The\u00a0No. 1 prospect in baseball drilled a two-run double\u00a0that helped the Red Sox claim a series win over the Rays, and he shared the spotlight with his sister, Lia, after his heroics.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Lia Anthony caught the eye of a certain demographic of fans as she watched her brother achieve his dreams at Fenway Park on Tuesday night. She elicited such headlines as &#8220;Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony sister steals spotlight at game&#8221; from TMZ and &#8220;Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony&#8217;s sister turns heads during MLB attendance&#8221; from Men&#8217;s Journal. She was even interviewed on WEEI&#8217;s &#8220;The Greg Hill Show&#8221; on June 12, which took the coverage way too far (and it had already crossed a line).<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The hosts asked Lia about the thousands of followers she gained after her brief appearance during the game and about the many DMs she received from baseball fans. They asked for her relationship status \u2014 as if that mattered to anyone who messaged her \u2014 and even asked if the Boston accent &#8220;does it for her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The suggestive questions aren&#8217;t the only problem with this interview, although they&#8217;re high on the list. Lia didn&#8217;t ask for any of this attention; she simply attended a baseball game, and it&#8217;s unfortunate that she couldn&#8217;t do so without objectification from part of the audience. As she sat with her family during a proud, wholesome moment, hundreds took to the internet with catcalls and\u00a0such disgusting comments as &#8220;#would.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_3_7\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Leave Lia Anthony alone, Boston Red Sox fans<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1933165097880301902&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fbosoxinjection.com%2Fweei-s-segment-with-roman-anthonys-sister-is-a-disgrace-to-red-sox-coverage&amp;sessionId=a7b863a44c1db177e8aeeafca2882b08a4974f19&amp;siteScreenName=bosoxinjection&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1933165097880301902\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">A woman&#8217;s existence in public isn&#8217;t justification for any commentary on her physical appearance, nor is it an invitation for harassment, online or otherwise. Platforming this behavior encourages these reactions that she didn&#8217;t ask for, and the comments tend to agree. Multiple commenters characterized the interview as &#8220;creepy,&#8221; and it&#8217;s not unreasonable to expect better from a show with significant influence in Boston.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Let&#8217;s not get it twisted \u2014 Anthony accepted the interview, but\u00a0no blame should be placed on her for the content or nature of the questions. One of the comments under the interview accused her of making her brother&#8217;s debut &#8220;all about [herself],&#8221; which is completely ridiculous for multiple reasons \u2014 but chief among them is that the attention she&#8217;s received has been entirely created by faceless accounts on the internet. A certain group of fans set the demand for this content by being unable to act normally when they see an attractive woman in public, then blaming women for doing something wrong or shameful to generate the response they get, which couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth here.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Leave Lia Anthony alone. All she did was sit by the field at a baseball game. By extension, there is no reason to ask Roman Anthony about the attention she&#8217;s received \u2014 only her reaction matters, and it&#8217;s hardly a comfortable line of questioning in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tampa Bay Rays v Boston Red Sox | Jaiden Tripi\/GettyImages On June 10, Roman Anthony collected\u00a0his first hit in a Boston Red Sox uniform\u00a0with his family in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55628,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
