consequences.
“If you choose to talk s–t about my dad, even though you have no clue what you are talking about, you will get called out. If you go that route, I recommend you take a good look in the mirror first,” Patrick, a longtime sportscaster and current play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Angels, wrote on Instagram.
“Tonight is the Emmys and I have zero confidence the @televisionacad will honor my dad for the ‘in memoriam’ segment. I am a member of the academy, and despite my best efforts, they would not tell me if this TV LEGEND will be on the telecast”, Patrick wrote on Instagram.
”The TV Academy failed miserably by not adding him back in January. I will not be watching the show, but rather enjoying a quality birthday dinner with my beautiful wife, Summer.”
Emmy’s controversy
Earlier in January, Patrick’s father had been omitted from the memorial tribute.
“Wasn’t watching #Emmys but someone let me know they left my dad out of the ‘in memoriam,’” Patrick posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Kind of wish I didn’t know right now but I would’ve found out. Sad and mad is a paralyzing combo.”
However, in September of this year, Patrick finally got to see his father honored.
“Thank you to the Television Academy for including my dad in the ‘in memoriam’ segment. I am posting a young Ryan just as he was embarking on a long-lasting TV career as an actor. He truly loved acting on television, and Rodney Harrington, aka Ryan O’Neal, would have something clever to say with full humility.”
