Today's Top Story: Fox Pulls Plug On Vulgar Sox Fans
Even during blowouts of Tampa Bay and Houston, the Fenway crowd has been resorting to ol' reliable: "Yankees Suck! Yankees Suck!"
So it's no surprise they gave their buddy A-Rod an earful after Monday's Red Sox win. The problem was all of America caught that earful, too.
Red Sox fans chanting "A-Rod Sucks!" and "F--- You A-Rod!" forced Fox to mute its own audio for a not-insignificant stretch of time, essentially silencing its own postgame show. You could, however, still hear Boston fans serenade Rodriguez with "Aff-Leck! Aff-Leck!"
