Kevin Youkilis caught some flak from Patriots fans over his NFL tweets
"Cancelled??? This is what I deal with from Patriots fans."
Kevin Youkilis spent nine seasons in Boston as a member of the Red Sox and became a beloved member of the team during his tenure. While Youkilis remains a Boston sports icon, he also remains a fan of his hometown Cincinnati Bengals, a fact that offended some Patriots fans after he tweeted about it on Monday.

Youkilis went on to clarify that he actually does root for the Patriots despite his Bengals fandom because Tom Brady is his brother-in-law, and Youkilis says, “I will root for family.”

Youkilis had almost 4,000 plate appearances during his stay with the Red Sox, hitting .287 with 133 home runs and 564 RBIs. He also was a key component to the team that won the 2007 World Series, sweeping the Colorado Rockies in four games.

After Youkilis retired following the 2013 season, he opened a brewery in Los Gatos, California, called Loma Brewing Company. Youkilis married Brady’s sister, Julie, in 2012.
