Former MLB star Torii Hunter recently came out and described dealing with racial abuse in Boston.

The Boston Red Sox have been in the news for all the wrong reasons as protests have engulfed the United States in the wake of George Floyd’s death. People have taken to the streets to fight against racism, discrimination and social injustice.

Sadly, this has spilled over to the sports world, where Hunter revealed he had no-trade clauses in all of his contracts to avoid landing in Boston, where he said he was the subject of racial abuse by fans at Fenway Park.
