Snowflakes triggered by scoreboard change seriously look like they couldn’t bat for shit

DAN SCHMIDT

The iconic Adelaide Oval scoreboard has been updated as the Strikers are set to host the WBBL final this weekend.

However, it seems the minor change of the word “Batsmen” to “Batting” has triggered many fragile male snowflakes on Facebook and other social media platforms, all of which seriously look like they couldn’t bat for shit. Honestly, you can just tell these blokes would be crap at any sport just by their profile pictures.

One man, who has stated “more woke bs” on Facebook, seriously looks like he would do that thing where they hold the bat with their dominant hand at the top.

Another ‘man’ who reckons people are too easily offended these days has become outraged at the change of four letters definitely would claim you “Can’t get out first ball”, before instantly getting out the very next ball and taking his bat and sulking all the way home.

Whilst the iconic Adelaide Oval scoreboard may have changed, it is clear one thing hasn’t. Inferior men thinking they’d be able to take on elite female athletes, despite a severe lack of coordination and bowling skills similar to John Howard.
