Kourtney Turner considers canceling Boston Globe subscription over name gaffe in news covering Justin Turner Foundation

Recently, Kourtney Turner's name was spelled incorrectly in a Boston Globe piece by Alex Speier. He wrote Courtney rather than Kourtney. Kourtney Turner, the wife of Justin Turner, tweeted that she would cancel her subscription to the Boston Globe due to the error. She also mentioned that she was teasing and wasn't serious about canceling the subscription.

​

She tweeted:

"That’s it, I’m canceling my Boston Globe subscription".

Kourtney has previously donated to the Boston Globe, so this isn't the first time. The Boston Red Sox should move several players, according to a July piece by Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, including third baseman Justin Turner. Turner's wife, Kourtney, took offense to that. Kourtney responded to the article sarcastically.

​

Kourtney said:

"Don’t have time to read that, I’m helping my geriatric husband pick up something off the ground."

In his piece, Shaughnessy suggested that the Red Sox sell off their assets while still running for a playoff position.
