Dee Gordon is good people.

The Marlins second baseman did the right thing Monday afternoon by Kit Kat-shaming teammate Giancarlo Stanton on Twitter.

As a society, there are certain rules we have to live by. One of those is pretty simple: When you eat a delicious Kit Kat, you break the pieces off and then shove them in your mouth one by one.

But look at what Stanton did:

Sure, he might be the most powerful slugger in Major League Baseball, but who does that to a Kit Kat?

Stanton's actions can only be summed up by the one and only George Costanza.
