I live near Richmond and have toured all of the battlefields and contributed money to preserve battlefields and add to existing parks.
I was born in Wisconsin and am a Yankee, but love the history.
This madness of erasing it is frightening.

Isnt this crap getting just a bit out of hand?? Arent they taking this way too far,?? And of course John Henry doest go far enough with his stupidity. The Red Sox used to forbid black players. Disband the Red Sox and all of the original 16 baseball teams and burn all the paraphernalia associated with those teams.

I propose Ted Kennedy Boulevard. What a perfect man.
Re-name it Mary Jo Kopechne Way.

"John Henry grew up on one of his father's farms in Forrest City Arkansas". The town is named for General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Wonder if the family holdings ever benefitted from slave labor?
Et tu Johnny?

Will they go after “Patriots” next? Think of the possibilities.

They’ve gotten this far, why not keep pushing for more? One thing I learned from my experience teaching thugs was to NEVER give them an inch because they ALWAYS expected a mile when you did.

It appears that the floodgates holding back insanity have been flung open.

These people thinking they can mess with Fenway? Home runs over the green monster land on MLK blvd, or Jessie Jackson court...or Jim Rice lane.

Oh I absolutely agree the damage is real, but the damage to their “brand” is greater IMO.
