Skip & Shannon react to Torii Hunter's report of racism at Fenway Park | MLB | UNDISPUTED

Former outfielder and 5-time All-Star Torii Hunter said in an interview last week that he had been called racial slurs by Red Sox fans over 100 times in his career. The Red Sox organization came out with a statement yesterday saying that Hunter’s comments are true and racism in Boston is real. The team said they are committed to quote, “using our platform to amplify the many voices who are calling out injustice.” Hear what Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe have to say about the history of racism at Fenway Park.

The city of Boston should make a public apology to Jim Rice for the way he was treated when he was with the Red Sox. Growing up there, everybody knew it was dangerous for blacks to go to Fenway to watch a game. But Jim had to be there everyday. The racial vitriol that would be hurled at him by the HOME TOWN fans was sickening and was well-known by everyone. Black folks knew if white fans were doing that to their star player, then a black person, as an ordinary fan, had to brace for anything if they went to Fenway. Needless to say, few blacks attended Red Sox games in those days (1970s), no matter how much they loved the team and the game. In many ways, the Boston region had a split personality. On the one hand, it was one of the most progressive regions in the country, but on the other hand it was as reactionary as any place in the South at that time.

Hecs Love are you referring to that when it comes to sports or Denver overall. Cause I’m black and there are very few places in the Denver Metro area where I feel uncomfortable being black.

[@srodriguez591]

Just from following basketball, many players talk about being called racist slurs in those places. Don’t know from experience I’m sure not everyone there is this way.

[@alia7750]

Sergio Rodriguez they never say Denver they say Salt Lake City

[@timsmith2248]

I remember the blowup of racial slurs on Twitter when Joel Ward scored for the capitals to knock the bruins out of the playoffs.

[@taurusteelpan]

Many of the current NBA players refused to play for the Celtics. During a Montreal Canadians & Boston Bruins game P.K. Subban (a black player) scored an overtime goal, and a banana was thrown onto the ice. Boston sports fans have a major problem with racism.

[@M3333C]

PK Subban was quoted as saying he loves the city of Boston and takes his family there often, despite its issues

[@Raiders1234]

A banana was thrown on the ice? You think he's gonna be ok? God, when did we get so damn sensitive?

The shocking thing is that the Bruins, in a "white sport" signed Willie O'ree in 1957. Years before the Red Sox proves it wasn't just Fenway that was racist, it was the Red Sox and the city of Boston.

@@jeremyjames1659, the total of 30 seconds you spent in your life trying to buy drugs from black people in their own neighborhoods does not equate to lifetimes of experienced racism and prejudice from whites as black people. Stop arguing for racism. It ain't a good look.

This is not surprising. I played football at a HBCU "Jackson State University " and one year we played USM in Hattiesburg, MS at there home stadium and they yelled "go back to your N-word school", " they called us grease monkeys", " coach was writing on the white board and one white guy in the stands said why you writing on the board coach they can't read anyway, " Go eat your bananas at your N-word school..We kinda just ignored it like we didn't hear it.

[@kingofelijahcvc7927]

I live in Boston, 31 years now. Boston used to be more racist but now the minority (black, Spanish, Asian) population is big. It’s more diverse, now the suburbs might be different. There’s greater Boston, which surrounds Boston, like Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea, Revere, Malden, Everett, Lynn, this cities are very diverse. I think because of the school bussing riots in the 80s tarnished the city’s reputation. New Hampshire is the Mississippi of the north. Vermont is the whitest state in the country but they are some of the best people in the country. Very liberal, I felt so welcomed everywhere I went.

[@mcdsports4677]

It happened to Adam Jones on the Orioles as well

All people are getting called out to the red carpet. This is not only happening in Fenway Park, but Wrigley Field also has a history of doing garbage like this. PS, shout out to Skip Bayless. He is a BEAST in the little details of sports history.

[@Hugh_Jasol]

In Chicago, when someone yells out a racial slur to a player its immediately confronted by the surrounding fans which usually leads to the fan leaving the section to sit somewhere else or being ejected from the stadium by security. I'm from Chicago but a Minnesota Twins fan and Minnesota fans are racist not in person but over the internet.
