Stations KFOG and KOIT have both announced they will not play the song for the duration of the 2014 World Series, which starts Tuesday and will last about a week.
No offense, Lorde, but for the duration of the World Series, KFOG Radio will be a "Royals"-free zone. We're sure... http://t.co/7uvseCjb03

"Why send any positive vibes to Kansas City?" KFOG's program director Jim Richards told NBC Bay Area. "Why not give the song a rest? No one is going to get hurt over it."Richards said the powers that be decided to remove the song from KFOG's rotation "as the [Giants] players were chugging beers" Thursday night, following their win against the St. Louis Cardinals to win the Major League Baseball National League pennant.
