Do you think the Tampa Bay Rays overreacted with a spokesman saying the team is “disappointed” after punk-pop princess Avril Lavigne unleashed a barrage of “foul language” during a game concert over the holiday weekend? After experiencing a series of dead microphones at the beginning of her Saturday night halftime show, Lavigne reacted to a chorus of boos from the audience by peppering the crowd with the dreaded “F-bomb,” reminding her audience that technical glitches happen during a live concert “at a baseball stadium.”

After the concert, Rays public address announcer Rusty Kath apologized to the crowd of 24,717 — many of them families with children — who’d shown up at the city’s Tropicana Field for the Rays’ faceoff against the Indians.

“That’s not what the Tampa Bay Rays are about,” Kath said at the time.
