Good for him. -
I've referenced this article a few times this morning, but these statements put matters into perspective when it comes to how the MSM covers both sides:
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mas...7Kz&ocid=edgsp
Counterprotesters marched through the city on Saturday to historic Boston Common, where conservatives had planned to deliver a series of speeches but soon left. Police vans later escorted the conservatives out of the area, as boisterous counterprotesters scuffled with police.
Opponents feared that white nationalists might show up in Boston anyway, and turned out in force, some dressed entirely in black with bandannas over their faces.
Members of the Black Lives Matter movement held a protest on the Common, where a Confederate flag was burned and protesters pounded on the sides of a police vehicle.
Rallies in other cities around the country, while smaller, also were forceful.
In Dallas, a scuffle broke out between people at a rally against white supremacy and supporters of Confederate monuments as the event was ending. Police officers had to subdue the crowd.That's what

Don't worry, guys, it was just a "scuffle".Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Who is they? Its not the City of Boston, it's John Henry, the owner of the team that wants to change the name of the street.Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostBoston is going
They want to change the name of Yawkee Way outside of Fenway because the old owner didn't sign a black player until 13 years after Jackie Robinson. Somehow, this made him a terrible racist.

As long as it's not the Yankees.Originally posted by Bill the Cat View Post"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Ah, they would be Henry and Kennedy, owner and Ceo of the team, it was their idea, a business decision. Mayor Walsh merely said he would be open to the idea. You're just trying to use a business decision by the Red Sox to make the City of Boston look bad. And to be clear, I'm from Boston, and have apparently been a Red Sox fan longer than you've been alive. I know more about Boston and the kind of city it is than you think you do.Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostComment

Sorry, but it's been an issue for longer than Henry's statement the other day.Originally posted by JimL View Post

So, you don't know what you are talking about. Again.
No I am not. I loved Boston when I visited. Great city. Great food. I found the people at Fenway to be very good people.Mayor Walsh merely said he would be open to the idea. You're just trying to use a business decision by the Red Sox to make the City of Boston look bad.
Then you should know this isn't the first attempt to rename Yawkey Way.And to be clear, I'm from Boston, and have apparently been a Red Sox fan longer than you've been alive. I know more about Boston and the kind of city it is than you think you do.That's what

Yeah, actually I do. I know its been an issue for a long, long time, its been an issue for the team and for some civic minded individuals who speak out about it, but not for the city.Originally posted by Bill the Cat View Post
Didn't say that it was, that was the inference you were making in saying that Boston is going nuts.No I am not. I loved Boston when I visited. Great city. Great food. I found the people at Fenway to be very good people.
