Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler apologized for wearing a "Blue Lives Matter" flag face mask in the wake of George Floyd being killed by Minneapolis police officers.
Kepler, who is German, deleted the post and told one fan that he didn't know what the mask stood for when he wore it, saying that "Police is green in Germany," per Bradford William Davis of the New York Daily News. He also issued a formal apology:
"Earlier, I posted a photo of me in a mask that was sent to me by a company, to wear during the pandemic.
