The Boston Red Sox responded to recent comments Torii Hunter made regarding racial abuse at Fenway Park. 'Torii Hunter's experience is real. If you doubt him because you've never heard it yourself, take it from us, it happens.'
The retired Hunter told ESPN's Golic and Wingo last week that racial abuse he received from fans at Fenway led him to put the Red Sox in the no-trade clauses in his contracts."I've been called the N-word in Boston 100 times," Hunter said."Little kids, with their parents right next to them. ... That's why I had a no-trade clause to Boston in every contract I had."
Hunter expanded on those comments on WEEI-FM's"The Greg Hill Show," saying Tuesday he heard far more racist taunts in Boston than any other city. In their statement Wednesday, the Red Sox said they would remain committed"to using our platform to amplify the many voices who are calling out injustice." "There are well-established consequences for fans who use racial slurs and hate speech in our venue, and we know we have more work to do," the team said."This small group of fans does not represent who we are, but are rather a reflection of larger systemic issues that as an organization we need to address. True change starts from within, and as we identify how we can do better, please know that we are listening.
