Racism has been a big topic surrounding the Boston Red Sox this season. In last night’s game, another racial event occurred.
Some fans sitting on top of the Green Monster last night in the 4th inning hung a banner down the wall that read, “Racism is as American as baseball”. According to multiple reports, the fans that were holding the banner were escorted from their seats very quickly.
Security quickly confiscated the banner and removed those holding it. pic.twitter.com/b8xjLBW8O5

According to a report from CSNNE’s Evan Drellich, the group of people who displayed the sign last night claimed they were white anti-racist protestors.
