While the sporting realm continues to impress and entertain the audience, the mass form of entertainment has taken a big hit. The ongoing writers in Hollywood has become a big issue. As a result of this strike, several projects have been delayed. MLB great Derek Jeter somehow found his name in this development following Jessica Chastain‘s recent comments.
The Oscar-winning actress would go on to use the name of Jeter to explain the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike in simple words. Her use of his name has since gone viral on social media where fans have applauded her smartness to overcome the tricky question.
While the negotiations between the bodies involved continue, the SAG-AFTRA have agreed on an Interim agreement. This allows those people to work on approved projects that currently lack the backing of the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television (AMPTP). Chastain would explain this using baseball terms to a reporter. She would refer to the Major Leagues as AMPTP, the minor leagues as Independent producers, and Jeter and others as SAG members.
“You got the major leagues. You got Derek Jeter, all the guys and they’re like ‘We’re not happy with their contracts, we’re gonna strike” she said. The actresses further added, “The minor league show up and say ‘Hey guess what we’re gonna give you the contract you want!’ and so you know what we’re not gonna work for the major leagues.” This would see the major players go and play in the minor leagues and the audiences will follow them.
What is the Derek Jeter up to these days?
Derek Jeter is one of the most iconic players of the MLB. The popularity is so great that his name has sparked up even in conversations that are not related to MLB. He would become a trending topic when Jessica Chastain used his name to explain the ongoing strike. His name has been popping up a lot on internet searches lately. Just a few days back he was seen hanging out with NFL star Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes and Jeter had previously met each other a long time ago. While Jeter was in his prime, Mahomes was still growing up as a kid. The two superstars shared a heartfelt reunion as the shortstop interviewed the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback as a part of the Fox pre-show. For the unversed, the former New York Yankees captain now works as an analyst for Fox.
Besides that, Jeter was also seen being inducted as the newest member of the Yankees’ Old-Timers club. There he shared a memorable moment with Milwaukee Brewers Willy Adames. Such has been his charm throughout his life, Jeter has left an everlasting presence on a large set of masses. It is safe to say that the word “icon” truly resembles him.
