A situation involving 40-time Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider became the subject of controversy earlier this week after Fox Sports neglected to show her throwing the first pitch at the Giants vs. Dodgers game on Saturday, June 11.
Rather than show Schneider’s first pitch, the broadcast chose to feature the first pitch from NASCAR Cup Series driver Kurt Busch, who took the mound the previous Thursday.
The situation caused quite a stir, as Schneider is the first transgender contestant on Jeopardy! to participate in the Tournament of Champions. Schneider was chosen to throw out the first pitch on Pride Day at Oracle Park.
