Alex Cooper Booed During Wrigley Field Promotion

On July 6, Alex Cooper, host of the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, was loudly booed by Chicago Cubs fans during an intentionally dramatic, off-key performance of 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' at Wrigley Field’s seventh-inning stretch, as part of the team's 'Big Al’s Takeover' promotion. Wearing a Cubs jersey and joined by two backup dancers, Cooper's act was widely criticized both in the stadium and online as 'cringe,' 'embarrassing,' and disrespectful to tradition. Despite the backlash, Cooper laughed off the crowd's reaction and continued participating in promotional activities for her Unwell brand throughout the weekend. The incident reignited debate over celebrity performances at sporting events, with many fans calling for more traditional choices and referencing other infamous renditions at Wrigley. Cooper's viral moment underscored a disconnect between her entertainment style and baseball fans’ expectations. The Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 11-0, providing a positive result for most fans present.
