Nothing preventing Mike from heading to Lagos to take up residence.
To ESPN’s Michael Smith: F&$% you.
If he’s right then we can disband the entire civil rights structure of every federal agency since it’s a problem that can never be cured.
Thanks for saving us $$$ Mike!
Including the people of color in that city?
Boston, in one of the deepest BLUE States racist? Impossible!....................
What was the story about them yelling at this ballplayer? Did this player say something before this game to cause this? Or these fans just idiots?
Stay classy, Sox fans.
Why don’t these people leave this hopelessly racist nation for brighter futures is Haiti or Sierra Leone? They never leave.
Come to think of it, this can’t be true.
We have laws against racism. Why aren’t they being enforced by the mayors in those cities?
Michael is one of the ‘Keepers’? oh geeezzz..
Another exaggerated,over reported,”racial” incident.
.
I don't know what the word was or who said to whom; but, let me ask this:
If someone throws peanuts on the field, isn't that just because peanuts are sold there so that's what they have to throw? How could that be racist?
Some time ago Adam Jones took to social media to complain about how hard it is to be a negro playing major league baseball. I’m sure this was read by baseball fans outside of Baltimore and when you get to the big league towns like New York and Boston, the more enthusiastic locals will always go for the soft spot.
Other people deny that Boston is a racist city. Many of them are really denying that Boston is the most racist city in America. Some of them really think there is no racism in Boston or less racism than in other cities.
You can certainly object to how he put it, but if you take his remark as saying everybody is racist, and every city in a country is just about as racist or non-racist as every other city in the country, is there really a problem?
The whole controversy was BS from the beginning.
I don’t follow MLB very closely, but there are a lot of black players. Is there some reason this guy Jones was singled out? Thanks, just curious.
On topic: Smith is an arrogant idiot. Always has been.
YOU’RE the racist, Smith...just like most black Americans. Voted for Zero, didn’t you, Smith? Because he’s one of your people, right? Projection is a bitch.
I love watching MLB baseball, HS and College football and PBA (pro bowling).
The NFL is dead to me.
NBA is nothing but parolees or future parolees goin’ squeaky squeaky squeaky... shoot. However, NCAA is fun near the end.
NHL is BORING except during the Stanly Cup playoffs. Sorry Canada.
Women’s Curling makes me smile, don’t know why.
That’s just my screwed up opinion.
Forgotten in this story is the history of the behavior of Boston fans. Back in the 50s “fans” used to buy tickets for the left field stands just so they could taunt and harass one of the greatest, Ted Williams. Williams, of course, being white no cries of racism arose, but questions about the crude conduct of Red Sox “fans” certainly did then as well as now.
Harry Truman is said to have described a prominent Pubbie with “the son-of-a-bitch is no good.”
