LAST WEEK, A STORY ABOUT SORORITY GIRLS
TAKING SELFIES WENT VIRAL.
THESE GIRLS WERE AT AN ARIZONA
DIAMONDBACKS GAME, AND THEY WERE CAUGHT ON TAPE TAKING PICTURES
OF THEMSELVES AND THEY GOT RIDICULED FOR IT.
DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE FACES WHEN YOU TAKE SELFIES?
WAIT, ONE MORE NOW.
BETTER ANGLE.
DID THAT COME OUT OKAY?
EVERY SINGLE GIRL IN THE FRAME IS DIALED INTO THEIR PHONE.
WELCOME TO PARENTING IN 2015.
THEY ARE ALL TOTALLY TRANSFIXED.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO BY ITSELF, IT DOES LOOK PRETTY BAD.
KEEP IN MIND THOUGH, WHEN YOU GO TO A BASEBALL GAME THEY
ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE PICTURES OF YOURSELF AND POST IT TO
THE TEAM'S WEBSITE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE DOING, BUT REGARDLESS,
I DID NOT LIKE THE ANNOUNCERS RIDICULING THEM LIKE THAT.
ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN YOU ARE AT A BASEBALL GAME,
YOU ARE AT A BASEBALL GAME.
I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO GO THERE, BASEBALL IS GREAT.
THE GUY WAS PROBABLY JUST FEELING HIMSELF IN THE BATTERS
BOX THEN ANYWAY, ADJUSTING HIS CROTCH AND DOING A LOT OF THIS.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A BASEBALL GAME?
NOTHING HAPPENS AT A BASEBALL
GAME.
I WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING THAT TOO.
INTERESTING LITTLE FACT, THE MLB JUST RECENTLY PASSED A
REGULATION BANNING CHEWING TOBACCO IN THE FIELD.
OKAY, WOW.
OKAY, ANYWAY.
IN THE TIME THAT WE HAVE BEEN
DISCUSSING THIS, THERE WAS A BASEBALL GAME AND NOTHING
HAPPENED IN IT.
ON TO THE SELFIES.
THE ANNOUNCERS WERE OBNOXIOUS, BUT KIND OF FUNNY.
THEY WERE FUNNY, BUT COME ON.
THESE WERE PEOPLE AT AN ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS GAME,
THEY WERE ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
IF ANYTHING, THIS IS GOING TO DETER PEOPLE FROM GOING.
THEY ARE HAVING FUN, WHO CARES?
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ARE IN CLASS DOING THIS.
THEY ARE DOING THEIR THING.
THINK ABOUT THE MEDIA FRENZY THAT FOLLOWED.
PEOPLE RIDICULING THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT THESE GIRLS IS THAT THEY USED THIS
NEGATIVE SITUATION FOR GOOD.
WE WILL GET TO THAT IN A SECOND,
BUT I FEEL LIKE CENK IS DYING TO SAY SOMETHING.
I PARDON YOU.
YOU ARE ALLOWED
TO TAKE ALL OF THE
SELFIES YOU WANT.
BASEBALL USED TO BE THE PASTIME AMERICA,
SELFIES ARE OUR NEW PASTIME.
EVERYBODY DOES IT.
OKAY, MOVING ON.
WHAT DID THEY DO IN ORDER TO TURN THIS
BAD SITUATION INTO A GOOD SITUATION?
THE SORORITY SISTERS
WERE OFFERED FREE TICKETS TO THURSDAY NIGHT'S GAME, BUT THEY DECLINED,
INSTEAD ASKING THE DIAMONDBACKS AND FOX SPORTS TO
PROVIDE TICKETS TO A FUTURE GAME FOR FAMILIES AT ëA NEW LEAF,í A
LOCAL NONPROFIT THAT HELPS SUPPORT VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE.
SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK, THAT IS ALL YOU ARE GOING
TO DO FOR THE CHARITY, GIVE THEM BASEBALL TICKETS?
NO, THEY ALSO ENCOURAGE THEM TO GIVE MONEY TO
THIS ORGANIZATION.
THEY SAID, IF EVERYONE WHO VIEWED THIS STATEMENT AT THE TIME TO MAKE A
DONATION IN RECOGNITION OF THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS,
WHICH IS ALPHA CHI OMEGA'S NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY ñ
THAT IS A HARD WORD TO SAY.
THE SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES,
THAT IS WHAT THEY DO.
MASSIVE PARTYING AND DRINKING, BUT THEY WILL ALL HAVE
ONE CHARITY THAT THEY WORK ON.
WHICH IS GREAT, I AM GLAD, IT IS
MUCH BETTER THAN NO CHARITY.
I LIKE HOW THESE GIRLS WERE SMART,
THEY FLIPPED IT AROUND.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE'RE TRYING TO DO A GOOD
THING HERE,
IF YOU GUYS STILL
WANT TO TALK ABOUT SELFIES THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM.
IT WAS NICELY PLAYED.
I'M SURE THEY WERE GRATEFUL IN THE END, IT GOT THEM
THE ATTENTION THEY WANTED IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
THEY WERE GOING TO SEND THOSE SELFIES TO THEIR
FRIENDS AND PUT THEM ON INSTAGRAM, SO THEY ARE PROBABLY
THINKING TOTAL WIN FOR GETTING ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.
A LOT
OF YOU PROBABLY AGREE WITH ME, BUT THE CREW IS VERY
PRO-BASEBALL.
SO JESUS IS THINKING OF
SHUTTING OFF MY MIC AT ANY MOMENT.
BASEBALL IS GREAT.
I HEARD THAT THAT DODGERS GUY GOT A COUPLE OF NO-HITTERS IN A
SINGLE SEASON.
CLAYTON KERSHAW.
THEY HAVE TWO GREAT PITCHERS AT THE DODGERS, LOOK AT ME.
I'M
ON TOP OF IT ALL OF A SUDDEN.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I WAS AT A
BASEBALL GAME AND I THOUGHT
