This is beautiful. Boston Celtics ban fan, for 2yrs, after using N-word on Black player!

https://www.wbur.org/news/2011/07/27/urban-fenway

"...There was a time when Fenway Park was not a welcoming venue for African-Americans, becoming the last team in the majors to sign an African-American player.

On Tuesday night at Fenway, one of the most storied baseball fields in the nation played host to one of the nation’s oldest civil rights organizations. The National Urban League is holding its annual convention in Boston as it celebrates its 101st anniversary.

Marc Morial, the head of the National Urban League, threw out the first pitch.

Five youngsters from Boston — from the neighborhoods of Dorchester, Roxbury and Mattapan — who had never been to Fenway before served as bat boys and bat girls.

"And finally two words we all want to hear..."

"Play ball!"..."

 

Gee, What the halifax is going on in Bahstun?! ---->

Not sure why this discussion had to devolve into anything more than this simple statement of fact.

 

The result, the banning of the boy, was appropriate.

 

It proves that the city Boston has a racist fanbase ---no matter if it's NBA MLB or NFL, as according to facts. Period.

And that fact will not change, no matter how many Boston fans run to cry to PF mods to delete my posts

 

Be careful, someone might ask mods to delete this.

 

No more than any other major city. In every other context people talk about what a “progressive” leftist enclave Boston is. There are almost as many colleges as Dunkin Donuts, and you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a weepy, guilt-ridden white liberal in search of a minority to genuflect before and beg forgiveness for their skin color.

People who have never been to Boston talk a lot of **** because they heard some idiot on espn trying to boost ratings.

 

Nope. It's waaaay more than any other city.

These stories posted here are, real, plus there's many more just like them that verify Boston is a racist sports town since no other city reports this many incidents. It's good Marcus Smart is out for the next 6 weeks so racist fans can't blame him now, if the season ends this month.

 

That is simply not true.

Have you EVER been to Fenway?

How about the Garden?

Gillette?


Have you ever been to the city of Boston at all?

I've never been to the city of Boston as an, entertainer, paid to amuse and relax residents who bring their White-racism to the event:

‘A flea market of racism’: Black athletes on playing in Boston over the years

By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.


Adam Jones said he was called the n-word several times by Boston Red Sox fans, who also hurled a bag of peanuts at him.

Afterward, he became the latest in a long stream of black athletes to speak out about racism they’ve experienced in the city.

“It’s different,’’ Jones said of the racial timbre toward black athletes, according to USA Today. “Very unfortunate. I heard there was 59 or 60 ejections tonight in the ballpark. … It’s unfortunate that people need to resort to those type of epithets to degrade another human being.”

Over the last 60 years, athletes from most of the major sports have commented on that difference — even all-time greats who played for Boston’s home teams. Here are some comments they have made about the racism they faced in the city over the years.

Bill Russell: an NBA champion who won 11 championships for the Boston Celtics in the fifties and sixties, called the city “a flea market of racism,’’ in his 1979 memoir, according to the Boston Globe...

Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays: Both passed over by the Red Sox as other major league teams integrated. Boston’s baseball team was accused by the NAACP of having an anti-Negro policy... many black baseball players required clauses in their contracts that guaranteed they wouldn’t be traded to Boston, according to Time Magazine.

And it wasn’t just players that played before the Civil Rights era. David Justice, Gary Sheffield and Dave Winfield asked for similar clauses...

K.C. Jones: The Celtics Hall of Famer ... told Boston Magazine about animosity he received as he was buying a house.

Dee Brown: The high-flying guard had a similar rude awakening after the Celtics drafted him in the first round in 1990 ...Brown and his fiancee were surrounded by nine police officers — five with guns drawn — who ordered the couple to lie facedown on the pavement, according to the New York Times.

CC Sabathia: On Tuesday, he told ESPN that he and other black major leaguers expect racist taunts at Fenway Park..."I’ve never been called the n-word” anywhere but in Boston...

No mention at all of the first black professional NHL player on the Boston Bruins, of course.

ATTN READERS: Marcus Smart has some stories to tell...

Marcus Smart Says He’s Encountered Racism At TD Garden, Supports DeMarcus Cousins After He Faced Racist Slur




Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is opening up about the racism he says he encountered at the team’s home arena, TD Garden, with fans of his own team using racist insults against him...

 

Hey @unkotare ... do you think Marcus Smart, is generalizing? Or how about Cousy?? Bill Russell?

Hockey Loss Sets Off Slurs, and Boston Asks, ‘Again?’

• Washington Capitals scored against the Boston Bruins in overtime on Wednesday did two things, both embarrassing to Boston. It knocked the reigning champion Bruins out of the N.H.L. playoffs, and it unleashed a flurry of Twitter slurs against Mr. Ward that summoned an old, familiar image of this city as a den of racist white sports fans.
  
  Mr. Ward is one of a small number of black players in the league. The posts, seemingly from resentful Bruins fans, characterized him using expletives, words like “dumb” and “stupid,” and a common racial epithet. On Thursday, Mr. Ward brushed off the posts, telling USA Today, “It doesn’t faze me at all.” But for many here, the comments dredged up a past they would rather forget.
  
  The Red Sox were the last major league team to integrate their roster, and refused the chance to acquire Willie Mays in 1949. The Celtics legend Bill Russell called Boston “a flea market of racism” after vandals broke into his home and left slurs on the walls in the 1960s.
  
  Sports aside, the city’s resistance to school integration four decades ago marked it as a racially polarized place. It is a reputation that, fair or not, has yet to entirely fade.
  
  “We’re supposed to have turned the page on that,” said Thomas Whalen, an associate professor of political science at Boston University, “and this is just an ugly reminder that we have so far to go.”

A few times, back in the early 80's. It was a great place to watch baseball. Got invited to a box awhile back and it seemed great. The crowd I was with was pretty upscale,though.

Always thought Yankee were way worse, especially when they migrated down to Baltimore to on the Orioles. Watched them kidnap the Oriel mascot in the bleachers and the police had to be called so he could be released.

 

This is good. More banning of boorish, rude, unpleasant fans is in order.
