- 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.

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.
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
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
Uncle Shay is official we know that,skip is that dude too 👊I love him yo

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
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 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.

Michael Hurlbert Lol he was a lot more notorious with the twins though
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

And San Francisco doesn’t have racism ?
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.

@@Try_The_Soup I'm nonpartisan BUT I recognize the fact that the first black senator was a Republican, circa 1870. He was backed heavily by black people, this means those black folk who pushed him were Republicans as well.

I’m a Patriots fan and Red Sox fan. You can’t go to Gillette or Fenway without hearing the N-word, it’s true and sad.
I'm a Pat's fan and that's the reason why I would never go to a home game.....
WOW 😯
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.
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.

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

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)
Skip’s incisiveness is incredible

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’m using a clothes line right now😂
I know them clothes stink Lmaooo
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 grew up in the south and I always remember hearing that Boston was the most racist city in America
Faackin Bahston!!!!!
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!
Skip and Shannon are not shying away from racism in sports and America and are doing a good job. Frank, open and interesting. Keep it up.
Wow... My hat goes off to undisputed you guys are awesome. Difficult convos
YOPTV2 -What’s difficult about calling white people racists? Everybody’s doing it.
@@jasonwistaff It's difficult to have to deal with the disgusting racists who know they are blatantly racists and think that it's okay. It's NEVER been okay but people like you want to act like it's not a problem. You and those people are disgusting for WAY more than wanting to be able to be a horrible racist
I like this convo format. It's like an organic conversation more than a debate
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.

A big tolerant city like Boston? No way. Couldn’t be
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂 sarcasm at its best
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
Thats what made the LAKERS VS CELTICS the NBA'S greatest Rivalry..
wow
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
Beautiful city! Can't say the same for some of those fans who ruin it for the rest of them.
Am a Red Sox fan from the uk and I got to admit I feel ashamed because I did not know Boston was a racist city 😢 yes I have been to Fenway in 2014... come on people don’t matter what your colour you are we all should get along that’s what life should be for.. well done to Boston Red Sox in admitting this. Just hope all owners of USA sports teams gets this sorted out because.ALL LIVES MATTER

Tory ain’t lyin and I grew up in Boston
Talk to Jim Rice. Skip brought it up later in conversation.
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
Nice apple reference Shannon. You nailed it ! 😂😂😂
I’m 29 and definitely had a clothesline lol
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.
First time they ever mention baseball lol

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.
As a Yankee Fan.. im actually finding myself proud of the Redsox. Wow GEORGE FLOYD CHANGED THE WORLD!!!!!

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.
Boston not going to like this lol
Utah and Denver are part of that list
Agree i live in Denver so i know
I didn't know Denver was like that. This really are different when you're just a visitor and not a local.
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
Wow y’all talk about something other than Bron and the cowboys?!?!
Wesnipes20 😂 from a diehard Cowboys fan. DC4L
I never experienced racism in Boston and I’m a black female born and raised there. I live in Maryland now with my husband and miss home like crazy.
Well ur luckier then bill Russell then Lol
I'm not that old but we only had a washing machine and multiple clothes lines 😂😂
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
Tori Hunter is a class act! Very underrated player.
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 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.
This is nothing new about Boston.
Shannon, did you forget about Juicy Smollett 😂🤣😂🤣
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
As a Yankee Fan We Don’t Condon this Racism
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.
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.
Mista KD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jasonwistaff real talk lol, it was kinda funny at the time
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.
Skip: I also live that life 🤣
I remember hanging up clothes on the line. Damn, Im old.
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.
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.
Torii from my state of Arkansas! He's a great dude!
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!!
ReturnoftheBrotha google it
ReturnoftheBrotha well I have worked in the New England Area...Boston, Providence, New Hampshire...all the way up to Maine and into Canada! It’s a lot of overt as well as covert racism and bigotry in that area!!
@@jeremyjames1659 For a racist drug addict, you sure seem to know a lot about black neighborhoods that you've never traveled to...
Skip is the truthfulness white man in all of sports. I salute you!!
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.
Great job you've done Skip standing for Jim Rice back then.
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
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.
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
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 remember the blowup of racial slurs on Twitter when Joel Ward scored for the capitals to knock the bruins out of the playoffs.
The MLB broke the color barrier with Jackie Robinson in 1947 with Brooklyn but the Red Sox didn't break the barrier until 1959 with a guy named Pumpskie from Oakland. Lol! Even the Boston Braves broke the color line before the Red Sox. I guess that is why they had to leave town. Smh.
Bill Russell, David Price, Adam Jones, C.C Sabathia and many other black players complained about the racism in Boston.
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.
I used to hate, Skip, for the way he always went after LeBron. This week I'vegainedso much respect, and admirationfor him. I used to think he was an undercover racist. Oh boy was I wrong! First time in life that I've ever been happy to be wrong 😊
This isn't a shock. As a black man who lived in Boston for over 17yrs, I can personally tell you the area is UNBELIEVABLY RACIST at times.
You can do this with any race in any major city. All over the planet too
Shannon sounds like my old wise southern granddad lol 😂
Shannon: Yep!
