Orioles player says he was pelted with peanuts, racial taunts at Fenway

...and now the old stereotypes are brought back to the forefront. It prob WAS some Cow Hampshire or western Mass hick but now the whole city is racist? It's wrong, dead wrong, but to play devil's advocate, Jones started this by saying it is a "white man's sport." Thats actually dumb bc its more a white/Latino sport. Dont start the race card if you dont expect to get crap in return, especiallly from drunken bleacher hicks on a cold miserable Fenway night where your BoSox sucked ass yet again. Peace. Everyone cut the crap.

So with an attendance of 33,489 in a confined space, with TV cameras and cell phones rolling, there were no witnesses to this? Please. Perhaps a bag of peanuts was thrown. After all, in years past, it was batteries, coins, dead fish and other projectiles. When the Bruins lost to the Senators in the final game last week, cups of beer could be seen on TV raining down from the stands. I don't think there were any black players on the ice.

What I'm not buying for one minute are the racial slurs in 2017 or that a centerfielder could hone in on them. It would require a large portion of the crowd to chime in together, similar to when fans would tease New York Yankee Daryl Strawberry with "Daryl, Daryl, Daryl" after he battled drug addiction. Certainly there would be no group cheer of the N word.

I agree with my brother officers and others who are skeptical. If someone used the "N" word in my section, they would either be knocked out or prosecuted and it wouldn't be Fenway "security" who was contacted but the actual police, who are plentiful at the park. It amazes me how many people, including the Red Sox, are wiling to buy the story as told. The comments referencing President Trump's election as the cause are beyond belief also.
