Albert Breer wants proof about the n-word at Fenway

Weren't several fans ejected from the game?

 

Yes.

 

Racism is so wrong. People are people dammit.
As far as the word in question which disgusts me ... fans are insulting their own players who are African American when they slur like that. I mean they are colorblind to their own players but not others? Glad they kicked the fans out. I'm sure they'll take steps to make sure they don't get tix ever again.

 

I know most MLB players live in la-la land when it comes to money...but did Adam Jones understand that if someone had to pay $30K as a fine they may be giving up half or more than half of their salary for the year?
I understand he was upset, but it proves that some pros have no concept of what money is after a while.

 

I don't condemn Boston sports fans for one knucklehead. I condemn Boston sports fans for allowing the guy to yell it a second time.
Oh, and Beantown also busted the Cubs WS trophy.

Cubs WS trophy damaged while crowd surfing

 

The more you know....

 

No proof.

 

Pretty sure he has a concept of what money is.

Adam Jones hasn't forgotten his past, he has embraced his future

 

The Globe's story online Monday night was restrained in its headline.

Orioles’ Adam Jones says Fenway Park crowd’s verbal abuse included racial slurs - The Boston Globe

"Orioles' Adam Jones says ... "

Wish I could argue with you.

 

When I played football at Georgia Southern, we beat FAMU in the playoffs. As we walked off the field, I heard a fan, who was carrying a confederate flag with the school logo on it say to some FAMU players: we won because our niggers are better than yours.

 

Don't know why I'm doing this to myself because I know what's coming from the board, but I'd hope a bunch of journalists and ex-journalists could look at this with an editorial eye as opposed to whatever the hell happened to this thread.
Right now this kid's story about being at the game is falling apart and it looks like he decided to prank Lupica to get on Barstool Sports.

Since this is the journalism portion of the board, can we keep the discussion there. If you want to bash Boston's racism or fans, take it to the Sports/News section please.

EDIT: A question I've never thought about because I've never done it - if you go to social media to look for a source (fan at game, scene of accident, etc) how do you confirm they were there and avoid being the victim of a prank? Genuinely curious.
