The Accidental Activist

When an American Pitcher runs off the mound during the Canadian National Anthem to relieve himself, his "statement" sets social media ablaze. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, he embraces the narrative and quickly finds himself in over his head as a social justice icon. He basks in short-lived fame, until a bathroom security tape outs the true meaning for his "protest." Ultimately, he comes clean and finds peace as spokesperson for Overactive Bladder Syndrome.
