Los Angeles Dodgers player Alex Call expressed his dissatisfaction with explicit commercials that, in his opinion, hinder his ability to share his love of baseball with his son. In a post on X on October 14, he wrote: «Can we please get the ads with half-naked women off the playoff broadcasts? My son wants to watch baseball with his dad, but how can I justify that when a half-naked woman might come on screen? This is an American tradition. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about this».
Alex and his wife Samantha are raising their son, born in 2023 and whose name has not been disclosed, as well as their nine-month-old daughter Reverie. Call reacted to a post discussing whether Major League Baseball is interested in attracting more children to the sport.
Utah entrepreneur Taylor Murphy, who also commented on this topic, noted that the commercials shown during the playoffs do not contribute to this goal. He cited examples of explicit commercials that he believes are inappropriate for family viewing. His post went viral, garnering over 31,000 likes.
Sydney Sweeney’s advertising campaign for the sports app NOVIG has drawn particular criticism. The ads featuring the actress, in which she is depicted in revealing outfits, have been airing throughout the 2026 playoffs. Sharon Stone, who starred with Sweeney in the HBO series «Euphoria», - urged the young star to «take responsibility for her actions».
Alex Call played 88 games as a backup outfielder for the Dodgers in the 2026 season and has not yet participated in the postseason. In May, he shared family photos in honor of Mother’s Day, highlighting the importance of his wife in their lives.
The Dodgers will attempt to avoid defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the National League Championship, which will take place on October 15 in Los Angeles.
