Reply #30: Maybe I should clarify....

I'm not implying that the Red Sox are CURRENTLY a racist organization. Although, I wouldn't necessarily say there isn't a sizable minority of Sox fans who are racists. Hell, there are just a lot of racists in New England, period.

The point is that the Sox aren't a cursed franchise because Babe Ruth was sold. They're cursed because they had a stink of racism hang over their franchise for 40+ years. Hell, between the mid 1980's and the early 1990's the Red Sox failed to sign one single black free agent.

I'm not talking 40 years ago anymore.

And Marge Schott was just a nutcase. Now, Will, I don't know how long she has owned the team for, but if you do, please tell me how many World Series' the Reds won while Schott was owner.
