Hatred of the World Series
The World Series received a wave of hatred, as well.
Numerous fans were furious that a Major League Baseball took over TV for the night, as they'd much rather be watching Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) take on an investigation.
I don't care about the dam ball game. I want to see SVU.

As one might expect, fans did not appreciate the network poking fun at their irritation. They filled the replies of the tweet with angry remarks.
I don’t enjoy it when my tv says it should be a new episode ?

I do, on the weekends when I’m hungover binging a marathon for the millionth time. Not on Wednesdays. #SVU
