Four people were removed from Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, for hanging a large banner that read “Racism is as American as Baseball”. The black-and-white sign was dropped down over the middle Charles Johnson Authentic Jersey section of the Green Monster, the stadium’s famous high left-field wall, during the fourth inning of the game against Oakland. In a statement to the Washington Post, the individuals who unfurled the banner said they were “a group of white anti-racist protestors”. Some Red Sox fans just don't know Boston's racist history Read more “We want to remind everyone that just as baseball is fundamental to American culture and history, so too is racism,” the group added. “White people need to wake up to this reality before white supremacy can truly be dismantled. “We urge anyone who is interested in learning more or taking action to contact their local racial justice organisation.” The group said that they were “not associated with any particular organization although all of us do work as organisers in various Boston groups that combat white supremacy and racism.” “During the fourth inning of tonight’s game, four fans unfurled a banner over the left-field wall in violation of the club’s policy prohibiting signs of any kind to be hung or affixed to the ballpark,” the Red Sox spokesperson Zineb Curran said. “The individuals involved were escorted out of Fenway Park.” One of the protestors told CSN New England that Boston was chosen as a site to unfurl the banner because of the city’s history. “We see http://www.panthersfootballprostore.com/chris-scott-jersey-for-sale-c-29.html Boston continually priding itself as a kind of liberal, not racist city, and are reminded also constantly that it’s actually an extremely segregated city. It has been for a long time, and that no white people can avoid the history of racism, essentially. So we did this banner as a gesture towards that, to have a conversation about that.” The incident comes after the Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones said he was subjected to racial slurs during a game in May. Sam Kennedy, the Red Sox president, apologised to Jones after he told USA Today he was “called the n-word a handful of times” by supportersTwo of USA’s most prominent players, Michael Bradley and Christian Pulisic, have brushed off an extraordinary attack from Alexi Lalas after the player turned pundit attacked the team’s struggles to qualify for the World Cup. After a string of mediocre results, the US could face a playoff against Syria or Australia to qualify for next year’s tournament – if they make it that far in the first place. On Sunday, Lalas called the team ‘a bunch of soft, underperforming, tattooed millionaires’, as well as calling our players individually - including Bradley and Pulisic. Lalas said Bradley should “play better” and was too “zen”. On Wednesday, the Toronto FC midfielder sounded, well, zen when asked about Lalas’s comments. Alexi Lalas attacks USA's 'soft millionaires' and 'Wonder Boy' Pulisic Read more “Part of being an athlete, a competitor is understanding that everybody has an opinion, especially Wil Myers Jersey in the world today,” Bradley told SportsNet. “Everybody has a platform to fire off a hot take whenever they want. It’s life. You’re in the wrong business if that throws you off. “You use it in the right ways, you use it as motivation. You make sure you don’t forget who the [critics] along the way are who had a lot to say. One of the recent [sayings] that I’ve seen that I like is, ‘The lion http://www.officialcardinalsbaseball.com/authentic-54-jamie-garcia-jersey.html doesn’t care about the opinion of the sheep.’ I’ll leave it at that.
