This has got to be one of the strangest, short-lived protests ever. The World Umpires Association banded together to wear white wristbands to protest "abusive player behavior" after Ian Kinsler, the Detroit Tigers' second baseman, was fined for verbally attacking umpire Angel Hernandez.
The World Umpires Association (WUA) proclaimed that the commissioner's office should have suspended, not just fined, Kinsler. Kinsler, on the other hand, said Hernandez "just needs to go away," according to The Los Angeles Times.
