Boston’s reputation for racism is perpetuated with tweets

Jason Brough

Now that it’s being reported in major newspapers like The Boston Globe and The Globe and Mail, we suppose we should touch on the minority of Bruins fans who posted racist tweets after Capitals forward Joel Ward scored in overtime last night to eliminate Boston.

First off, let it be known that ProHockeyTalk is against racist tweeting.

Let it also be known that this was entirely predictable. Not because all Bruins fans are inherently racist, but because Twitter can be an ugly place and some people are cowards.

Unfortunately, this won’t help Boston’s reputation for racism, particularly when it comes to sports. A reputation, it needs to be stressed, that was earned.

From a 2007 Boston Magazine story:

Celtics Hall of Famer Bill Russell may have been named one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players, but that didn’t shield him from bigotry during his playing days. Russell, who once called Boston a “flea market of racism,” even had vandals break into his home just to defecate in his bed. His teammates also felt the hatred. “We were living in Framingham when I was a player,” recalls Celtics Hall of Famer K. C. Jones. “I went to buy a house about five blocks away…. The neighbors said they didn’t want any blacks to move into the house.” Another time, Jones applied for membership at a country club, only to be told they weren’t fond of “entertainers.” Still, Jones is quick to point out that he enjoyed his time in Boston, and that things have changed. He even calls me back to make sure I note that he harbors no ill will. He stresses this. But he also knows that the city’s racism didn’t end with him or Russell.

Clearly most Boston sports fans aren’t racist. The list of black athletes that have been celebrated in the city – Russell, Robert Parish, Andre Tippett, David Ortiz, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Randy Moss, Ray Allen, Jim Rice, and on and on – is too long.

Sadly, it’s hard to change a city’s reputation, especially when incidents keep occurring.

Did the Caps win?




It was tied 1-1 in the 8th.

That's a pretty silly question. Of course they won Rangers or the foreign team is up next. We'll know tonight.
