This man…

Before the terrorist attack, there was a lot of excitement around the game, but after the act of violence, the atmosphere understandably turned into an emotional state. The Sugar Bowl was eventually postponed until Thursday, and organizers paid tribute to the victims before the contest.

Pregame ceremonies honoring the victims mostly went on as scheduled. And then Allstate CEO Thomas Wilson joins the chat…
…Total ignorance, zero self-awareness, and utter stupidity!
Wilson, Allstate’s CEO since 2007, spoke on camera before the Sugar Bowl, delivering a lecture on “division and negativity” rather than condemning violent acts of terrorism.
“Welcome to the Allstate Sugar Bowl,” Wilson said. “A tragedy struck the New Orleans community on Wednesday. Our prayers are with the victims and their families.
“We also need to be stronger together by overcoming our addiction to discord and negativity. Join Allstate in working in local communities across the country to amplify the positive and Let’s build trust and accept people’s flaws and differences. Together, we will win.”

I think I speak for all of us when I say…what an idiot! And yes, that’s exactly the American response.
Have we not realized that we have been trusting others? Look where it led the people of New Orleans.
