“All of our focus had been centered around showing sweet, happy couples at baseball games, when in reality there are a lot of sad people out there looking to end their relationships,” explained Jeremy Platt, director of entertainment. “If I can help one sad pair of people break up at a Yankee’s game, I’ve done my job. Plus, we’re having a pretty rough season so at this point we were sort of like ‘why not.’”
“Our relationship was in a rough patch, and when I saw our two sad faces on the enormous screen over Yankee Stadium I knew it was time to end things with Craig,” explained Emily Marks. “When everyone started chanting ‘Break Up! Break Up!’ that’s when I told him I couldn’t do it any more.”
Other attendees are more skeptical of the new feature. “For a second I thought we were on the kiss cam and I got excited,” explained Yankees fan Clara Thompson. “I went in to kiss him and all of a sudden he handed me the key to my apartment. I thought we were going to get engaged soon but I guess not.”
At press time, the camera was reportedly seen panning away from Alex Rodriguez hitting a homerun to focus on a crying couple throwing their wedding rings in the garbage.
