The Mets, who recently added Donald Trump enabler Chris Christie to their Board of Directors, put this statement out Thursday.
“We are proud that our home in Flushing is also the home to more Asian and Pacific Islander New Yorkers than any neighborhood in the City. We are raising our voices alongside our colleagues and neighbors in the tri-state area to say that anti-Asian violence is intolerable and repugnant. We have offered our help to our local leaders to assist them to put an end to this prejudice and hate. What makes New York New York is the respect we all have for each other, no matter who we are or where we’re from. We have no room or time for hate in New York. #StopAsianHate”
