An Iowa fan hilariously protested the controversial Minnesota call behind home plate at the World Series

Some fans will hold onto a call they don’t like after the game is over, but this Iowa fan took a recent grievance to the next level during Monday night’s World Series game.

Yes, the third game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers somehow got the Iowa Hawkeyes football team involved as a disgruntled Iowa fan held a sign that read “It wasn’t a fair catch” on it behind home plate for the whole world to see.

The sign refers to the recent Iowa game against Minnesota where a last-minute punt return for a touchdown from cornerback Cooper DeJean was waived off when referees ruled that DeJean had signaled for a fair catch.

Rather than just simmer on this with his Iowa buddies on the group chat, this fan bought a ticket in one of the best seats in the house to air his lingering frustrations with how that Hawkeyes game ended.

The seat this fan paid for was reportedly going for around $1,500 on resale.

Well, this Iowa fan won’t be able to turn back time and change the outcome of that game, but they can now know that a global television audience now knows that they thought DeJean didn’t call for the fair catch.
