On Monday, the New York Yankees had an off day after playing the Chicago White Sox on the road. Manager Aaron Boone decided to spend his off day by attending the TCU Horned Frogs vs North Carolina Tar Heels football matchup, which kicked off at 8 p.m. ET.

Boone watched TCU beat North Carolina 48-14 on Monday night. Many Yankees fans wonder why he attended the game in the first place. New York has a 76-61 record on the season, and they are 2.5 games back of the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in the AL East. The Yankees will begin a three-game series on the road against the Houston Astros starting on Tuesday night.

New York Yankees Fans Questioning Aaron Boone Attending Football Game During Off Day

There are a lot of Yankees fans who have been questioning Boone as manager during his tenure. A lot of New York fans believe that he should be focused on baseball 24/7 and nothing else. This is what some Yankees fans said about him attending the TCU and North Carolina matchup on Twitter:

 

The main reason that Boone attended the game was because his son, Brandon, attends the University of North Carolina and is also a student assistant on Bill Belichick's coaching staff. Well, it is good that Aaron was able to visit his son during a scheduled off day for the Yankees. However, no matter what he does, everything gets magnified by this critical Yankees fanbase.
