Fans drape ‘Racism is as American as baseball’ sign over Green Monster

According to multiple reporters on Twitter, fans draped a sign reading “Racism is as American as baseball” over the Green Monster during the Red Sox-Athletics game Wednesday night.

“It hung for a couple minutes before security pulled it off and escorted the fans out,” MassLive’s Jen McCaffery tweeted.
