Sharks Allow Pro-ICE Message, Then Apologise

The San Jose Sharks have apologized after the team allowed a fan’s pro-ICE message to appear on the video board during an intermission of a recent game on a night when the team celebrated Hispanic heritage with  “Los Tiburones Night.”

The message, submitted by a fan, read: “SJ SHARKS FANS/LOVE ICE !!/GET ‘EM BOYZ !”After the game, the team noted that “an offensively worded message which had been externally submitted was inadvertently displayed on the in-arena scoreboard.”

The Sharks continued:

“Sharks Sports & Entertainment deeply regrets that this message, which does not meet our organization’s values, was not detected during our standard review process. The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for this oversight, and we are actively working to determine the origin of the message.”
