A man dressed in a gorilla suit ran onto the field during Sunday’s Lions v. Bears game at Soldier Field. The fan ran around the field for quite some time, roughly 45 yards before he slid and was tackled by security near the 40-yard line. The fan was escorted from the field and arrested.

Since he was wearing a gorilla suit with “All Lives Matter,” a rebuttal to the “Black Lives Matter” movement, some people thought there was a racist element and a counter attack to Colin Kaepernick’s protest against racism and police brutality against black people. It turns out, however, that the man is black.
