Social media has been harsh on Joe Buck in the decade or so that it has taken a foothold in American society.
As Fox Sports’ longtime play-by-play voice of Major League Baseball and the National Football League (World Series every season, Super Bowl every third year) and more recently golf, Buck is a target of every guy in his 50s on the computer in his mother’s basement, every dolt in a bar with a smartphone. Public figures face this, but a group of high-profile sportscasters seems to draw an inordinate amount of backlash.
Buck might be at the top of that list.
