SAN JOSE, CA — The San Jose Sharks hockey team issued an apology after what appeared to be a message of support for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement was displayed on the screen at Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
“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,” the Sharks said Saturday night in a post on X.
“Sharks Sports & Entertainment deeply regrets that this message, which does not meet our organization’s values, was not detected during our standard review process. The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for this oversight, and we are actively working to determine the origin of the message.”
