Fan in gorilla suit, 'All Lives Matter' shirt runs on field in Chicago
A fan wearing a gorilla suit and an “All Lives Matter” shirt ran onto the field in the fourth quarter of the Bears-Lions game and ran for a surprisingly long time, roughly 45 yards all told, before being tackled by security.
The other side of the T-shirt read “All Lives Matter,” the slogan that’s a rebuttal to the “Black Lives Matter” movement. Granted, one person’s slogan of inclusiveness and awareness is another’s statement of race-based defiance, but wearing an “All Lives Matter” shirt over a gorilla costume—well, that’s either breathtaking ignorance or just straight-out, no-question racism. Not a great look either way, gorilla dude. (Update: the gorilla was unmasked to reveal the fan was African-American. Without plunging into the morass that is racial politics, we still feel confident in saying anyone wearing a gorilla suit with a race-oriented t-shirt is outright clueless, trying to be provocative, or both.)
