I commend the SI Yanks for honoring policemen who have been slain in the line of duty, but if they stood away from using the “_____ Lives Matter” slogan, we might not be talking about it at this moment. It is definitely a sensitive issue, and I see both sides. However, you cannot categorize it in a nice neat package and expect to sell baseball tickets.
The only “people” who would have a problem with the SI Yanks event would be criminals and or criminal sympathizers. I CAN BREATHE! Thanks to the NYPD and because I don’t break the law.
Differing opinions should be respected, Fred. Your views are what they are, but that doesn’t lessen the humanity of your opponents or make their perspective not even worth considering.
