Tweet advising fans what not to wear later deleted
A US ice hockey team has apologised after deleting a tweet which advised fans travelling to Belfast for a game “NOT to wear” Irish symbols on their jerseys in case they caused offence.
In the original post on the Notre Dame Hockey account on X, the team offered guidelines and “a reminder to avoid our Irish symbolism, that may be deemed offensive to some, while out around town”. “Our game in Belfast is meant to bring people together and build bridges through sport, we apologize to fans and to the people of Northern Ireland for any confusion or offense.”
