Logan Paul and KSI are undoubtedly among the two most famous entertainers in the world, whether in the ring or on YouTube. Most recently, the two made it to the headlines in LA, after signing with the Dodgers as their official drink sponsor shortly before opening day.
Consequently, Logan Paul and KSI arrived at the iconic Dodger Stadium to throw the ceremonial first pitch. And soon after the pair seemingly failed, the Dodgers fans inside the stadium and back home were quick to react and express their discontent.
On or off the field, KSI and Logan Paul’s new partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers doesn’t get a warm welcome

KSI and Logan Paul’s new energy drink dubbed Prime recently signed with the Dodgers as their official sponsor. But as soon as the two YouTubers arrived at the ground, they were met with loud chants of boos that quickly overpowered any potential cheer in their direction.

Figurately, there could be an infinite number of reasons for the boos, which could be aging back to their hostile and controversial language on the internet. But these chants only multiplied after the two threw out the first pitch – which were both disappointing, to say the least.
In little to no time, their poor first pitch started doing rounds on the internet, and immediately found excessive fan disappointment and hate.
However, fans’ disappointment wasn’t simply limited to the two boxers. They also expressed dismay toward the Dodgers’ decision-making, which signed with a brand without considering its eventual reception within the fanbase.
As a result, both on and off the field, this is how fans reacted:
I blame them for the loss tonight. Plain and simple
