Boston libs should protest until it is named after a real black guy, like Reggie Jefferson (yes, I know) or Jim Rice

Name it O'Leary Way after Troy O'Leary. That way they can name it after a black player with a white name.

I'm calling my shot that it's going to be re-named after Pumpsie Green.

What a bunch of stupid BS.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Pumpsie ave or Green Street

I like Green Way or Green St. Covers 2 things.

 

[black francis]

Name it Red Sox Way and be done with it

Anything else is trying too hard to appease people

"Jean and Tom Yawkey's philanthropy has always been color blind," read the statement. "Their extraordinary generosity has made a significant impact on Massachusetts and the Greater Boston community, contributing more than $450 million to hundreds of non-profit organizations and helping improve the lives of thousands of disadvantaged children of all backgrounds. We are honored to have the Yawkey name on so many organizations and institutions that benefit Bostonians of all races -- and disheartened by any effort to embroil the Yawkeys in today's political controversy."

I hope John Henry's yacht sinks in Boston harbor tonight.

If they want to name it after David Ortiz, how about Asterisk Ave?

What is racist about the street? Did they used to lynch people there, or is this about not allowing Afro-Americans on the team for so long?
