No, but I account for their history and their credibility. Feel free to point to a case where Jones has lied to the media about anything. Think it's far more likely that you're working with a racist agenda to discredit a black athlete than it is that said athlete is making up racism claims about a fanbase that has a long and detailed history of fulfilling racism claims, especially since you've tried to exonerate that fanbase with claims of innocence that have absolutely no basis in fact and generally say stupid **** more often than not.

No way blatant racism would fly there. No big city in the U.S., with the exceptions of Bos and Phi and maybe NYC, are ok with this sort of thing.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're trying to do here and if so I apologize, but it appears you are a) trying to defend the position that Boston doesn't have a long and storied history of racism and b) trying to say Adam Jones is just straight lying? If those are not the stances you are taking, you should probably do a better job of clearing that up. If they are, seriously wtf.

Carston Charlols.

1. Bumgarner

Take it up with CC:

On the other hand, you've got Eddy BRATZ on your side PC, so maybe you're right!

CC Sabathia probably lying too though. And the Red Sox players who admitted to ownership that they heard slurs being yelled at Jones. They're lying too.

Defending Boston's lack of racism is a fascinating take.

Relatedly, a Google data scientist said this week on an NPR show that racism has been mischaracterized as North v. South and that at this point, data suggests the far bigger divide is West vs. East. Makes a lot of sense imo.

A LOL first inning Blue Jays/Yanks. 7 hits 2 walks and 7 runs combined.

It's more how people paint an entire fan base off the actions of a very few. Then you hear the talking heads referring to segregation in 1959, like that has any bearing on 2017.

And I didn't say I didn't believe Adam Jones, I said I have hard time believing somebody could yell the n word in front of 30,000 people loud enough for a player to hear them, and yet no other player or fan heard it.

It's easy to say Boston is a racist city, it's the in thing to do I suppose.

When the PK Subban thing happened they said thousands of Boston fans called him the n word on Twitter. After the media outlets ran with that, it turned out it was 1 or 2 people who weren't from Boston that tweeted it, and that the majority of tweets were supporting Subban.

I blame the media, facts don't matter anymore, and anything with the word racism involved is blood in the water and they can run with it without any repercussion.

Yeah racial policies from 50 years ago like Redlining, segregation, and acceptance publicly calling people ******s, has little influence on how modern society's structured.

Aids. Complete ****ing aids

I try not to get caught up in the whole Boston in racist thing because i understand the history and that the narrative was well earned at the time but saying that, its statements like this that are just annoying.

I wonder if Ortiz was ever called a n****r at Fenway?

Don Baylor : Rene Lachemann :: Larry Rothschild : ________?

Gausman tossed after a curveball got away from him!

Gausman just hit Bogaerts with a 76mlb curve ball in the 2nd inning and got thrown out. It obviously slipped. Joke...

Let us LOL Sabathia.

I want to start a thread wide game from this moment on. At the end of the year, I want to crown the 2017 UMP SHOW champion. Whenever you see a ridiculous ump show, post it and we can determine if it's worse than whatever the current leader is.

Current Leader: Tossing Gausman after a 76mph curve gets away from him in the second inning.

I'd love to see the ol' "high fastball where the catcher forget to raise his glove" and goes straight to that ump's dome.


Like this, but better.


LOL

Why do you think Bonds said he'd end his career anywhere but Boston?

Judge doing Judge things.

The verdict is in, etc.
