The Boston Red Sox have had enough of the racial slurs being thrown around Fenway Park and are beginning to take action.
According to a team press release on Wednesday, a fan has been permanently banned from Fenway Park after being caught directing a racial slur toward another person during Tuesday night’s game.
The Boston Globe reported the incident happened immediately following the national anthem, which has been performed by a Kenyan woman. The report states a Red Sox fan wearing a team hat and T-shirt uttered a racial slur to describe the woman’s rendition of the anthem.

The most outspokenly racist white guy I served with in the Navy was from Boston.
Back in the 50s and early 60s it was not uncommon to hear racist low class whites say things like "Let's go nigger knockin' ". My response was "What'd they do to you?"
“Sticky legal area. It is a place of public access. They, apparently can not reserve the right to deny service or entry into their ballpark or deny service to others.”
That would require that the person who allegedly dropped the N-Bomb would have to go to court, get on the stand, state his name, and argue, “It is my right to call people the N Word!”
Good luck with that.
As I stated, in the South, we left them alone, and they left us alone (live and let live). Jim Crow was just the legalization of that philosophy.
In the North they HATED blacks, and mistreated them HORRIBLY (and still do). That is why the blacks almost always riot in the North and later West.
People didn’t want forced integration then or now. Equal protection under the law should never mean race-based quotas or set asides.
“Sticky legal area. It is a place of public access.”
I don’t know about Boston, but the SF Giants owners, when they left Candlestick and moved into AT&T Park went on a campaign to get rid of the mean drunks/druggies, thugs looking for a fight, hostile fans and other anti social jerks.
AT&T park has become a family safe place to go and enjoy the games for all ages.
The bleacher area has become a safe place for the rowdies still going. However, they have limits to their rowdy actions. If they exceed that, they are escorted out and can’t come back.
“Jim Crow was just the legalization of that philosophy.”
So....you are actually DEFENDING Jim Crow laws??
Really??
Sure troll, dirt bags of color broadcast their racism 24x7 on all
media and public places and get away with it.
In 1969 I joined the Army and was ordered to Fort Knox,KY for BCT.Most of the guys in my Company were Southern boys....Tennessee,Mississippi and Texas to be precise.Most were white but a few were black.As a boy who had lived his whole life in the suburbs of Boston,and having read many reports about trouble in the South I expected serious racial trouble.I was wrong.Not a lick of trouble from the white guys *or* the black guys.
Maybe it's because we had a common enemy...the DIs!
It was a small neighbor spot kind of down an alley a few streets away from the Navy Yard, but I had never been there before, and being of the 2nd generation of my family to not be from Southie I don't have even the slightest hint of "Boston charm" about me -- I was also a college freshman at the time and a slightly preppy dresser, so it would be hard to mistake me for a Boston hood rat or something. The incident rolled so many of my negative impression of Boston into one experience that I almost laughed out loud at what was an unbelievable situation, but between the "f*** Republicans" guy and wondering whether the waitress meant the owner of the restaurant or a mob boss when she said "the boss" I finished eating and left a nice tip.
That's Boston, beneath the veneer.
No, what I am saying is the North had their version of Jim Crow, it just wasn’t written into law (for the most part), and in many ways was MUCH WORSE.
We left the blacks alone, and they left us alone down in the South.
Up North, blacks were tormented, taunted, and mistreated on a daily basis, and still are.
The fact of the matter is, people self segregate naturally. It’s been 60-70 years since legalized segregation ended... and yet people STILL to this day self segregate into areas predominately with people who look and act like themselves. And churches.... wow... nothing is more segregated than churches and that is all voluntary. And it’s because no one has or is trying to fix it.
AT&T Park is a gem in all ways. A beauty.
While there was certainly bigotry and discrimination in the northern states, I don’t think many blacks (or honest whites) from the era of Jim Crow would say that they were just “left alone” in the South.
Surely you have to see that the Jim Crow laws themselves (among many other things in that era) are proof that blacks were not just “left alone” in the South, no matter how incorrect it definitely is to say that the north was so much better when it came to race relations.
Does the ballpark receive tax payer money or subsidies of any kind? If it does then no.
Hopefully our Giants will get their act together for another great season.
Regardless, as you noted, “AT&T Park is a gem in all ways. A beauty.”
The North and West had their own sins in respect to race and are in no position to criticize the South.
