Fox Sports apologizes after broadcasting Major League Baseball logos over the World Trade Center Memorial during the World Series.
USA Today reports
Fox Sports has issued an apology for using a New York City landmark as the backdrop for a graphic on Saturday night's "Baseball Night in America" broadcast.
Following criticism on social media for superimposing the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox logos onto the memorial pools at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center site leading into a commercial break, the network on Sunday acknowledged its mistake.
"During last night’s telecast, we used poor judgment on the use of a graphic," a Fox Sports spokesman said in a statement emailed to USA TODAY Sports. "We sincerely apologize and regret the decision."
