The Chicago Cubs dismantled their National League Central rival St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, but the Wrigley crowd still found something to boo.
Of course, it is tradition for a guest to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch at Cubs home games – this time, it was Alex Cooper's turn.
Cooper is the host of "Call Her Daddy," the podcast that hit it big on Barstool Sports before heading to Spotify and then SiriusXM.
She's an expert on the mic, but these skills did not translate, and the crowd made it known.
Cooper did say before she began singing that the crowd had "never seen something like this before." She was right.
Cooper was joined by two others in the booth, and the crowd was not impressed. They certainly did their best to put on a show – however, it apparently missed the mark.
The social media reactions were priceless.
"What Alex Cooper did at Wrigley should be studied forever because if you get boo’ed for ANYTHING while the #Cubs are beating the Cardinals by 11 runs you definitely deserved it," one user wrote.
Another even said that it was worse than Roseanne Barr's national anthem performance.
Others weren't much kinder.
Cooper's recent deal with Sirius XM, signed in 2023, was worth $125 million. She recently made shocking headlines when she accused her former Boston University soccer coach, Nancy Feldman, of sexual harassment.
The accusations were made in a Hulu documentary, "Call Her Alex," where she claimed Feldman "fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine," including touching her leg and asking about her sex life.
The university issued a statement last month, saying it has "zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment."
"We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office," it said in a statement. "We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all."
Nearly 100 BU alumni spoke out in support of Feldman as well, saying that "never felt unsafe."
Taylor Fritz defeated No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) to advance to his first Wimbledon semifinal Tuesday, becoming the first American man to reach that stage of the grass-court Slam since John Isner in 2018.

Former boxing star Julio César Chávez defended his son on Monday following his arrest by U.S. immigration officials outside of his home in Los Angeles last week.
Julio César Chávez Jr. was accused of overstaying his visa and lying on a green card application. Additionally, he has an active warrant for his arrest in Mexico for alleged arms and drug trafficking and possible ties to the Sinaloa cartel.
The elder Chávez spoke to Mexican media about his son.
"It’s complicated, there’s a lot of talk, but we’re calm because we know my son’s innocence," he told El Heraldo newspaper. "My son will be anything you want, anything, but he is not a criminal and less everything he’s being accused of."
An investigation into the younger boxer started in 2019 after a complaint filed by the U.S. against the Sinaloa cartel for organized crime, human trafficking, arms trafficking and drug trafficking, Mexico Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero said on Sunday.
Chávez Jr.’s lawyers requested at least five injunctions in Mexico but they were all rejected because the boxer was in the U.S., Gertz Manero said.
"He knows a lot of people, we live in Culiacan, it would be impossible not to know all of the people that are doing illicit stuff, but that does not mean nothing," Chávez Sr. said. "In my time I met everybody, and they did not come after me."
He vowed that his son will fight the chargers if he his transferred to Mexico.
"Why did they let him fight? My son has been paying taxes in the United States for three years, and now in Mexico they’re accusing him of money laundering," the elder Chávez added. "Yes, he knows those people, but that doesn’t mean I’m a drug trafficker. Let’s trust the law."
