‘Racism is as American as baseball’ banner hung at A’s game
球迷因在红袜球场悬挂旗帜被赶出场
BOSTON — Four people were tossed from Fenway Park Wednesday night after they
unfurled a banner from the Green Monster proclaiming “racism is as American
as baseball,” according to reports.
四个球迷在星期三晚上在红袜的‘绿色巨怪’围墙上悬吊标语“棒球跟种族主义一样是
很美国的”，被赶出球场。
The black-and-white sign was displayed during the fourth inning of the game
between the Oakland Athletics and the Boston Red Sox. It was removed by
security a few minutes later.
这黑底白字的标志是在奥克兰做客红袜的比赛第四局的时候吊上去，但是几分钟后就被保
全给移除了。
The foursome was ejected because there is a rule against hanging signs,
according to the Boston Globe.
根据当地媒体，这四个人因为违反悬挂标语的规定被赶出球场。
“During the fourth inning of tonight’s game, four fans unfurled a banner
over the left field wall in violation of the club’s policy prohibiting signs
of any kind to be hung or affixed to the ballpark,” Red Sox spokesman Zineb
Curran confirmed in a statement to NBC.
“今晚在第四局的时候，有四个球迷因违反球团禁止标语悬挂或固定在球场的规定，把标
志挂在左外野墙上，”红袜发言人Curran在给NBC的声明中说到。
On Twitter, a group called Boston Antifa claimed responsibility for the
stunt, writing “Another Boston Antifa victory at the Red Sox game tonight.
We have been on fire all summer!”
在推特上，一个自称是‘波士顿反法西斯’的团体宣称是他们做的，推特写到，“今晚在
红袜球场，又是一个反法西斯的胜利，我们这个夏天真是火热！”
This is at least the second time this year a controversial sign has been hung
from the 37-foot left field wall known as the Green Monster, CSN New England
reported. In June, a sign with a political message regarding the Middle East
was unfurled and also removed.
这是今年至少第二起有争议性的标语被挂在有37呎高的绿色巨怪围墙上。今年六月，另外
一个有关中东的政治性标语被挂出来但也很快被移除。
CSN New England said racial slurs also were hurled at Orioles outfielder Adam
Jones during a game at Fenway earlier this season, leading the Red Sox to
institute a no-tolerance policy.
今年球季稍早，金莺外野手Adam Jones在红袜出赛的时候也被种族歧视言语攻击，导致红
袜球团这样的行为采取零容忍的态度。
