Joc Pederson has been trying to grow a mustache. It’s hard to tell, because Joc Pederson is blonde, but the mustache is there. There are hairs on that man’s lip:
On Tuesday, it came under fire from the media, which clearly has an anti-Joc Pederson’s mustache bias:
Coincidentally, I didn’t get around to shaving for the last two weeks. Just didn’t happen. Sometimes you forget to eat lunch until 4:00. Sometimes you forget to shave. This mishap—if one can call it a mishap—ended up being fortunate. Because last night, when I finally did shave, I was able to leave the mustache alone, in solidarity with the Cubs’ outfielder.
Initially, I was going to title this post, In Solidarity with Joc Pederson, I Now Also Have a Terrible Mustache, but I’ve been told by mustache expert (and possibly a movie character sent to bring me joy?) Andrew Chafin that I need to own this thing:
So, uh, sorry, critics. I’m rocking this now. I, like Joc Pederson, am a mustache man, and if you want to criticize one of us, you have to go through both of us.
your mustache sucks
