Sox send a message to turnpike travelers

Iâ€™m surprised nobody has posted here asking when the â€œall lives matterâ€, â€œblue lives matterâ€, or â€œwhite lives matterâ€ banners will go up. maybe they go to bed before 10pm?

Did they hook up some turbines to the Yawkey family graves to take advantage of the spinning? I think they could get a renewable energy tax credit for this.

That's a pretty tasteless

That's a pretty tasteless comment. Not all of that family was racist and they've contributed to improving more peoples' lives in this city, state, country, and maybe the world than you.

It's not virtue signaling if it has impact. Already we can see you upset which means people who need this repeated are going to see it again.

Virtue Signalling = Any message that creates a societal expectation that he needs to act like a human being who respects the rights of other people.

They put up a sign and will act like they've 'done something' without putting any effort or money to actually do anything about the issue their sign has 'raised awareness of'.

When the Sox start actively hiring, investing, and going out into minority communities maybe it will mean something. Currently the Sox do a lot in suburban communities and little to nothing in their own neighborhood and the city in general except for visiting children in hospitals.

Also, are you mad that you made the photo gallery above, or mad that you didn't make it?

Black Lives Matter is a nice PR stunt by Red Sox management. A better gesture would be to compensate the black victims of rape and child sexual abuse at the hands of a former Red Sox trainer who molested dozens of young black boys at Fenway Park.

Streeeeeeeetchin' that one a bit, eh?

By J.R. Dobbs

1. It happened in the 90's at a different place of employment and had no connection to the Red Sox organization.

2. He was an attendant who picked up jockstraps and take-out food and not a team trainer.

3. He was fired immediately after the Sox found out.

In conclusion, your what-about-ism score for this round is 2/10.

Red Sox front office remains whiter than gallon of milk

By O-FISH-L

The hue of Red Sox upper management, meanwhile, remains whiter than a gallon of Cumberland Farms 2% milk. The team has clocked 119 years without an African-American manager. This ownership group gave us Bobby Valentine following the 2011 season, two years after Americaâ€™s first black president took office. Tom Wernerâ€™s old pal Roseanne would have been a better hire. -- Tom Speros, Boston Herald June 2020

The BLM banner is just an insurance policy to cover the lack of diversity in the front office and manager's office. It's similar to the lawn signs in the leafy, lilly-white suburbs at the mansions of those who wouldn't dip their little toe into Roxbury, Mattapan or JP. Does John Henry have a BLM banner on the $50m megayacht where the young servant was found dead a few years back? Will he change the yacht's insulting, Native American name Iriquois that he misappropriated for his own pleasure, worth more than the GDP in some developing nations?

You tried.

Oh, Fishstench. You tried.

"Iroquois", which you misspelled as "Iriquois", is not really a Native American name. It's a Frenchification of an insulting name applied to the Haudenosanee people by the Huron. Now take your participation trophy and sit down.
