Baseball just got spicy — and it has nothing to do with the postseason.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is lighting up social media after posting a brutal message aimed straight at ABC and two of its most polarizing programs.
In a late-night post that instantly went viral, Happ wrote:
“Please….. ABC…. Cancel The View. They are as disgusting as Jimmy Kimmel.”
Fans immediately flooded X (formerly Twitter), turning Happ’s name into a trending topic. Supporters praised him for “saying what everyone is thinking,” while critics accused him of dragging politics into sports.
One fan replied:
“Finally, someone said it! The View has been out of control for years.”
Another shot back:
“Stick to baseball, Ian. Nobody asked for this.”
Neither ABC, The View co-hosts, nor Jimmy Kimmel have responded publicly — but insiders say the network is well aware of the viral storm. Industry watchers are already predicting that Kimmel might use the drama as material for his next monologue.
Whether you agree with Happ or not, one thing is clear: this Cubs star just turned a quiet news cycle into a full-blown Hollywood vs. MLB showdown.
