MCG faces backlash for Boxing Day Eve greeting instead of Christmas wish

The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) faced backlash on social media after wishing followers a "Happy Boxing Day Eve" instead of a "Merry Christmas." This post aimed to promote the upcoming India vs Australia match on December 26. Critics accused the MCG of being overly politically correct, questioning why they did not use traditional Christmas greetings. Some users expressed frustration, while others found humor in the situation, highlighting the strong reactions to a simple tweet. Boxing Day is a major sporting event in the Southern Hemisphere, with the MCG hosting record crowds. The venue previously saw its largest attendance of 91,092 during the 2013 Ashes Test.
