Donald Trump's ex-lawyer and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani sparks uproar after attending Yankees event

This move raised eyebrows, as Giuliani had previously claimed to boycott the team due to their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Giuliani, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, openly stated last summer that he was boycotting games due to the team's stance on BLM, a movement aimed at addressing issues of racial injustice and discrimination.

Despite this declaration, Giuliani was seen mingling with fans and signing autographs at the "Pinstripe Pride 2024" event held at the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The 79-year-old politician, who served as Mayor of New York from 1994 to 2001, had also distanced himself from the Los Angeles Dodgers, criticizing their "Pride Night" invitation to a drag group satirizing and declaring a war on Christianity.

Despite Giuliani’s previous claims of boycotting the Yankees over political disagreements, his recent activity showcased his continued support for the MLB team.
