Red Sox want to rename Yawkey Way

Note - Tom Yawkey did not own slaves. His crime was to be the last MLB team to integrate.

snippets
Boston Red Sox owner John Henry has wanted the city to change the name of Yawkey Way for a while, and the current political climate might provide the right timing.

Henry told the Boston Herald that he is "haunted" by the racist legacy of previous owner Tom Yawkey, who led the team from 1933 to 1976. Although Yawkey is in the Baseball Hall of Fame, he also owned the last team in Major League Baseball to integrate -- 12 years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier

They know full well what they are doing.

Its like asking "Dont these communists realise that by slaughtering the Ukrainian farmers they look like they're insane?"
