Despite offering Miami fans and others displaced by Hurricane Irma the opportunity to take in Thursday's game at SunTrust Park free of charge, the Atlanta Braves have found themselves drawing the ire and offense of many with a very poor between-innings song choice.

Speakers blared the song "Rock You Like a Hurricane", a move that immediately caught the attention of social media. Hurricane Irma has resulted in many residents, specifically from Miami-Dade County, evacuating as the storm approaches Florida.

A Braves official apologized for the poor taste in song choice with the following statement, per Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald: "'Rock You Like A Hurricane' is on home playlist, should have been pulled. Won't be played again this series."
