I hesitate to bring this up for obvious reasons, but I saw Jaylen Brown’s comments about racism in Boston, and it seems like the kind of thing, that if it gets traction, might affect teams (including the Pats) ability to bring in players, free agents, from around the country.
I’m just wondering about this perspective that there’s more racism in Boston than in other cities. (I’ve been out of Massachusetts for awhile.) Like Lebron complaining about getting a beer dropped on him 10 years ago, that happens to athletes all the time. Or Irving, who when he brought up racism Brown seemed to shoot it down, but now Brown’s giving interviews to the NY Times about it.
Point being, the random incident here or there can happen anywhere. So I guess it’s a question for those that attend games—do you hear stuff a lot? Or is this overblown? I’m guessing this board is 90% white, but still, people can talk about what they hear.
