The move was quickly blasted as tasteless on social media.
Fox Sports used the Twin Towers site for a “baseball night” graphic during its broadcast of the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees game on Saturday night.
Footage showed the two 9/11 memorial reflecting pools—where the North and South Towers once stood—used as backgrounds for the Red Sox and Yankees logos, which were then connected by a “Baseball Night in America” graphic. The move quickly sparked an uproar on social media, where many questioned if the use of Ground Zero was just an accidental screw-up or a tasteless statement. Representatives for the network did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
