Yes, regardless of race, that happens now at Wrigley. However, the problem is that multiple African-American players have reported that when they are the target of the fans' anger, there are some who make it racial.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I disagree, I think that's exactly what its about. Of course I agree the fact that some use racial slurs to do it, makes it a bigger problem.
Despite all the progress we have made as a country many many people still revert to racial comments when they want to hurt someone.
I still think it originates with dumbass fans trying to get on opposing players and/or sucky Cubs ones.
I don't think people come to the park specifically to find black players and hurl slurs at them.
