The Red Sox manager said players are free to 'express themselves' during MLB games.
----
The Boston Red Sox unveiled a massive Black Lives Matter billboard Wednesday. The 250-foot billboard is adjacent to Fenway Park and faces the Massachusetts Turnpike. The huge sign features the words "Black Lives Matter" in the font of the Red Sox on a black background with the team's logo at the end.
The billboard includes the URL to the Red Sox Foundation website for more information. On the site, Red Sox President and CEO Sam Kennedy released a statement titled, "Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion," regarding the recent police brutality cases that sparked protests across the country.
"I have been struggling to find the right words to express the profound anguish, outrage and confusion we are all feeling in the wake of the heartbreaking incidents that have occurred across the country over the past few months," Kennedy wrote. "The senseless killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor are stark reminders that racism and police brutality continue to be pervasive in America."
"Please know we stand with you,'' Kennedy said of Red Sox personnel who have engaged in social justice protests. "Silence in the face of injustice is unacceptable. Thank you for your support of each other during these challenging times. Our work continues."

Stopped watching Baseball in the 90’s so I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY DO
Lol!
The “AIDS Quilt” day was tantamount to today’s Gay Pride day. That was before they stole the word “pride” from us. The audience that day was tilted one direction. You can be sure I accompanied my son to the restroom and I didn’t drink beer so I wouldn’t have to go and leave him alone.
I am glad to at least be out of Boston.
OMG!
Sickening, absolutely sickening.
And the DNC (Democrat Nazi Communist) gangsters and rioters known as BLM (Burglars, Looters, Murderers) do NOT need any more encouragement !!!!! This huge sign is HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE while BLM criminals are still attacking our citizens
Way to go Boston Red Sox, keep it up, you only increase the disgust white paying fans have for the MLB and the NFL. BOYCOTT!!
Right next to the Mass Turnpike
Well in range of someone with a paintball gun as they drive by
Just sayin....
Since white people aren’t welcome there a whole slew of folks will watch at home instead of going to the park...
Lets see how many season tickets they sell...
The Red Sox manager said players are free to ‘express themselves’ during MLB games. Really? So pro life pro trump pro police are fair game then?
NEVER LET A PANDERING OPPORTUNITY GO TO WASTE...
Lol, how tone deaf can you get. These “woke” zillionaire owners don’t care - and probably are ignorant of - what their team’s fanbase thinks.
Rape too
Blonde white fetching woman ?
Somewhere there is a beast of a black man who is convinced you simply need it
Do they still have urinals that are one long sink?
Kool aid being served in the baseball clubhouses.
The stupid lunkheads know baseball, but they’re not informed enough to know that BLM is an anti-American Marxist organization.
It’s really sad to think that their entire take on the matter is only informed by a video of a rogue cop and they can’t pull their heads out of their baseball asses and see the whole picture.
NFL - BYE
NBA - BYE
MLB - BYE
If the Giants kneeling during the National anthem wasn’t bad enough, now this.
NHL, don’t let me down.

Sports as we know it will never be the same. Pop Warner, Little League, at every level it will be infused with this SJW crap as kids are hip to what’s happening. And, kids are too young to be aware of deeper political circumstances. However, the chance of older fans being disgusted is very real, and will result in smaller attendance at events.
There is another pavilion on the 3rd base side, but they do not sell beer there. It is family oriented. The bathrooms that were behind the grand stand area were the ones with the long SS troughs. Plus they had the big round sinks. People would be pissing in the sinks because the line was so long to get in.
I guess they did not consider home many people would need to go to the bathroom in 1912.
Nana, nobody is going to the games.
They are not selling tickets.
They are playing to an empty ball park.
