A nice gesture today from the head coaches of the New York Jets and Giants as they honored the memory of fallen officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos by wearing NYPD hats at today’s games:

He may have packed up his office, but @nyjets coach Rex Ryan remembered to bring his #NYPD hat to Miami. Nice touch. pic.twitter.com/DkEXLex7Jv

Fox Sports personality and former NFL great Tony Siragua was sporting one, too:
Props to @TonySiragusa on rocking an #NYPD hat on the sidelines of today's @Giants game.@NYPDnews

As was former Jets and current Eagles QB Mark Sanchez:
Mark Sanchez runs off with an NYPD hat. Not sure if he stole that from Giants but nice gesture #6abcEagles

But not everyone was on board with the gesture:

Another reason to fire Rex Ryan – wearing an #NYPD hat after the police riot by of many of that organization this past week.

Sitting here watching Rex Ryan, coach of the NY Jets, wearing an NYPD hat at his press conference. Black players need"I Can't Breathe" hats.

Rumor has it that Ryan has already cleared out his desk, so we’re not sure he’s worried about how a hat will affect his future with the Jets.
