Adam Jones, A Victim Of Racism?
Adam Jones, while playing for the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, had to listen to racist comments. The player was hit by a bag of peanuts while playing the game.
“A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me,’’ Jones said. “I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight. Thanks. Pretty awesome.’’
Despite having experienced racist taunts at Fenway Park before, Jones, one of just 62 African-Americans on opening-day rosters this year, said this was one of the worst incidents of his 12-year career.
Later, when the fan who threw peanut bags was caught, he was so grateful, but some part of him wished that the punishment would be much more severe.
Jones said it is a pathetic and cowardly act someone can do. The player also mentioned that the punishment of kicking them out of the stadium is not enough.
Those types of people must be fined, and we must make them pay for what they did. The outfielder furiously said that throwing something in the field might be dangerous to the players.
So, in his opinion, those types of acts must be handled properly.
