Fox Sports' broadcast of the New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox game on Saturday night made headlines, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

The media giant went viral over the weekend for its rather questionable choice of graphics in its “Baseball Night in America” broadcast. Going into a commercial break, the network used the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center for its visual design, superimposing the Yankees and Red Sox logos on the memorial pools.

Of course it didn't sit well with fans, who saw it as disrespectful and insensitive. A lot of people called out Fox for the major blunder, with Andrew Mason of 1o4.3 The Fan describing it as “terrible.”

“There are ideas that are merely bad, ideas that are downright terrible, and then there is what the Fox Sports graphic department came up with for Red Sox-Yankees, superimposing team logos on the site of the former Twin Towers,” Mason wrote on Twitter along with a video of the segment.

Here are some of the other reactions:

After the major backlash it caused, Fox Sports issued a statement and apologized. The media company also admitted its mistake and error in judgment in making the graphics for the Yankees-Red Sox showdown.

“During last night’s telecast, we used poor judgment on the use of a graphic,” a Fox Sports spokesman said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. “We sincerely apologize and regret the decision.”

Hopefully, though, Fox Sports has learned from the mistake. It's bizarre the edit has been approved in the first place, and viewers can only hope it won't happen again.
