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.

I’ve really wanted baseball back, if the Chicago Cubs or White Sox pull this crap, I’m gone.
I would rather they just put up a great big poster of past Red Sox players. They can start with George “The Boomer” Scott, a ‘70s First Baseman who was disliked by many Red Sox fans because he wasn’t Fred Lynn or Jim Rice.
The Boston busing riots from the 70’s were worse than anything in the South!
I used to live in Boston. Buh-bye to supporting the Red Sox.
Probably. But they are a little thin..,,
What if no one showed up next year? Deep thought for today.
Why wait until next year. Start not watching on tv, listening on radio and avoid any real life BS!
The same sort of thing occurred in the Soviet Union. You were expected to put up a picture of Stalin. So you had better put up a picture of Stalin.
Why not “Red Lives Matter”? They’re the RED Sox, after all!!!!
And “Red Lives Matter” has NOTHING to do wth a communist organization, the Unitarian-Universalist cult, etc. etc.
Red Sox embracing communism on American soil...you were right, Mr. Franklin...we couldn’t keep it.

TRUMP READY FOR LIVE SPORTS BUT SAYS HE WON’T TUNE IN IF PLAYERS KNEEL DURING NATIONAL ANTHEM: ‘GAME IS OVER FOR ME’
Wonder how much money the Red Sox and others are contributing to this anti American marxist organization. American Marine hero Ted Williams once played for this now degenerate,cursed organization.
How about instead of “Red, white and blue” the baseball facility changes its name to “Red, Black and JetBlue”?
Change the white color on the flag, too. Even burn it. Liberals would be ecstatic.
“Woke corporations, white suburban kids and their Democrat sponsors are driving all this. There are a few token blacks, but this is not about George Floyd, or black lives mattering - this is about left-wing radicalism.”
Exactly!
“Pro sports was great while it lasted. Guess we cant have nice things any more.”
The left destroys everything it touches.
It is way past time we destroy the left and their useful idiots!
I believe they do and that the white man is in a war, which most can't acknowledge for reasons unknown to me.
Commercial suicide brought to you by America’s largest corporations.
South Boston vs Roxbury. I remember it well.
