A simple, yet emotional sign was made in honor of the victims in the bombing in Boston. A
blue circle filled with the Red Sox's "B"logo combined with
"strong" placed below it shows the support the town has from its
sports. Julian Benbow states "More than a hashtag or a slogan, it’s [the
sign] become a mantra for a city still processing the effects of the terror
attack that rocked the finish line of the Boston Marathon." The Red Sox
have begun to make other simple gestures in honor of the Boston Marathon
bombing to help their fans mourn and heal. For example, during
their pre-game ceremony, they wore their white jerseys with the city's
name across their chest instead of their team's name. Also Boston teams have been seen sporting t-shirts with "Boston Strong" on them as well. In fact, the Boston Bruins offered memorable gestures such as leaving their hockey helmets in their locker
rooms and wearing police hats prior to pre-game warm-ups to recognize the
department's hard work. Now, after the suspect was caught and is in custody, the sports events are to continue as scheduled.
