Why Is Peter Seidler’s Team Receiving Hatred?
Recently his team, the San Diego Padres, has been in the news. But it is for all the wrong reasons. In the last Padres versus Giants game, disappointment ran both ways. On Monday against the San Francisco Giants, the Padres lost by 0-1. Adding to that, the behavior of some Padres fans has caused chaos and disgust on the field. The fans expressed their disappointment in the team quite loudly. They did not stop at just booing but proceeded to throw things toward the players. Soon the entire event turned into a violent wreck. After the match, MLB Twitter expressed their disgust. What happened in the match?
The whole team of the San Diego Padres was under a lot of pressure since they had lost all of the previous four matches. This match strengthened their losing streak even more. To make it worse, the fans’ actions made the situation more uncomfortable. One of the fans wearing a Padres jersey allegedly kicked a man down the stairs, who thereafter managed to drag the fan as revenge. The situation got so tense that security guards had to take control. However, it is to be remembered that fans don’t define a team’s sportsmanship.
A similar incident happened at another game with the San Francisco Giants fans. Back then, Jurickson Profar tagged them as “the worst [fans] in the league.” Now the Giants fans are bringing it back to call out the Padres fans. This has brought the whole argument on the internet from the field. Many fans took to Twitter to express their frustration after the game. Words like “Garbage franchise”, “awful fanbase”, and “disgusting fans” are floating all around Twitter. This is not the first time such an incident has happened. Sportsmanship should be maintained by players as well as the fans, and such actions should be condemned. Hopefully, this is a lesson, so there will be no such inconveniences next time.
