Over the years, the jumbotron has become more than just a giant television. As great as it is to watch some replays of that amazing play you just witnessed from the stands, the jumbotron has become much more versatile. It’s a great way to wish someone a happy birthday, a happy anniversary, or even propose. Just imagine the joy you’d feel after seeing your name appear on the jumbotron.
Turns out that people are using the jumbotron to send messages that go beyond positive messages. One baseball fan used the jumbotron to avoid a tense situation. A guy named “Tim” broke up with his significant other via a jumbotron message.
We're not aware of the inner workings of Tim and Alyssa's former relationship, but clearly Tim is moving on as evidenced by the uppercase "OVER". We’re hoping this doesn’t start a trend of using the jumbotron as a way of avoiding difficult conversations. Proposing in front of a baseball stadium full of fans is romantic. Dumping someone in front of a baseball stadium full of fans is… well, kinda scummy to be frank.
Let’s leave the jumbotron to epic sized highlights and surprising heartfelt messages. Let’s keep those breakups private. You got that, Tim?
