Tell us: Should Logan Airport be renamed for Celtics legend Bill Russell?

Days before the Celtics claimed the record-setting 18th NBA championship title, The Atlantic posed this thought: Boston should rename its airport for Bill Russell.

“It’s high time the city properly recognized its greatest sports champion, a civil-rights hero who endured horrific racism during his time with the Celtics,” wrote Mark Leibovich, A Boston native, in The Atlantic.

The basketball legend, who died in 2022, won 11 NBA championships with the Celtics and was the first Black head coach in the NBA.
