Heard that the folks who attended the Boston/Baltimore baseball game had to stay put for their safety.

I was in that area just two weeks ago, returning from a cruise. The area near the hotel the night before felt totally safe and pleasant. The way that stadium is situated, there's no way people could leave that game, get to their cars, and get home if the riots moved down there....it's a really expansive area.

How dumb can these folks be? If it were "black JOBS matter" a lot more black lives would be saved. The city has become rather pleasant for tourists. The new casino is probably within the riot zone; nothing like making it unapproachable. If cruise ships use that port, that's a whole lot of revenue for the city and jobs. Discourage tourists and people from outside the city going to sports events and that's a lot more idle young people to keep rioting through the summer.

Is this the first time out of control riots have affected a major sports event?
