Mike Krukow blasts Major League Baseball for new rookie hazing rules

Major League Baseball is cracking down on hazing.

The league created an Anti-Hazing and Anti-Bullying Policy as part of the sport's new labor deal, set to be ratified by both sides Tuesday, and the players' union agreed not to contest it, according to the Associated Press.

The policy prohibits "requiring, coercing or encouraging" players from "dressing up as women or wearing costumes that may be offensive to individuals based on their race, sex, nationality, age, sexual orientation, gender identify or other characteristic."

"I think it's ridiculous," Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow said Tuesday morning on KNBR 680.
