Seeing that the Red Sox are a private organization(even though the lines are blurred as Im sure their stadium was tax funded), what would your next course of action be. A person was just banned for life from the stadium for using the N word. I actually agree with that, if I had a private company I would do the same. However, at this point I would ban anybody, anytime that used the N word in he park. Strict 100 percent enforcement, no tolerance. So on what grounds will the Red Sox justify selectively banning some who do use the word and some that dont? Is that not discrimination in and of itself?

On private property it should be the call of ownership to set terms of admittance, but I think stadiums built with tax money should be treated as public property. Having said that, the Red Sox should have no authority to evict anyone. If they want control they should build their own stadium on private property.
Also, why did the Red Sox organization apologize, when no one representing it used the word and what the race of the person who used the verboten word?
Ex Knick Charles Oakley was banned from MSG for less, stadiums have banned people in the past but pretty tough to do that for someone that just attends a few games.
Was this a season ticket holder?
The European soccer fans are much worse the way they treat minorities, particularly England.

They signed a lease with the city which allows them to operate the park at their discretion, do think they are squatting?
Let's face it, the guy was a moron. If he just would have adjusted his tongue a bit and reshaped his mouth, he could have said "cracker" and nobody would have given it a second thought. Sooner or later, you have to learn how to control your mouth. Thought is still free at this point, but speech is not.
Its a word. organization needs to decide if one word is bad, than they all are.. Cursing is cursing. Calling someone a name is derogatory. So, state what words you can and cant say within the organization. And enforce it.
But, before real, blacks can call each other it. Whites can call each other certain words , so forth and so on..
We as a society dont hold anyone accountable, so why should they.
