Fan in gorilla suit, 'All Lives Matter' shirt runs on field in Chicago

HhSwULBGpRPaMsr7aFVebnEcK5AH22jD_mM2Tee-mZQ.jpg


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.)

Fan in gorilla suit, "All Lives Matter" shirt runs on field during Lions-Bears game - CBS News

A person dressed in a gorilla suit and a T-shirt that read “All Lives Matter” ran on the field during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Lions-Bears game at Soldier Field.

The person was tackled by security near the 40-yard line on the south side of the field near the Detroit bench. The fan was then escorted from the playing surface.

Twitter user @Gaur_Nik shared video of the person in the gorilla suit being taken down by security.

A spokesman for the Chicago Police Department said he hadn’t heard about the incident. A message was left by The Associated Press seeking comment from the Bears.

The front of the person’s T-shirt read “All Lives Matter” in black lettering and the back said “Drop The Guns.”

The incident comes with several players in the league facing criticism for various displays during the national anthem. Some players who have protested have said they have concerns about treatment by police of African-Americans, a focal point for the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

There didn’t appear to be any protests by the Lions or Bears before Sunday’s game.
