The holiday season is now coming to a close and Christmas is now officially over. Everybody celebrated the day in a way that seemed best to them. The former Yankee Alex Rodriguez spent the day watching an NFL game. Just like him, two current players of the New York Yankees also spent the day watching the same NFL game between Miami Dolphins and the Green Bay Packers at the Hard Rock Stadium. But the visit did not go so well for one of those players. It was because the player had worn a Dolphins jersey, which did not seem genuine.
The Yankees fans picked up on that and brutally mocked first baseman Anthony Rizzo standing beside Nasty Nestor, Nestor Cortes.

What did the fans say about the New York Yankees player?
Talkin Yanks shared a picture of the two stars of the New York Yankees standing next to each other with Cortes wearing a Santa hat. Both the players had big enough smiles for everybody to see.
At first, the fans mocked Rizzo for wearing a fake low-priced jersey when he could easily afford a real one. Besides this, some people noticed that Rizzo’s jersey looked a bit similar to the iconic kicker of the Buffalo Bills, Ray Finkle’s jersey.
Rizzo should spend $130 out of his 20 mil to get a proper jersey😂

However, the New York fans did not forget to notice that while being New Yorkers, the players were there to support Miami’s NFL team. All while New York has its own three NFL teams.
Who did the former Yankee go to see the game with?
Being home from vacation just in time for Christmas, the former Yankee, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez, went to see the game with his girlfriend, fitness guru Jaclyn Cordeiro. The business icon had a great time watching the game. He also posted a picture of him and Cordeiro wishing Merry Christmas from them to the World. From the looks of it, the former athlete is having the time of his life with his new girlfriend.
