Flaky biscuits

-

In an effort to attract millennial­s to its games, a minor league baseball team in Alabama ended up insulting some of them. The Montgomery Biscuits, the Class AA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, announced an upcoming “Millennial Night.” A Twitter post said if millennial­s “want free things without doing much work,” they should go to Riverwalk Stadium on July 21. The post said that on that day, the stadium will feature a “participat­ion ribbon giveaway just for showing up” along with “napping and selfie stations.” Some on social media said the post was insulting. Others said it’s perfect for drawing the “most social media active demographi­c.” The team said anyone who was offended could feel free to visit Riverwalk “IRL [in real life].”
