ESPN SportsCenter anchorman, Keith Olbermann, sent out a tweet against MLB on Fox Sports for promoting WWE Superstar Braun Strowman.

During the September 19 St. Louis Cardinals versus Chicago Cubs baseball game, Strowman was a guest commentator with announcers, Joe Davis and John Smoltz.

As seen below, Strowman’s promoting SmackDown’s move to the FOX network on October 4.

Moreover, Strowman is also seen talking about his father being a former softball player on the Louisville Sluggers advisory board.

On the other hand, Olbermann reacts with a sarcastic tweet, expressing his disapproval with Strowman and the WWE.

Nevertheless, Strowman responds to Olbermann in a similar fashion.

As a result, Strowman’s MLB appearance instigated more criticism from various reporters and journalists on Twitter.

WWE is generally known for receiving criticism concerning its nature as a legitimate sport or not.

Therefore, this general disapproval of MLB’s promotion of the WWE through Strowman is no different.

Consequently, multiple WWE staff members responded to Olbermann’s comment, including color commentator, Corey Graves.

Similarly, 2018 WWE Hall of Famer, Mark Henry, formally chastised Olbermann’s comment with Bully Ray’s support.

 

Lastly, we can only wonder if the criticism will continue once SmackDown Live聽begins airing on FOX.

In short, Please give me your thoughts and comment below!
