- 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.

Those Mormons don't use cuss words 🙂

Bwahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
LMAOOO
Jesus Santiago We’re gonna get around on them real soon. A 97% white state
Shout out to the Red Sox office for being honest about something we all already know.
Jay Butler yup, been needing it for over 400 years now, glad the redsox finally owned up to it, that’s progress
Jay Butler need what?
They know about but yet let it happen. Smh
That is huge good they acknowledge and act on it!
Sam Kennedy was on a podcast today and said there’s no proof this happened, which is correct cause it’s made up
The Red Sox passed on signing Jackie Robinson, they could've been the 1st MLB team to desegregate, instead they were the last.
Wow. Didn't know this
They didn't integrate until '69, if memory serves me right.
@@fudgematthew33 I didn't remember the year, but wow 22 years later.
This why I low key cant even cheer for them
@@jerrybutler4295 my bad. It was '59. Still not a good for the Red Sox.
We don't give skip enough credit for his fearless character
Skip is a self loathing idiot. He'd say anything for views.
He just says things for a reaction
Facts. Most of his takes are just for show. At heart he’s one of the best guys to ever cover sports. I think that’s a big reason why he’s one of the biggest sports journalists/personalities in the country.
Agreed
Factz
So Massachusetts is the Mississippi of the North??
LMAO!
Nahh more like Alabama
Pretty much. Boston (Southie especially) has been historically racist. Boston is pretty much carried by Cambridge in everything. Cambridge, MA is right across the river from Boston and it has all the great colleges (Harvard, MIT), big corporations, tech companies, and is very liberal/progressive in comparison.
Irish descendants, not surprising.
Except for the fact that a 5th grader in the worst school in mass is still smarter than the average college grad from Mississippi
I've known that Boston has been racist for decades. Bill Russell didn't go back to Boston to retire his Celtics Jersey!
I think Garnett had to be convinced to go play there by his future teammates as well.
Jeradiah Williams Actually he did. Russell refused to have his jersey retired publicly bc of racist Boston fans. Held it in private
@@andrewptob didnt know this wow
@@TheLuscious I forgot about the private ceremony. My bad on that
AOB Garnett loved Boston. Probably wants his number retired there
Boston fans and racism go hand in hand.
Racism is the glove that Boston fans wear in the winter.
I’m ashamed to have been born here, I know killing myself wont make things right but I don’t want to live anymore
J James chill bro lol
JaysonLyles1 I barely want to live anyways, but when I think about history I always come to the conclusion that I don’t deserve to live, idk
JaysonLyles1 I know I should try to channel it into something positive
I'm not even from America but I know Boston is notoriously racist, it echoes all the way to Africa lol.
Damm 😆😂😂
Sure does.
Philadelphia is worse
It's not. Never has been. Not even close.
Philly might er comparable. Rizzo, Move, etc. But Boston is half very racist/ half abolitionist to this day
Uncle Shay is official we know that,skip is that dude too 👊I love him yo

@Car Ram-Rod who does?
Twins fans know Torii is the epitome of a class act. And people pretended this wasn't real for over a decade.
Not just twins fans, angel fans aswell
White Sox fan that saw Torii torment my team forever with the Twins & Tigers. Great guy! Class act his whole career!
Michael Hurlbert Lol he was a lot more notorious with the twins though
I’m shocked the Red Sox even confirmed it.
Me too. The times are changing.
It's a new day, man.
It’s good !
They know it's best to get in front of this now before it comes out later on and be a bigger issue
Think about it. Anything other than admitting it at this point would be backlash!
If Black Athletes in 2020 are going through this, imagine how many hundreds of times worse it was for Black athletes 70 years ago in the 1950s
Yes, just imagine.
Facts! The Red Sox was the last team to sign a black player!!!! 💯💪🏿

You should hear some of the, Bill Russell stories of playing for the Celtics.
He also played in the 50s and 60s half century ago
Robert Parish always look angry..I wonder if he has a few stories
John Solly583 things haven’t changed much
@@nurseblacke9168 actually things have changed. but every state is racist if we are going from 1960s standards.
Nurse Blacke according to Torii Hunter? That was the most unbelievable story ever told
Patrice Oneal told us about all this a long time ago
He used racism in his acts. Bad analogy.
Not really in interviews he talked about going to certain neighborhoods and the white boys trying to beat them up with brass knuckles and bats plus they threw in some n words and slurs for good measure.
You've never heard his skits where he rails on white people for 15 minutes straight?
Man I would love to here Patrice take on the world ,on an O&A show with Anthony and his rhetoric...WOW
Jeremy James sounds like you never heard him Anthony from the O&A show debating there’s hours of conversation Patrice was genius the perfect person to discuss Boston that being where he’s from
I’m from Boston, You’ll never catch me at the Fenway park
I’m a Red Sox fan but yea I’ve heard too many racist stories from Boston
@Kwum aix Good. You don't get to just throw bottles at people and expect things to be ok.
Anddddd nobody cares 😂
@Kwum aix lol you guy's should've messed him up real bad. Like real bad
@Kwum aix so he must've had a Really Bad Hangover, huh?!?!?!!!
The Red Sox need to be commended for standing up and taking responsibility for their fans
Shannon. Love you. I’m not black but you are the best voice for the black cause. Wish your words are spread more widely. Makes so much sense. Other arguments are sometimes weak and just get folks ignore or snicker. Thank you. Keep educating us.
💯Why can't more people in the world be like you bruh
Bill Russell said in an interview that he was even called the N word and spit on by the Celtics fans
That's why he had a closed ceremony with only his teammates when the Celtics retired his jersey.
Racists aren't that brave.

