Fox News reports that Saturday, June 21 is “Millennial Night” at the ballpark where the Tampa Bay Rays’ Double-A affiliate the Montgomery Biscuits are playing, and apparently, millennials aren’t appreciating the joke.
Millennials outraged after baseball team advertises 'Millennial Night' with avocados, participation ribbons and napping stations https://t.co/qFea3oYEZl
— Fox News (@FoxNews) July 21, 2018
The Tampa Bay Rays’ Double-A affiliate, currently with a record of 15-11, tweeted last week: “Want free things without doing much work? Well you’re in luck! Riverwalk Stadium will be millennial friendly on Saturday, July 21, with a participation ribbon giveaway just for showing up, napping and selfie stations, along with lots of avocados.”
…
The team itself is largely made up of millennials, none of whom, according to pitcher Benton Ross, are even remotely offended by the theme night.
After throwing the ball around with one of his teammates in the un-ignorable heat, Ross told Fox News: “If it’s insensitive, then maybe they should just have thicker skin.”

They proceeded to their nearest Starbucks , purchased a grande with the money they got from their parents. Then took to Twitter to denounce this horrible treatment. They subsequently retired to said parents basement (home) and took a nap before dinner.

Why the outrage? It's dead on. Hilarious.

Why are they upset? Their parents are paying for their game tickets, still!

The marketing manager should win a prize. An actual prize too not just a participation trophy.

By 2020 millenials will be 50% of the workforce. Break rooms across the country will be fully stocked w organic avocados, bean bags, and chill zones.
