Cant say that I’m surprised by this since some Cardinal Fans were rude to protesters in St. Louis. It was only a matter of time.
Deadspin caught a local group selling Darren Wilson t-shirts with “Go Cards” on the front and “Darren Wilson 6” on the back (the 6 represents “I got your 6” aka I got your back). The tshirt stems from a fan who tapped an “I am Darren Wilson” on the back of his Cardinal jersey. The group is urging fans to wear it Saturday during Game 1 of the NLCS.
Via they’re Facebook page:
*GAME SHIRTS* *WRISTBANDS* Pick up a game shirt to support Darren Wilson (thanks for the inspiration Dan Ride!), available Saturday at Barney’s Sports Pub, 6027 Chippewa St, St Louis, MO 63109 (open at 11AM Fri-Sun)! Shirts are $20, local availability only. Wristbands are available NOW for $5 (non-local folks inside the contiguous U.S. states only, mail a check for $10 addressed to Darren Wilson to the same location & put in the memo WEAREDARRENWILSON wristband). Please note: We’re hand-painting the shirts with stencils. If a local supporter has access to a screen printer or shirt company with immediate availability to print these more efficiently, let us know (we already have the shirts)! Please comment below if you know you’ll be coming by for one and tell us what size(s)! If you’re not going to the game, watch with fellow supporters at Barney’s!
This is getting sickening and its sad that Cardinal players represent ANY fan that support this. I wonder how the Cardinal organization respond to this, hopefully its immediately.
