A Red Sox game in Kansas City included a light-hearted fantasy football punishment shown by TV cameras. A fan in the upper deck displayed a bright sign with letters spelling “I stink at fantasy football.” Commentators reacted with jokes as the broadcast cut to the fan seated alone. The punishment was framed as a cheeky consequence for finishing last in fantasy leagues, continuing a tradition of humorous penalties such as tattoos and other public displays. The Red Sox beat the Royals 7-1 on Tuesday, with another game scheduled for 7:40 p.m. in Kansas City. Additional sports events listed include Legacy FC vs. Seattle Reign on Friday and Revolution vs. Charlotte FC on Saturday.
"One fan, seated in the upper deck of Kauffman Stadium, was shown displaying a combined series of letters that spelled out: “I stink at fantasy football.”"
"“Fantastic,” quipped NESN color commentator Lou Merloni as the broadcast cut to the unfortunate (but admirable) fan, seated all by himself. “They told him, ‘You’ve got to wear something bright,’ and that’s the sign,” joked Dave O’Brien."
"“They’re not even allowing him to have a beverage,” Merloni noted. The unexpected discovery by TV cameras drew an appropriate amount of laughter from the Boston commentators."
"The Red Sox defeated the Royals 7-1 on Tuesday. The two teams play again today in Kansas City at 7:40 p.m. On Friday, Legacy FC host the Seattle Reign at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket at 8 p.m. And on Saturday, the Revolution travel to play Charlotte FC at 7:30 p.m."
