Happy Memorial Day weekend, Flock Nation. It’s been a long, trying week for many of us, so hopefully your holiday weekend is filled with quality time with those you love.
It pains me to do this, but I’d like to call attention to something good the New York Yankees did before launching into my usual Out to Lunch fare. Click on their Twitter account, and you’ll see that they shared information about the gun violence epidemic in America rather than live-tweeting last night’s game as usual, as did their opponent, the Tampa Bay Rays.
The intersection of sports and public policy has always been fraught with controversy, but it’s encouraging to see teams attempt to use their platform for good.
