"Why&amp;apos;d she have to go and make things so complicated?\r\nAvril Lavigne found herself in hot water on Saturday when her expletive-filled rant was heard by over 24,000 people at a Tampa Bay Rays&amp;apos; baseball  in Tampa, Florida.\r\n\r\nThe 26-year-old singer experienced technical problems during her performance at the game, eliciting boos from the crowd. Lavigne responded to the jeers with an R-rated rant, snapping that sound problems &amp;quot;f**king happen on a baseball field.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nLater in the evening, Lavigne apologized for her outburst. &amp;quot;We just had so much fun tonight and we want to take the tirade out and say thank you to the Tampa Bay Rays!&amp;quot; she told the crowd. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m truly sorry if anyone was offended by my language.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nOn Sunday, the Rays released a statement condemning Lavigne&amp;apos;s language: &amp;quot;The Rays demand profanity-free performances from all of our concert performers and we are extremely disappointed by the language used in last night&amp;apos;s show.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
