Dodgers’ Alex Call gets warm reception at NLCS after controversial ‘soft porn’ Sydney Sweeney ad remarks

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Call received a standing ovation from fans at Dodger Stadium during Wednesday’s Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, despite his recent controversial remarks about in-game advertisements. Call had criticized MLB’s risqué postseason ads—including a nearly nude Sydney Sweeney promotion for prediction platform Novig—on Twitter, calling them 'soft porn' and questioning how parents could justify exposing children to such content during baseball broadcasts.

Though his post sparked debate online, the crowd’s enthusiastic response suggested many Dodgers supporters aligned with his stance, even as teammates like Max Muncy and Roki Sasaki drew louder cheers during the game. Call has not addressed the backlash further, but the stadium’s reception signaled broad fan support for his position on the ads’ appropriateness during playoff broadcasts.
