New York Yankees President Randy Levine, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, has drawn criticism from fans after sending a message described as "stupid" amid growing backlash. The incident adds to ongoing tensions between the team's leadership and its fanbase.
Levine has served as Yankees president since 2000 and has been a visible figure in the organization's business and political affairs. A 2009 press conference photo shows Levine announcing that Yankee Stadium would host the Notre Dame vs. Army college football game in 2010.
Details of the recent message and the specific nature of the fan backlash were not immediately elaborated in available reports.