I'm a Pat's fan and that's the reason why I would never go to a home game.....
WOW 😯
I remember when the red soxs wanted to sign Kirby Puckett more money than he was being paid in Minnesota and his wife nixed the deal saying she would never live in Boston.
Red Sox were the last MLB team to have a black player. Bill Russell used to complain about the racism in Boston.
Boston sucks and their fans are racists!
Wow, that says a lot
Plantation News I don’t blame her
Wow
Javy C Boston’s still a better city than wherever you’re from.
I love my city Boston, but there’s definitely a racism problem there 😔, hopefully the situation can improve. However it’s not all bad, there’s actually diversity and not everyone is a racist (obviously)

Please talk about the reports on what college football players say about playing at West Virginia.
I’d like to hear Pat McAfee’s point of view on that.
What happened? I can’t find anything on it
@@b-head6961 I've been looking for high and low. There was a poll taken by NCAA football players ranking the worst stadiums to play in and they picked WV as the worst place to play due to the racist behavior in the stands.
I'll keep researching it.
@@think3632 I live in Morgantown West Virginia and you are absolutely right this is a very racist place, you have know idea
Good to see at least in this environment the honest admission from some whites about racism.Thats a start.HONESTY!!!!! We dont want handouts we just want an honest playing field.And it always began with the hope that white America owns up to its sins.Of course our community has a lot of work to do ourselves.But im encouraged goin forward
I'm shocked they admitted.
A lot of whíte Americans have owned up to their defects. Now if we can get blacks to do the same, we'll be making headway. Just forget about the victim mentality or the privileged mentality and learn to co-exist. Everyone has privileges these days to an extent. And most people have shortcomings. But we're not living in the 1800s anymore so that's good news.
Yea, you're right. Honesty and admitting is a start. Everyone needs to be honest with themselves. You can start with the man in the mirror. Ive started with the man in the mirror. Not just with race relations but everything. But you know, I realized I wasn't as racist as society tried to make me feel I was. I don't think that song was written specifically for whites. We ALL need to take a look in the mirror. Especially those that think they don't need to.
Texas Rebel you still have a long way to go and you don’t even realize it i have nothing against you but dig deeper is all ill say on the matter once you do that the truth will definitely set you free
I’m 29 and definitely had a clothesline lol
Exact reason why I call myself a fan of the Celtics and not Boston
I was born and raised in Boston, but I never tell me people cause I'm so ashamed and embarrassed.
I wonder why kyrie didn’t sign in Boston....,🤨
He would have signed if they would have offered him more money. But the problem is, he just got hurt too much. He will never be the same player
Little five foot nine Isaiah Thomas accomplished more in Boston than Kyrie Irving did
I grew up in the south and I always remember hearing that Boston was the most racist city in America

i’m 29.. i had a clothes line growing up for about 8 years until we finally got a dryer
Skip’s incisiveness is incredible
I grew up in Boston for 7 years of my life unfortunately I grew up in the impoverished areas of Boston so I was only able to attend one game at Fenway but it was the greatest experience ever! Unfortunately, yes there are lots of racist in the city but not everyone is a racist it's a beautiful city!
These guys are the best in the business right now. So genuine. So real. Love their dynamic & their fearlessness. I can only hope FS1 throws the entire bag at them when their contracts expire in September.
I'm a black man, born & raised in Boston Massachusetts, over & out my 30's, I know, understand & experienced racism throughout the city by the Caucasians/Europeans/Irish/Italians, neighbors, classmates, baseball, hockey, basketball & football so called fans, it's real & many non blacks with be blatant about it, don't know, in denial or don't care.
I like this convo format. It's like an organic conversation more than a debate
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.
Cant disagree with you. But Jim Still does in studio work for the red sox these days. Anyone that deals with racist treatment shouldnt have to. But it says alot that he has stayed
As a Yankee Fan.. im actually finding myself proud of the Redsox. Wow GEORGE FLOYD CHANGED THE WORLD!!!!!

