This time, the trolls targeted the owner of the franchise, Mr. Bob Nutting. And being a gentleman, he had to deal with it in the most subtle way possible.
Fan pulled a troll at the last moment with Bob Nutting
The Bucs are one of the oldest teams in Major League Baseball, and since then, they’ve won 5 world series. Their last world series win was in 1979. In 2007, billionaire Robert Nutting bought the Pirates, and from that time, the Pirates had 12 losing seasons, and this season does not look like making any difference either.
One of the fans thought it would be best to show his dissatisfaction directly to the owner. He got a chance to get a picture clicked with Nutting. Moments before the picture was about to get clicked, he adjusted his jersey to reveal a t-shirt?saying,?“Sell the Team.”

It was his way of telling Bob what was the right thing to do now. It is probably also the wish of almost every Bucs fan out there.
However, all while maintaining a smile on his face, Bob did not let the trolling affect him.?
Has Bob tried to sell?
In 2021, a piece of news came up which?said?Nutting was selling three of his Pennsylvania resorts. With it, hope in the fans also arose if he might be selling the team. But that hope remained a hope.?
