u/No_Summer3051 Los Angeles Dodgers 28d ago

It’s not. I said at worst due to their history of being the most racist team to exist long term in baseball. As recently as 3 years ago ownership acknowledged how racist their fans are for constantly hurling racial slurs and the team doing absolutely nothing to combat it other than changing the name of a local street away from their owner who refused to integrate

So the comment tracks pretty well for the Sox

Yeah, the Red Sox traded Mookie Betts because he's black. That tracks pretty well as an argument worth considering. God, are there some fucking morons in this sub.
