It's nice that they are apologizing but I don't get why they need to apologize for the actions of someone else.

It's those fans who were asshats not the team

Let the team and fans know they won't be putting up with that shit. Punish/ban those caught yelling racial slurs etc, make an example out of the clowns. It helps PR as well.

I guess.

I just don't like this "You must apologize for something you didn't do!" attitude.

I mean if your girlfriend cheats on you with a Democrat should Bill Clinton apologize?

As I said it's nice that they care but it seems harsh that they are getting blamed at all

You know how people always say "why don't muslims publicly denounce (unrelated suicide bomber 7000 miles away)?!"

Well this is what the Red Sox are doing right now.

Just not with as severe of a crime.

This really. The apology is more of a way of showing they've won't condone that's behavior. And it's just a nice gesture.

The non-racist ones should've done something to stop the racist ones, though.


Yeah, because citizens engaging a probably drunk already antagonistic person in a public setting where they have no authority was definitely the solution

Do you know they weren't? Maybe someone didn't want to get their kid caught up in a fight these animals would start.

The fuck? It's a pro baseball stadium. They have security.


Ok? It says right in the article that it's MLB policy to remove fans doing things like that.

That still doesn't involve the non-racist fans having to do anything to stop it

The amount of racist garbage spewed after Joel Ward ended their season with an OT goal in the playoffs is a sight to behold.

Red Sox fans are terrible people. More news about how water is wet at 11.

But really though, sucks to see. Thought we'd be past that shit in 2017 but some people just can't help themselves.

Damn,CC Sabathia throwing that shade at Boston

Talking Tuesday before the team's game against Toronto in New York, Sabathia said in his big league career, "I've never been called the N-word" anywhere but in Boston.

I wish they sounded more pissed off, because they should be. It's fucking ridiculous that shit could happen without other fans standing up against the racist shitbags.


buddy, im not gonna get punched out by a group of drunk assholes while im with my family at a baseball game for the sake of "changing the world" or "stopping the racism"....you can take that risk....until then I'll play my part by only using appropriate chants and jeers and hope others follow my example
