MLB Pitcher Complains After United Airlines Told His Pregnant Wife To Clean Up Popcorn Mess Made By Their Kids

Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass says a United Airlines flight attendant "made" his pregnant wife get on her hands and knees to pick up popcorn spilled by his young kids and he has a major problem with it.

In a Sunday tweetstorm, the 12-year MLB vet told the story about how his 22-week pregnant wife, Sydney, was traveling with their two children -- ages 5 and 2 -- on a United flight and ended up getting on the floor to pick up spilled popcorn.

"Are you kidding me?!?!" the middle reliever tweeted.

When pressed by a Twitter user to explain who should clean up the mess made by the two-year-old, Bass didn't mince words.

"The cleaning crew they hire!" Anthony Bass fired back.

Needless to say, Bass has been absolutely grilled over his stance.

Now, in a twist to this story, it turns out Sydney Bass' wife's sister is Jessie James Decker and Jessie would like to add some context to what happened on that flight. "The flight attendant came up to Sydney with a trash bag, and a wet wipe, telling her the captain wants Syd to clean up every drop," Decker wrote on Instagram Story.

"My poor sister is on her hands and knees, crying in the aisle completely humiliated and exhausted, with her children while everyone else watched. Way to go united," Decker continued.

OK, that's enough of building the case against United. Let's get down to business and analyze this situation.