Just hope all owners of USA sports teams gets this sorted out because.ALL LIVES MATTER
It's Boston. I went to school there. Left as soon as I graduated. I liked my school for the most part. But, it's an extremely segregated city.
So is literally every major city
@@M3333C I hear you - but in Boston; it is extremely pronounced. I'm from NYC - and I was still shocked by it. You would have to live there to really know. I was there for 5 years.
Jabbie238 you probably were in the wrong areas. Some areas are very white like in any city, but Boston is still one of the 20-30 most diverse cities in America
@@M3333C It is diverse. Yet, very segregated. Especially for a northern city of the U.S. You can be a diverse city because of the various races (especially since it is a college town) and still be very segregated in terms of those born and raised there. There is data to back this up by the way. I've been all over Boston. I am not making it up - promise.
Jabbie238 hate to break it to u but there are other northeastern cities with even worse gentrification and segregation problems. Theyre all bad though
Boston always wants to lie but the red Sox admitted it so kick rocks! oh by the way I work at Fenway Park in the pavilion section upstairs in the restaurant and people really are like that there is no lie just go there and see for yourself
I'm not that old but we only had a washing machine and multiple clothes lines 😂😂
Thats what made the LAKERS VS CELTICS the NBA'S greatest Rivalry..
wow
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.
PK Subban was quoted as saying he loves the city of Boston and takes his family there often, despite its issues
A banana was thrown on the ice? You think he's gonna be ok? God, when did we get so damn sensitive?

The most popular radio host in Boston is Gerry Callahan. Look him up and his history of racist views. He represents Boston and everything about it. They have let Gerry express his racist antics over and over again for many years.

Don't forget when the balck Washington Capitals player scored that game winning goal against the Bruins a few years ago, the Bruins fans made racial slurs towards him.

Been to Boston one time in the 80’s. First and last time. Yes I am a black man. The town it’s people has a long way to go.
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.

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.
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.
Sergio Rodriguez they never say Denver they say Salt Lake City
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.
I remember the blowup of racial slurs on Twitter when Joel Ward scored for the capitals to knock the bruins out of the playoffs.
This is nothing new about Boston.
What do you expect in Boston... I’ve worked and lived in the New England area and I know full well the racial disparities and prejudice towards ANYONE non “white”.
About what a white or non black would experience in Harlem or Compton. Detroit?
Jeremy James that’s a lie and you know it!!

Well ur luckier then bill Russell then Lol
Sometimes I forget just how old Skip Bayless is. It takes him mentioning that he wrote an article in the 70s to be like oh s#!t this dude is a relic lol :)
Lived in mass my entire life. Most and least racist state in the union simultaneously. If you live here you know exactly what I mean. You can pretty much guess a persons wealth, ethnicity and religion based entirely on the street they live on.
WOW! Mr Floyd’s death has certainly ‘forced’ us to do some self reflection! Even @ Fenway! This is so refreshing, maybe change will come!
Talk to Jim Rice. Skip brought it up later in conversation.
I’m a die heart Sox fan and I normally go to at least 2 games a year but I don’t live in the state of Massachusetts I’ve never heard any sort of racism but Ik it happens and I’m not doubting it at all, so great job to the organization to making this statement
I've been to Fenway maybe 50 to 60 times over the years. Personally I never heard anything racist, but I don't doubt these experiences. We have to change.
There's idiot fans everywhere. I guess a white guy being called a racist name by a black fan doesn't fit undisputeds narrative. Or Rupert Murdoch and Fox
Jeremy James don’t be obtuse man. You know darn well that black people being racist to white people is significantly less frequent than white on black racism. We have centuries of history that proves it and even today.
It's Boston, what do you expect.
About what you'd expect in any heavily populated black neighborhood toward white people
@@jeremyjames1659 really, Boston has a long history of racial issues. If you can't except that, that's on you. People like you always get offended by the truth and always go with whataboutisms. Logical people are fed up with that kind of mentality.
@@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.
Jeremy James nice deflection
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.
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.
It's true I'm from there
Yes I'm from Dorchester I moved away now I live in North Carolina I remember going to the games red Sox games racist people there too and in foxboro
The Red Sox owning the situation is awesome! With the influence that organization has in that city, that is a huge step in the right direction. Great job Boston.
Wow this is eye opening. The rest of America really has no idea about this
"one bad apple spoils the barrel." people forget the saying because they don't store apples anymore
It’s crazy how I can grow up loving the Sox and going to Fenway, rooting for Papi, having no idea that a bunch of the people around me were racist
Just the Irish whities. Everyone else is chill.
LASAGNA LARRY I hear ya lol glad I’m a French whitie
I think a bunch is an overstatement
Jimmy Kilcomons probably, but hunter said over 100 times. I wasn’t really being specific like that it’s just something I never even considered
I’m black, born and raised in Boston, mid 30s, and I still refuse to step foot in Fenway.
Racism in Boston!!!? I’m appalled!!!!
R u joking.. please tell me you really don't know the history..smh😞
lous hands I’m joking fam. I’ve known about how Boston gets down
It happened to Adam Jones on the Orioles as well
I'm from Springfield, MA and nobody in the state of Massachusetts is surprised.
Well I will say I moved to boston from the south, and have been to an excessive amount of Boston sports game. I have never heard a single racial slur at games, or in Boston in general. Compare that to the south where I saw racial slurs being used almost weekly, and zillions of confederate rallies. Not discrediting what Torii, just stating my personal experience.
Bill Russell, David Price, Adam Jones, C.C Sabathia and many other black players complained about the racism in Boston.
Skip: I also live that life 🤣
They do it in Philadelphia Phillies games too.i have seen it
