"The Red Sox fan base is rightfully annoyed. America is pissed off too. Shohei Ohtani, who does not need any more help, just got a free endorsement from the quarterback of one of the most visible franchises in American sports. Get this man a Team USA jersey next time. It is not complicated."
"While fans' grievances with Maye not wearing Boston's colors at the game may be warranted, the Mayes' support of the Dodgers is only natural given their dominance, especially when they're going to watch the best baseball player on the planet."
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye attended a World Baseball Classic match between Team Japan and Team Korea while wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey. The game featured an exciting comeback by Japan after falling behind early, with notable home runs from Shohei Ohtani and Hyeseong Kim. Maye's choice of apparel sparked backlash from Red Sox fans and sports media, who criticized him for supporting the Dodgers without clear affiliation and for inadvertently endorsing Ohtani. His wife Ann Michael partially offset this by wearing a Red Sox hat in a prior Instagram post from Kyoto. Both Team Japan and Team Korea advanced to the WBC knockout rounds, with Korea qualifying for the first time since 2009.
