The Red Sox are vowing to make sweeping changes after Torii Hunter alleged fans spewed racial hatred toward him during games.
"Torii Hunter's experience is real," Sox officials said."If you doubt him because you've never heard it yourself, take it from us, it happens."
"Last year there were 7 reported incidents at Fenway Park where fans used racial slurs. Those are just the ones we know about. And it's not only players. It happens to the dedicated Black employees who work for us on game days." The good news? The Red Sox say in addition to the heavy penalties they've already put in place for racism in the stands -- they're now going to make broad, organizational changes to help erase the issue altogether.
"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. This small group of fans does not represent who we are, but are rather a reflection of larger systematic issues that as an organization we need to address." The team continued,"True change starts from within, and as we identify how we can do better, please know we are listening. We hear you, and we believe you."
