Last month, when former Major League All-star Torii Hunter said he’d been called the N-word “a hundred times” at Boston’s storied Fenway Park, the Red Sox were quick to back him up with a promise to fight racism.

“Torii Hunter’s experience is real,” the team said in a June 10 Twitter post, adding that there were at least seven incidents as recently as last year where fans used racial slurs. The team promised to do a better job dealing with racism: “As we identify how we can do better, please know we are listening.”

Boston fans accused of racism? No way

[hostile takeover]

Boston is well known as one of the biggest racist cities in the US.

Interesting... last time a Democrat wasn't mayor was 1930.

I remember Torii having a specific no trade to Boston clause in his contract because of the racial stuff

LOL. Exactly

I remember Barry Bonds (who I've pretty much hated forever) getting crucified for pointing it out.

Gee. I'll tell ya. Who wouldn't take being called a derogatory slur a few hundred times per game to get 20-50 million dollars per year? Wouldn't you just sort of laugh at them. Like, yeah you're the N, I'm the one making the money and won't even have to work the rest of my life after one week of playing this game.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but 30 million a year and your words will never hurt me. Tell you what. Find me any job out there or career I could do for 20 mill per year and they can call me anything they want. I would just lmfao to the bank.

These athletes are just p*ssies and babies anymore. You guys who worship them and jerk off to them and look up to them are all F*ggots.

Case closed!

Maybe if you're broke, it'll be the last year you play, and they're the only team that will bring you on.

Otherwise, if you're making (and worth) millions, who the penetrate wouldn't try somewhere else.

You wrote that like someone who can't finance a trip to the zoo.

Not only are they racist, they proudly flaunt it!

So tired of this crap. U.S is probably the least rascist country on earth. If these million dollar crybabies don't like being called names fukin move to Russia. Godam. Blacks have called me rascist words before and I don't give a fuk. Who cares. If you let that bother you so much you are a weak person.

Mostly black athletes are supported by white owners and white fanbase that has money. You would never see alot of blacks follow a white sport...they follow sports that they relate to and have mostly black players. Blacks dont follow golf..tennis...nhl..its nfl and nba
