. Stop encouraging them and they'll eventually go away. Sports leagues have a policy of not showing people who make their way onto the field, let's include face painters into this policy and the world will be a much better place.
