Pirates restoring Roberto Clemente tribute after backlash from legend's family, fans over alcohol ad
Briefly

The Pittsburgh Pirates have decided to restore the tribute to baseball legend Roberto Clemente after backlash from fans and Clemente's family. The team had initially replaced a logo honoring Clemente with an advertisement, which angered many. Team president Travis Williams acknowledged the oversight, emphasizing it was an honest mistake not to keep the No. 21 logo. Williams reassured that Clemente's legacy would be honored properly moving forward, amidst criticism over the organization’s initial handling of the situation.
It's crucial that we honor those who paved the way for future generations, and removing his tribute for any reason is simply unacceptable.
I appreciate the Pirates organization recognizing their mistake, but it's a reminder of how easily legacies can be overlooked.
