Dodgers outfielder rips MLB over Sydney Sweeney playoff ad

Actor Sydney Sweeney’s racy advertising campaigns with prediction market Novig have been one of the most polarizing topics in the media in recent weeks.

Dodgers outfielder Alex Call decided to give his opinion on social media ahead of the must-win Game 3 of the NLCS against the Brewers on Wednesday.

Call commented on a viral post parents shouldn’t have to worry about this.”

Call rightly argues that this isn’t something parents should have to worry about, as it can detract from what should be a wholesome (and PG-friendly) sports viewing experience.

Still, given that the post was posted after midnight Wednesday morning, Dodgers fans would probably prefer that the outfielder was sleeping instead of worrying about Sweeney’s Novig ads.

Then again, Call, 32, has yet to appear in a playoff game, although he is on the Dodgers’ active roster.
