MLB Umpires Are Done With The Whole Wristband Deal

After untold, um, minutes of, hmm, some of their members, uh, wearing some wristbands, the World Umpires Association today ended their nearly day-long protest of “escalating verbal attacks” and will return to their regular attire, which in some cases might still include wristbands, I think.

Those umpires that never bothered to wear the protest wristbands will presumably go right on not wearing wristbands. Those who wore wristbands but not as a sign of protest will presumably go on wearing wristbands, but not as a sign of protest.
