The uniquely toxic elements of sports culture in Boston goes beyond Yawkey. To understand it, you have to go to across the Atlantic to see its similarities to the sports cultures associated with SS Lazio and Red Star Belgrade. This article examines how some sports cultures find fuel in bigotry.

And what would be the point of finding quotes to “prove” that Mike Tyson is stupid, a bully, and a wife beater, when all of his actions have already proved these traits?

The news media loves to take partial quotes out of context to unfairly besmirch reputations, which is why so many people find the news media unethical and untrustworthy. It is incredible to me that Mr. Stout has turned this on its head and has taken the time to find “quotes” to “prove” something that virtually everyone already knows. He needs to find something constructive to do. Or get a real job.
