I guess they'd have to give out lots of those passes .. else WWE and the Golf Channel is about all the sports they'll be watching. :0)

I'm betting there's about a billion dollars from Boston alone bet on Conor McGregor.

:0) You do that so well.

Point of FACT .. I've only visited Boston twice for brief periods .. don't follow baseball .. had no idea who the former owner was or that he was racist .. YET, the street will be renamed and the new owners made it clear he was denouncing a racist past.

I had nothing to do with it.

YET, along comes a dummy like you blaming me for what your side brought on. :0) PURE COMEDY.

Had Charlottesville not happened .. Trump not happened .. many of those statues would still be standing and this street may have never been renamed.

Too many dots for you?

ok retard, that's why like the vast majority of our awesome players (devers/mookie/JBJ/benetendi/) are all players fresh out of the farm being paid dirt cheap and anyone we spend big bucks on (price, sandavol) suck ass.

Well, I wasn't going to say anything to him, since he's not known to be sports fan...

hey you got a superior General Manager/farm system going, although Buck Showalter gets the best out of his players.

**BRUTALITOPS** · 08-17-2017, 10:48 PM

yup that's what people don't get. Our farm system is fucking top notch. We grow our talent from the ground up. Then we get the best players in baseball for nearly a decade for very cheap, and then when they start to suck we pawn them off to the incompetent yankees lol. It's called the ellsbury strategy.

The Boston Red Sox will lead an effort to change the name of a street near their stadium named after a former team owner who has been decried for years as a racist, current owner John W. Henry told The Boston Herald on Thursday.

Yawkey Way, which runs alongside the team’s Fenway Park, is named for Tom Yawkey, who owned the franchise from 1933 to 1976. Under his leadership, the Red Sox passed on the chance to sign Jackie Robinson ― who broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 ― and did not sign their first black player until 1959.

Yawkey’s stance against signing black players reportedly cost the Red Sox a chance to sign Hall of Famer Willie Mays, and made the franchise the last team in baseball to integrate its roster.

Yawkey died in 1976, and the street outside Fenway was named for him a year later. But that could change if Henry gets his way.

“For me, personally, the street name has always been a consistent reminder that it is our job to ensure the Red Sox are not just multi-cultural, but stand for as many of the right things in our community as we can – particularly in our African-American community and in the Dominican community that has embraced us so fully,” Henry told the Herald.

Henry, who bought the Red Sox in 2002, added that he is “still haunted by what went on here a long time before we arrived.”

.. and the cultural war continues .. with racists being kicked back into the Stone Age.

Look kid, and that is what you are, a little kid, you can not change the past. Changing the name of a road or knocking down a baseball stadium will not make the world any different. However when you can find peace in your heart, perhaps you will be able to know what happiness is instead of only feeling fear and hate.

Again Alveda King voted for Trump to make America a better place, she knows that she did the right thing. All you know is the fear that envelops your entire being.

Someone who loves you should get an exorcist
