SNL cracks jokes about Adam Jones incident at Fenway Park

Share

Saturday Night Live used the Adam Jones incident to take a shot at Boston sports fans.

During the "Weekend Update" section of the show, Michael Che discussed the issue, when fans at Fenway Park yelled racial slurs and threw a bag of peanuts at the Orioles outfielder.

“In total, 34 people were removed from Fenway Park,” Che said. “You know how comfortably racist a place has to be for 34 strangers to look around and say, ‘I think I can yell the N-word here.'”

Che's got a few of his facts wrong. Sox president Sam Kennedy discussed the issue on WEEI's "Ordway, Merloni and Fauria" last week. He said security ejected one fan for throwing peanuts at Jones and another fan for foul language directed at a player. They also ejected 20 fans for alcohol-related incidents and two for marijuana use.
