A chicken sandwich is the fuel behind a feud between the Staten Island Pride Center and its hometown Baby Bombers.
The Staten Island Yankees, the Short-Season A affiliate of the big-league club, are in hot water over their 2019 season-long promotion with controversial fast food eatery Chick-fil-A — a partnership that left many in the borough’s LGBTQ community gobsmacked. The pact between the Yankees and Chick-fil-A calls for fans in attendance of a walk-off win at Richmond County Bank Ballpark to receive a free chicken sandwich courtesy of the restaurant.
“If you are a part of the LGBTQ community, have friends and/or family or an ally to the community, I would ask you to seriously consider your decision supporting the Staten Island Yankees.
