On Saturday, June 11, “Jeopardy!” champ Amy Schneider threw out the first pitch at a San Francisco Giants game in celebration of Pride Day.
While Schneider’s pitch was seen as representing LGBTQ representation within Major League Baseball, there some who wondered why Fox Sports — which aired the game — didn’t air the pitch in its broadcast coverage.

Meanwhile, some viewers pointed out that while Fox Sports didn’t air the the pitch thrown by a trans woman, instead it aired a first pitch from NASCAR driver Kurt Busch from several days earlier.
This led to many taking to social media to criticize Fox Sports for perceived transphobia due to airing Busch’s pitch but not Schneider’s.
However, reps for Fox Sports offered an explanation, telling TMZ that first pitches are never aired as part of their game broadcasts, and that Busch’s first pitch was part of a promotional package for an upcoming NASCAR race.
“They say the reason they misled their viewers was for cross-promotion, not anything to do with me, so I’ll take them at their word,” Schneider told TMZ.

Despite the emotional demands and physicality of that time, she said her co-star returned for their later-episode scenes with the same enthusiasm he started with.“He energizes everybody by his presence, but I didn’t know what I was going to find four months later, three months down the line,” she continued.

I love Atlanta, not because it is a perfect city but because it is the site of so many struggles for freedom—no matter how Republicans may abuse that word—in the midst of a region of oppression. That is why I must oppose the project to destroy a vast swath of the city’s forest in the name of a center for the enhancement of police violence and a gentrification driving film studio. No good can come of this environmental destruction or these terrible purposes for which it is being enacted.
