The San Jose Sharks have apologized after an apparent offensive message seeming to praise Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was displayed on the arena’s scoreboard during the team’s Hispanic heritage celebration on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Video shared with CNN showed the scoreboard displaying: “SJ SHARKS FANS LOVE ICE !! GET ‘EM BOYZ !” Some fans at SAP Center in San Jose, California, can be heard booing in response.
Sharks fan Jessica Clark told CNN she and her group were “appalled” by the message. “They’re my favorite team — I even have tattoos — but this was something that should’ve been caught,” she said.
In a statement posted on X later, the NHL team said: “During the first intermission of tonight’s game, an offensively worded message which had been externally submitted was inadvertently displayed on the in-arena scoreboard.” Sharks Sports & Entertainment said the message did not reflect the organization’s values and had not been detected during its standard review process. The team expressed deep regret and said it is investigating the origin of the message.

ROTFL! A hockey game scared the hell out of the asylum seekers.

Do they hate the IRS, EPA, USMC, etc?
Offensively worded by praising American citizens, enforcing Constitutionally legally passed legislation.
That is where we are today. What a nitwit.
Does this mean that Hispanics are offended by crystal meth?
Lol.

No. They love diamonds.
I notice the chick they interviewed is not outraged that Biden’s goons brought a Hamas terrorist into this country who was living in Louisiana since last year, nah that’s fine though
What are the chances the offended person was not at the game or ever watches hockey?
Insane leftists.
Like firebombing Ice Cube’s tour bus.
Exactly.
She claims to have season tickets and a Sharks tattoo.
Note to self: avoid women bearing tattoos of their favorite sports teams. I will allow one exception, if it’s for the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
Hockey Ping!
(let me know if you want on or off the list)
That was absolutely hilarious!
I was expecting something like Jill Biden calling the Sharks ‘Breakfast Tacos.’
Disappointing! And now I want a TACO! ;)
Not to mention Paul Simon “...and Julio down by the school yard.” ;)
Just WHAT was going on there, one wonders? *SMIRK*
