Kevin Youkilis spent nine seasons in Boston as a member of the Red Sox and became a beloved member of the team during his tenure.
While Youkilis remains a Boston sports icon, he also remains a fan of his hometown Cincinnati Bengals, a fact that offended some Patriots fans after he tweeted about it on Monday.
I have been contemplating turning myself into child protection services for allowing my kids to root for the @Bengals franchise. I think it’s officially neglect! #PleaseSellTheTeam #WhoDey

A simple joke about my hometown NFL team the Bengals and somehow Pats fans have been offended or diverted the conversation to all things Patriots.
