'Shame': Fox criticized for cutting out of Dropkick Murphys performance for commercials

The Dropkick Murphys performed the Star Spangled Banner at game six of the World Series in Boston. The group also performed “I’m Shipping Up to Boston,” but Fox viewers didn’t get to see the entire song because the network cut out of it for a commercial. Many tweeters weren’t happy to say the least:

Good move to cut away Fox. 'Cause yeah we don't wanna see Dropkick Murphys or anything. Yah, there's no Irish/Boston folk who'd like that.

Screw you @FOXTV @FOXSports for breaking for a commercial when the @DropkickMurphys were playing. #redsox

Here’s the song Fox cut away from:

Watching game 6? You'll hear “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys. Co-produced by David Bianco. http://t.co/JE8SeuoxlL
