First off it is literally impossible to answer this question without someone getting offended, but I am going to try and take an objective approach.I am not arguing for bullying because thats not what this is. Im not arguing for purposely offensive behavior because thats not even close to what this is. I am arguing for a certain sense of logic, historical truth and tolerance.I am arguing a principle of team building in a safe manner, not defending random individual acts that could be used to paint the entire process as bad, which is how most arguments are framed these days.I believe in the rite of passage, I believe its team building and I believe that it can be done in a way that is sensitive but allows that team building process to unfold.A few examples wherein we accept behavior for what it is, because it is understood the intention to be comedy.Should we ban all comedians? There is an entire profession built around the notion of being offensive. Some of our favorite and most famous figures are comedians, and we are all delighted for a five-minute skit.Children play dress-up all the time. They inevitably decide how they can look the funniest, because this is understood even in their child-like minds, and they roll around for hours laughing at each other as they change costumes so to speak. Do we cry foul when our children play dress up?Halloween is a fairly understood dress-up day. Some people take it too far, but largely it is celebrated as a fun way to have an adventure with friends, family and see creativity in action. Should we similarly ban Halloween?There are a number of venues or situations where the act of dress up is understood, and offense is not intended to be serious but an act of humor.So while many will argue the fear of political correctness, I would say that the degree of embarrassment to the individual or public falls many levels below an actual comedy show and Halloween, but worse it deprives the individual athlete of a ceremony wherein they are the center of the team for a day, and everyone largely is celebrating their accomplishment as full-fledged major leaguers. Its actually a ceremony of acceptance, and someone stupidly branded it as hazing, and thats how we have arrived here.Yes, I remember my dress-up day. I remember it fondly. I was dressed as a female of some sort. We werent making fun of people that actually dress that way, we were dressed up in uncomfortable clothes, as a contrast of macho dudes dressed in too tight fitting or too revealing clothes for our body type. Anyone looking at the exercise from a lens of humor would see the contrast for what it is and wouldnt be offended.I find it far more unfortunate that we twist truths to fit a narrative. Bullying exists, and bullying is quite terrible, inexcusable. In fact, the act of singling someone out for a difference or a weakness is disgusting to me. But to parallel these is a farce, and I see people mangle and mash up ideology as if this is MLB players thought process.Much of the time the outfit is an inside joke that might be a play on one word or instance that occurred during the season, and everyone on the team understands the symbolic nature of the outfit. But to those on the outside, they interpret it completely different.To insist that these outfits are disrespectful to anyone is maybe a stronger case than bullying but like comedy is either so clearly understood or the outfit itself doesnt even symbolize or attempt to symbolize how its being reported/ twisted to fit some narrative.Most importantly to consider, people have been dressing each other up in a humorous fashion for thousands of years, especially men dressing up other men. A few minutes on Google and there are hundreds of pertinent examples all over the world that continue to this day.Rookie Dress Up is like anything in this life. Done appropriately it is a healthy ritual. Taken too far and it becomes either offensive or dangerous. And now its out of the players hands. A part of the game that was openly and happily shared with fans in an effort to show our child-like spirit or humble ourselves in wearing something funny as a team-building moment is now gone but truthfully wont change much, and I dont really care that much.But rest assured some other ritual will rise, will be kept far more secret and hopefully its as safe and harmless as uncomfortable clothes.

Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan is confident his team can turn around their late-season slide despite their winless NRL run now stretching to a worrying third week.After storming to premiership favouritism off the back of their 15-game winning streak, the Sharks now havent won a game in almost a month after being stunned by St George Illawarra 32-18 on Saturday night.In the past three rounds, Cronulla have tied with Gold Coast, lost to Canberra and then were overrun by a Dragons side that threw caution into the wind in an epic local derby at UOW Jubilee Oval.And while they were without skipper Paul Gallen against the Dragons due to a calf strain, Flanagan refused to concede that it is time to hit the panic button.Were not playing good footy at the moment but Id put it down to the boys out at (State of) Origin, short turnarounds and were a bit busted at the moment, he said.Theres a lot of stuff there that others dont see. Gallen obviously pulled out in the warm up. Its been a long season but now we have a nine-day turnaround and were really looking forward to that.Flanagan likened the form slump to the one that saw BBrisbane lose seven games in nine weeks and slide from first to sixth on the competition table.ddddddddddddHowever, theyve since turned it around with back-to-back wins.Its similar to the Broncos. All teams go through it at different stages and were confident we can come out of it. Well turn it around for the semi finals, Flanagan said.Some things just arent working for us like they were earlier on in the year but well keep working hard. Good teams sometimes fall out of form but theyll find it again.Gallen withdrew from the Dragons game after aggravating a calf problem he has managed all season, however Flanagan is confident he would have his star back against South Sydney next week.Hes had a history of them. He had one earlier in the year, Flanagan said.He came into the sheds and was treated, and we probably couldve pushed him out there.But were not going to push him at this stage of the year. He missed three weeks last time so it was a decision the medical staff made to pull him out. ' ' '
