Red Sox Fans Must Not Lower Their Selves
Earlier this year, a drunken Yankee fan ran down two Sox fans in New Hampshire. Whether this was an act of revenge or not, Robert Correia, 20 of Cape Cod, MA, was held without bail after attacking a man with a baseball bat simply because he had NY license plates on his car. The victim is not even a baseball fan, nor did he even know that the Yankees were playing against Boston this weekend.
The victim was struck in traffic when Correia and others started yelling at him when they saw his plates. He got out of the car and asked them to stop, as there were children in the car. Correia went back to his nearby apartment and came back with a bat.
There’s always a few rotten apples at the bottom of the barrel, but Red Sox Nation does not need such acts from anyone claiming to be a Sox fan. Robert Correia is no Red Sox fan. We can’t lower ourselves to that abysmal level of disgusting, appalling acts. Good natured jeering is one thing. Violence against fans of other teams has no place anywhere near our favorite team, or any team for that matter.
