Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong takes accountability after viral interaction with White Sox fan

(Brett Davis-Imagn Images) In the aftermath of a crazy Cubs-White Sox Crosstown finale Sunday , an interaction between Pete Crow-Armstrong and a White Sox fan went viral on every corner of social media. The Cubs centerfielder was seen shouting back at a fan in the middle of Sunday’s game, using profanity and a derogatory term toward the fan. On Monday afternoon at Wrigley Field, Crow-Armstrong wanted to address the controversy head-on .

“I think I just regret my choice of words the most and who that affects in my life, directly and indirectly,” Crow-Armstrong said. “I don’t think that any of the women in my life would ever think that I would use those kinds of words regularly, especially referring to them. I’m just bummed out about the word choice and that a bunch of little kids probably find their way to social media and see that as well.

“But I am intense on the field and in a moment like that, I think I just let it get away from me a little bit. But again, poor word choice. Lack of awareness, too, when it comes to who’s watching me.

I don’t want to represent the other guys in this clubhouse that way, because mostly everybody in here is the opposite of that. ” Pete Crow-Armstrong on interaction w/fan: "I regret my choice of words the most and who that affects in my life, directly and indirectly. I don't think any of the women in my life would ever think that I would use those kind of words regularly, especially referring to them.
