Honestly, criticizing the Red Sox week after week isn’t exactly enjoyable for me. It’s pretty painful, but right now, it feels kind of unavoidable. The team seems to have reached a level of dysfunction that it’s almost comical. And I mean, it’s even bleeding into the stands in an unfortunate way.
First off, let me express my disdain for the usual cookie-cutter proposals people come up with. They annoy me to no end. Generally, I tune them out because they’re often ridiculous and, frankly, pretty dull. Seriously, no woman dreams of being proposed to in a stadium—trust me on this. If you think otherwise, you might be kidding yourself.
I’ve spent enough time with women—I’ve been married for a decade. My wife has three sisters, and I can confidently say they despise such public displays.
And, if you want evidence, just look at Fenway Park’s latest outing which was another loss—both on the scoreboard and in the realm of public proposals!
This season has been a disaster at Fenway Park.
It’s thoughtful of people to share clips, but honestly, the awkwardness of that proposal barely gets captured through the noise in the background. It just lacks humor, I’d say.
You can tell she’s visibly upset, and he looks pretty embarrassed. They have to force a kiss at the end just to save face for whatever cameras are rolling. It all feels pretty cringeworthy.
And I’m not sure what her response was; internet buzz suggests it wasn’t a resounding yes. It’s hard to say for sure, but it definitely didn’t seem like a joyful moment.
This might have been one of the most jarring scenes at Fenway this year—and considering the team’s performance, that’s saying something.
Why on earth would someone choose to propose at Fenway right now? Doesn’t he pay attention to how the team is performing? It’s kind of embarrassing, honestly.
Half the team has been let go, and let’s be real, they’re sitting at the bottom of the league standings. Players are at odds, coaches seem to forget player names. The team’s performance has been described as completely “stinky.”
If you’re in the position of planning a proposal, be aware—this isn’t an easy time. The romantic atmosphere isn’t what it used to be. Seriously, it’s not 2004 anymore.
It’s a depressing look for what’s supposed to be “America’s most beloved ballpark.”
It’s just sad.
