Alex Cooper booed by Cubs fans after seventh-inning stretch performance
At least the Cubs were up 11-0 against the Cardinals when Alex Cooper got on the mic during Sunday’s game in Chicago.
The “Call Her Daddy” podcast host was mercilessly booed when it was time to lead the crowd in singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field.

“You’ve never seen something like this before,” Cooper said before she belted out the lyrics in overly dramatic fashion.
The boos only got louder as she continued her rendition of the classic baseball tune.
Cooper, who couldn’t contain her laughter, was lifted in the air by her two friends and backup dancers at the end of the performance.
Some said they were disappointed the Cubs and ESPN gave Cooper airtime.
Others described the moment as “cringey” and “brutal” to watch as Cooper’s cameo was aired on the Jumbotron.
Barstool Sports, Cooper’s former employer, posted the booing video on its social media.
The Cubs maintained their 11-0 lead for the win.
Cooper’s appearance at the game was all part of her “Big Al’s Takeover” with the Cubs.
With the special ticket offer, fans received an exclusive, limited-edition souvenir jersey, which Cooper wore during the seventh-inning stretch Sunday.
The day prior, Cooper threw a massive party with her Unwell company at Recess bar, where Dillon Francis DJ’d.
Another viral moment came out of Wrigley Field this weekend when star New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara threw out the first pitch before Saturday’s Cubs-Cardinals game.
After a botched first attempt — Kamara threw the ball in the dirt and nearly outside the left batter’s box — the five-time Pro Bowler redeemed himself on his second try.
Cooper’s takeover at Wrigley Field comes nearly one month after the premiere of her Hulu docuseries “Call Her Alex.”
In the two-part program, Cooper alleged she was sexually harassed by Boston University soccer coach Nancy Feldman as a member of the team in college.
It was reported in June that Boston University said it would hire an external law group to look into the university’s athletics department’s policies in the wake of the claims.
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
