White Sox’s Absurd Hot Dog Etiquette Rule Irks Baseball Fans: “They Got Their Priorities Backwards”

Violating etiquette is no small offense, especially regarding street food. Every place has its own set of rules, but when in Chicago, putting ketchup on hot dogs is a serious crime. Chicago vs. New York has long been a battle of regional foods, but Guaranteed Rate Field is finally putting its foot down. Behold, the Chicago White Sox have a new food rule.

The team has been trailing fourth in the AL Central after their latest loss to the struggling New York Mets. The White Sox could only make three hits the whole night after an already wild Mets victory during the series opener. Fans are irked, but their vexation increased after the new food rule.

Never Get Between a Man and His Meal, Chicago White Sox

Imagine a baseball stadium – blue skies, green fields, players on the field, crowds in the stands, and excitement. The picture would only be complete with food and drinks in the audience’s hands, munching away at their snacks of choice. Now imagine a bell sounding loud because one put the wrong condiment on their snack.

That is precisely what the new “Ketchup Bell of Shame” at Guaranteed Rate Field is all about, a bane for ketchup lovers. As hilarious as the latest addition is, some MLB fans are not pleased.

One fan disliked it so much they vowed to never visit the metropolis.

Most just want to be left in peace to enjoy their food however they wish.

While there were some supporters, most criticized their performance.

Dave Chapelle once famously said, “Never get between a man and his meal,” the White Sox are now dearly paying for it. It certainly doesn’t help that their performance has gone downhill this year. Might a trade help?

Will the White Sox Trade?

The Chicago team has been making headlines for Liam Hendriks this year, the player who survived cancer and made a glorious comeback. But one man does not make a team. The upcoming trade deadline on August 1 will have to be fully utilized if the club wants to have any hope of making improvements.

The question remains, who stays and who goes?
