I am very upset that the makers of The Simpson’s would take a historic person and moment of Baseball and make it into a joke… as a huge Lou Gehrig fan, I am extremely hurt that they would make this moment, that people who were not even alive to see still know of, and turn it into a joke. The man was dying a slow and painful death, and all you can do is make it into a cartoon?! That is truely upseting and disgusting!
I think that it is rood to take a person who sacrificed a dangerous disease and make it into a joke.He was a very nice man and its just mean to do such a thing.If you actually took the time to read about Lou Gehrig you would feel the same way!
