During the MLB’s opening week the Boston Red Sox showed their support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a big way.

On Wednesday, the Red Sox converted the billboard outside Fenway Park into a Black Lives Matter mural overlooking the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The mural; is one of the many ways the organization plans to feature the BLM movement throughout the MLB season.

Recognizing that we have work to do ourselves, we wanted to show that we stand with those who are working to achieve racial equity,” Red Sox spokeswoman Zineb Curran told CNN in a statement. “The billboard is operated by the Red Sox Foundation and one of the ways we plan to feature the Black Lives Matter movement throughout the baseball season as a way to amplify the voices of those who share our values, but may not share our platform.”

The billboard didn’t sit right with many Red Sox fans who took to Twitter to show their dissatisfaction with the organization for supporting Black Lives Matter.
