I know that's not the intention, but saying it like that slides into apology territory.

We should be absolutely appalled at the firing, maybe to a lesser extent, but there is no better time to point out this than during a big event.

It's kinda like saying 'protestors should not disrupt public spaces', like they have done everything else, what else do people need to wake up and draw the line?
