Ahmaud Arbery case: MLB star Adam Wainwright serves lunch to Black pastors outside courthouse

This happened two days ago but I just saw this article today. Good for Wainwright.

BRUNSWICK - The scores of Black clergy members who descended on Glynn County for a gathering outside the Ahmaud Arbery murder trial probably didn’t expect to see a Major League Baseball player serving their lunch.

But St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright stood among the dozens volunteers on Thursday, doling out freshly fried shrimp to the group of pastors, priests and reverends who came here following incendiary remarks by one of the defense attorneys.

Wearing a camo hat and plastic gloves, the former World Series champion greeted every person who came through the line with their paper plates.

1. In a sports world filled with so many narcissistic personalities, toxic showboats & wife beaters...

...it's refreshing to see a genuinely compassionate person step forward and selflessly serve others (In this case, literally).

Adam Wainwright is a good egg.

4. Some very few fans loudly acted up when Michael Brown was killed..

I am unaware of the team or fanbase being right wing.
