I just saw this, trending on Twitter — #WeAreNewYork.
Spearheaded by the New York Yankees, New York area sports teams have come together to rally and honor the spirit of those of us here in New York who are facing this COVID-19 epidemic together.
Not since we came together to face the aftermath of 9/11 has the resilience of New Yorkers been tested like this.
It doesn’t matter what sports team you root for, if you have a favorite team at all. New Yorkers are a team.
We are New York.
