Campaigners unveil banner linking racism and baseball at Red Sox game | Reuters

'The sign was hung up for one batter during the top of the fourth inning in the Red Sox game versus the Oakland Athletics. '

'Four months ago the Red Sox banned a fan for life after he used a racial slur during a game. '

'Mandatory Credit: Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports(Reuters) - Campaigners inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement unfurled an anti-racism banner at a Boston Red Sox baseball game on Wednesday before security guards escorted them from the ballpark, broadcast media said. '

'In August, Red Sox team owner John Henry said the team would lobby Boston authorities to change the name of Yawkey Way, the street on which the ballpark sits. '

'Wednesday’s banner was “in violation of the club’s policy prohibiting signs of any kind to be hung or affixed to the ballpark,” a Red Sox spokesperson told the sports network. '
