The Jonas Brothers, one of the most popular boy bands of all time. Performing since their teenage years, they are all fathers now. While their fans usually cannot keep calm seeing their childhood icons performing on stage, this disruption left both the music and baseball worlds baffled.
The Major League Baseball (MLB) fans were shocked when the Jonas Brothers performed after the fifth inning of Game 2 of the World Series. The game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers was a tight contest and had the fans almost on the edge of their seat during the entire game. However, the brief pause came with a tribute to ‘Stand Up to Cancer,’ as coaches, players, and fans held up signs supporting the cause. But the Jonas Brothers’ performance that came after was labelled as ‘utter woke nonsense’ by the Internet.
All about the mid-game performance
Shortly after the tribute to the cause, attention suddenly switched to the Jonas Brothers as they took the stage, as the baseball Game 2 action was about to unfurl. While there was no objection to the cause, the timing became a huge cause of debate, given the tense game afoot.
With both teams tied 1-1 after the Toronto Game 2, Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered one of the most dominant World Series pitching performances for the Dodgers. Toronto’s Kevin Gausman kept the Blue Jays competitive, retiring 17 straight batters at one point before giving up key homers in the seventh inning.
‘I’m trying to watch the World Series?’
Netizens and fans took to social media and shared how confused they were and were left puzzled by this occurrence. “I’m trying to watch the World Series and they’re doing a damn Jonas Brothers concert after the 5th inning,” wrote a user on X (formerly Twitter).
Sharing the sentiment, another comment read, “‘Thank you for honouring those fighting cancer. Here’s the Jonas Brothers.’ Was not on my bingo card for this World Series.” A user quipped, “Thank you the Jonas Brothers for defeating cancer.”
Ending up in a complete meme fest, the Internet could not help but notice the absurdity of the Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas performing mid-game. “I will never forgive the Jonas Brothers. Completely changed the vibe,” wrote a fan on X. Calling it ‘stupid’ and ‘insane’ the fans let the aghast get the better of them. On the other hand, another user suggested to “put Drake in the 7th inning stretch.”
