And the players who wore these kits would then have the kits donated to different charitable organizations that are doing great work in the communities, and they would then be able to, I'm guessing, auction off the jerseys and make some money for their organizations. The kit would not be made publicly available. So what you see is basically what you get the outfield players and that is it. Those are the only jerseys that will be made or will be given rather to the organizations

And I think we need to see a lot more of this in the communities in which we live in locally as well. I think that making a statement in a positive way, which will impact others and hopefully decline crime and violence is obviously a positive for the community as well as for the nation. So yeah, I think that supporting these and there's always some haters, I think that will say, why are they changing something or why do they need to get politics involved or something of that sort?
