If the promotion does not fit, you must cancel it.

That decision was made by the New York Yankees' Single-A affiliate, the Charleston RiverDogs, who canceled their "O.J. Trial Night" promotion that was scheduled for May 26.

"After taking a step back and having further reflection on the overall message that was being conveyed, it was the responsible thing to do," RiverDogs president Dave Echols said, per Derrek Asberry of the Post and Courier.

The RiverDogs announced the promotion Monday as part of the rollout of their 2020 promotional schedule.
