Writing on his Instagram account, May said: “I was sent home early today because I didn’t have on my Comerica Park shirt and they say I was at the bathroom for too long. So, they yelled at me and told me to go home. But since they made me go home early I couldn’t wait until after the game to tell them an employee was spitting customer pizzas.” He further wrote: “The customers don’t deserve this! This is disgusting! And the company to threaten me and let me go for exposing this video to the fans is also disgusting!!” Local news station WXYZ showed the clip to people visiting Comerica Park.
