There are cameras just about everywhere in MLB parks. Hopefully @MLB & @Rockies find the coward and take action.

Disgusting. Please find him. And put him in jail without the right to ever attend a sporting event, let alone anything else

The Rockies have issued a statement condemning racism and discrimination



Oh BTW, the Rockies mascots name is "Dinger". What do you hear? Does it seek likely that in a ballpark full of people, someone can shout n____ twice loudly enough to be picked up by the field mics and then just walk off and nobody knows who said it.

NEW: The Rockies tell me last night’s incident was a fan shouting to get the attention of the Rockies mascot Dinger, not a racial slur. The Rockies have spoken to the fan who confirms this is the case. They’ve also reviewed video from the local broadcast




Well at least it started a conversation.

You think someone should go to jail for uttering a word? That’s some foolishness

So you support throwing someone in jail for a word? Is that what you are saying?

Did I say that? You're so transparent because you are fine with someone being racially abused and are more focused on the response to the incident than the actual incident itself


Again, nothing Jesus would support. Then again, Jesus preached love and understanding not hatred for thy neighbor.

I wonder if the fans next to starting moving away from him as quickly as possible?

Reminds of the Bill Burr bit where you're sitting in a bar watching the game and the guy next to you starts using the N-word and then starts talking to you and you're like what the hell are you doing dude?

You just don't drop the N-word in a crowded bar and then act like we're buddies just tossing it the people sitting next to you like a Hot Potato...here you go.

It's not clear to me.

But last year i was in a bar in Atlanta watching the braves game and ATL hit a homerun and i was looking at the TV behind the bar. I yelled, "whoo, get out of here, dinger!" And two of the three people at our table looked at me like i had just dropped an n bomb in the middle of Atlanta. Only the guy beside me heard me clearly.

My response to their reaction was to say, do you really think that i would be yelling that in a bar? I kinda feel the same way here.

Coward?

I feel like it would take a big set of balls to yell that in a sporting event with over 20,000 spectators.

I think I was 11-12 years old when my neighbor got tickets, took me and my dad to the dome. The tickets were halfway up the section behind first base middle of the game some black kid was selling peanuts.

Some redneck was there on the double date and started yelling at the kid hey n***r give me some peanuts even at that age I turned around and told him he shouldn't be talking like that

The jail time comment is stupid but it definitely doesn’t sound like the fan is saying dinger.

Using Twitter as a barometer for outrage isn’t accurate.
