A Boston Globe reporter tweeted he was "so tired of 'Boston Strong,' " just as marathon survivors were being honored during the seventh inning of last night's Red Sox World Series game — and came under fire from shocked tweeters who schooled the Morrissey Boulevard scribbler in sensitivity.
"So tired of 'Boston Strong,' but still inspired by the resilience of so many of those wounded in the marathon bombings," Tweeted Globe scribe Wesley Lowery as James Taylor sang "America the Beautiful" flanked by injured victims in the marathon attacks.
"Say that to the families that lost a loved one. #Classless" Tweeted @WOOKIE318 in response.
"Calling out the fact that loss has been tied to sports team and monitized makes me classless?" Lowery responded.
"As someone who had federal agents searching her garage for a terrorist I feel differently," Tweeted @karamat.
Lowery said in follow-up tweets he was "tired of" the commercialization of Boston Strong as a slogan and that it became "meaningless (for me) once it was linked to sports." But the reporter added he admired "the resilience of those recovering from the attacks."
The Tweets came just hours after Red Sox owner John Henry — whose team has a "B Strong" logo in the outfield — finalized the purchase of the Globe.
Lowery declined to comment when reached by the Herald by phone late last night.
