A's president apologizes for 'Fyre Festival' food served to minor leaguers: 'Totally unacceptable'

Oakland A's president Dave Kaval has apologized for the quality of food served to the organization's minor league players.

Kaval issued the apology Tuesday night after photos players posted went viral on social media, drawing comparisons to the infamous "Fyre Festival" meals that were panned in a pair of 2019 documentaries.

The Twitter account for Advocates for Minor Leaguers called out the A's for meals featuring a sandwich with a single slice of processed cheese and a sparsely filled tortilla.

Kaval: 'We will redouble our efforts'

Kaval responded directly to the critical tweet, calling the food "totally unacceptable" while writing that the A's fired the vendor that provided the food.
