The Green Monster sported a massive “Racism is American as baseball” banner last night as guerrilla activists staged a fourth-inning protest last night in the latest race-related incident at Fenway Park.
Four protesters were ejected, telling ballpark security on the way out that the message was inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. No charges were filed, and the four left the stadium without further incident.
“During the fourth inning of tonight’s game, four fans unfurled a banner over the left field wall in violation of the club’s policy prohibiting signs of any kind of be hung or affixed to the ballpark,” the Red Sox said in a released statement.
