San Francisco Radio Bans Lorde's "Royals" Ahead of World Series
San Francisco will never be "Royals."
As any baseball enthusiast knows, the San Francisco Giants play the Kansas City Royals for the first game of the World Series on Tuesday—and San Fran radio isn't taking any chances in drumming up support for the other guys. Two Bay Area stations have already announced that they've blacklisted Lorde's breakout hit that shares the same title as their opponents during the series.
"No offense, Lorde, but for the duration of the World Series, KFOG Radio will be a 'Royals'-free zone," the station 104.5 KFOG wrote on its Facebook page. Meanwhile, 96.5 KOIT said comments from listeners inspired the ban.
