The Boston Red Sox made a very visible statement of anti-racism Wednesday as they put up a huge Black Lives Matter sign on an exterior wall of Fenway Park.
The sign, which says "Black Lives Matter" in large letters followed by the Sox' logo, faces the Massachusetts Turnpike and directs viewers to the Red Sox Foundation website for more information.
On the website is a statement on "Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion" from team President and CEO Sam Kennedy posted last month in the wake of the major protests over the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and others.

Heard some things that pertain to lost historical eras:
NFL
MLB
Dodo birds
Phone booth
cranking a car engine by hand
fireman in a railroad engine
All are things I have nothing to do with.
Yuhp, if they sell out, than they should shell out!
The flu fiasco, the new BS rules, now this blatant anti American racism and MLB thinks baseball fans will just accept it. I’ve lived and died Reds baseball for 50 years but I’m done. The fools at MLB start this after the habit of watching the game has already been broken. That three hours a night watching Joey Votto take third strikes has been very easy to fill. The money grubbing millionaires and billionaires in the game should have just tanked the season arguing over cash. On 11/4 when the media forgets black lies matter, just like in 2016, guess who gets stuck holding the bag?
OK! Raise the sign as high as you want too Red Sox, but what does that make me, an elderly white guy—chopped liver? All Lives Matter and when we adopt this fact, yes, black lives are included. Perhaps we can’t adopt ALL LIVES MATTER while the murder mills continue to kill our most innocent lives—BABIES IN THEIR MOTHERS WOMBS. UNTIL THESE PRECIOUS LIVES MATTER, NO LIVES MATTER.
Hallmark claims it defeated the boycotters by others staying with the network and can now expand homosexual love stories.
NFL and MLB will say it’s not really “half” the audience (us) because after Jan. 20, 2020 the BLM and Antifa plan to eliminate a lot of us Deplorables. Then we won’t be half any longer. As the Indian (”Native American”) tribes aren’t half the USA west of the 13 colonies any longer.
Buh-bye, MLB....
They included everything you could possibly imagine except
#RedSoxCanDropDead
Seen at a school somewhere:
Black Educators Matter.
Black Students Matter.
Black Lives Matter.
Defiled?
It’s a mural. The more art that’s put on it, the better it looks ...
This coming from the professional sport that will be playing to several hundred cardboard cutouts in the stands. I hope they get used to that quickly.
“Boston has long been the most racist (anti-black) city in America”
that’s been my personal experience with white, blue-collar type folks who were born and raised there ...
So it's root, root, root for the home team
And if ya drop to yer knees it's a shame
'Cause then it's one, two, three strikes....
I'M OUT Of the old ball game !
anon
I truly hope every last professional sports team folds! I hope these woke A$$holes beg the Americans they dissed to come back! I also hope we tell them to go to Hell!
Man I hope the Mets don’t pull any of this crap.
You are right about Beantown, that is well known and true.
We are going to have to make our own nice things again, like we did in the olden days
I will never watch professional football, basketball, or baseball again.
I hear you
