The Red Sox have made a strong statement in a city that is notorious for not being the most welcoming of certain minorities.

The team posted a picture of a 252 feet long, 20 feet high Black Lives Matter banner outside Fenway Park Wednesday night.

As fully expected, Red Sox fans went scorched-Earth in the comment section to the team doing this.

Lots of freshly activated bots, bootlickers, and paid trolls in these replies lol https://t.co/S4T2nRz1vL pic.twitter.com/APGXbEG9ND

I’m done.Ive been a fan since 1969. Any organization that supports a Terrorist organization, I cannot support. I want all that believe this to also no longer support the Ted Sox Organization. I wish people would do their homework and see what BLM is really is

They were my favorite team but no longer. BLM stands for Burn/Lute/Murder. They have bowed to the Marxists movement. Hopefully, they will go bankrupt due to lack of fans. @RedSox https://t.co/MAj42rGauC

It was earlier this year when the team backed up Torii Hunter, releasing a powerful statement after the former Major League Baseball player said he didn’t want to be traded to Boston due to racist taunts he heard at Fenway Park. “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,” part of the statement from June 10 said.
