“After taking a step back and having further reflection on the overall message that was being conveyed, it was the responsible thing to do,” team president Dave Echols said, adding that the concept was a case of “brainstorming” going completely awry.
Originally scheduled for May 26 at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, the night was promoted as follows by the RiverDogs, which includes a joke about Johnnie Cochran’s famous “If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit” line when touting a related t-shirt giveaway: The trial of the century gets a juicy new spin. We will finally receive the verdict that everyone has been waiting for … pulp or no pulp?
Fans will act as our jury, voting with custom paddles to reach verdicts on various topics throughout the night. The eyes of the nation will be upon us. Fans will receive an “OJ Trial” shirt upon entering the stadium. If the shirt don’t fit, you must … see if we have a different size.
