MLB Bans Rookie Hazing Ritual Of Dressing Up

Major League Baseball seems to be taking a page out of the N(o)F(un)L(eague) with it's new anti-hazing policy. The new policy bans the time-honored tradition of making rookies dress up as women when they travel.  

Every year some teams make rookies dress up when the team travels with various themes like Disney Princesses. The hazing was thought to be harmless fun and a bonding experience for the players. 

MLB vice president Paul Mifsud said that having players dress as women could be considered "insensitive and potentially offensive to a number of groups." He also claimed that "a number of players have complained about it."

Under the new policy all rookie hazing is not banned and players can still be forced to dress up in outlandish costumes.
