Joe Buck is appreciated by Fox Sports and was assigned to call the ALCS between the Royals and Blue Jays. Buck is not appreciated by the fans who reside in Kansas City.
One fan was so upset by the announcement that he set up a petition on Change.org to ban the Emmy winner. Here's the personal note he sent to Fox Sports, via his petition.

Please consider revising your plan to have Joe Buck provide commentary during the ALCS games. We feel that your audience would be far better served by someone less biased, with better knowledge of the game.
The commentary he provided last year left a bad feeling with those forced to listen to it that persists even a year later.
Well, Buck caught wind of the petition when the user sent a tweet saying, "If you hate Joe Buck as much as we do, please share this petition." Buck responded to the fan on Twitter.

— Joe Buck (@Buck) October 15, 2015The petition asked for 15,000 signatures and has 10,381 supporters as of this writing. Of course nothing will happen if the petition reaches 15,000 signatures, but that's not the point. The point is that a lot of people apparently don't like Joe Buck.
Buck, however, has grown accustomed to the displeasure of fans. At this point he just embraces it.
