Major League Baseball player Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres recently returned to the baseball diamond after serving a suspension of 80 games. Tatis Jr. had gotten this suspension last year after he tested positive for taking an anabolic steroid banned by the league. And now, it’s been almost a week since Tatis first appeared after his suspension. But it still isn’t sitting well among the fans as they continue to taunt him in the games he’s playing. 

In a recent game against the Cubs, baseball fans were heard chanting, “He’s on steroids.” However, the athlete did not let those chants affect him, and started dancing on the field. And the dance to stop the chants turned on him. It happened as baseball fans over Instagram started to mock him even more. 

What are the fans saying about Fernando Tatis Jr.?

Last year, when the news came out of Tatis Jr. being banned from MLB for 80 games, it came as a shock for everyone. It’s because, until that moment, Tatis Jr. was seen as the face of the entire Padres organization. And within moments, Tatis Jr.’s fate was turned around.

Performance-enhancing drugs have been in Major League Baseball for decades now. But whether the athlete took them intentionally, still remains a mystery. However, the following are some of the fans’ reactions on Instagram toward Tatis Jr’s dance in return for the steroid chants. 

One of the fans said, “That clown doesn’t take the game seriously.” Whereas others wrote, “He just get more and more unlikeable for me”, “Known anabolic steroid user…period”, and “Ah yes don’t accept the repercussions of ur own actions and instead taunt the heckling u deserve”.
