    Way back when Ted Williams was hitting 35 home runs, batting .340 and drawing 120 walks every year, Red Sox GM Joe Cronin refused to sign both Willie Mays and Jackie Robinson to help Williams out, because they were not the right "style" for the team. As a result of racism, the Red Sox forfeited their chances of winning AL championships and World Series.
    The culture only really improved when Theo Epstein came in.
    Thanks for interviewing Kevin!

    To say Boston is Racist as a whole is irresponsible. Been living here my whole life and the people that live here not only are diverse but people treat each other with respect.

      Potent Domain of course they are going to paint everyone with the same brush, it’s what they do. It couldn’t just be a small set of people that are in every city in America, it must be the whole population of Boston. Just like disbanding they police, the mob is out. Reality is who cares it will eat itself in the end. Btw I’ve been at yankee stadium many times and heard racists stuff from white, black, Latinos you name it. I didn’t think the 60k fans in the stadium were all racist.

      The overgeneralization is ridic. Drunk idiots at a Red Sox game trying to take cheap shots at opposing teams or a struggling Red Sox player is not representation of an entire population. Chauvin, all cops are bad. It's like 2 things can't be right at the same time. It hurts the small brains of the victimhood culture. People in Boston can be racist. And most people in Boston are likely not racist. Chauvin deserves jail for brutality, but most cops by in large are good. All can be right.
