'Racist as f**k': LeBron James sparks controversy after comments on Boston fans on 'The Shop'
In a recent conversation on the HBO talk show, ‘The Shop’, LeBron James said Boston sports fans are "racist as f**k". The 37-year-old NBA star, who is a part owner of the Red Sox, added the fans in Boston will say whatever they want to say.
When James' business partner Maverick Carter asked him in the show, which got released on July 15, “In basketball, there are fans that can literally take the game from you. You can feel like the fans is not going to let us win this one tonight. What place?" James responded by saying, “I mean, Boston." To which Maverick questioned again, “"Why do you hate Boston?" The NBA star said, “Because they racist as f***, that's why. They will say anything, and it's fine. I mean, f***, it's my wife, she's been dealing with them her whole life. I don't mind it. I hear it, if I hear someone close by, I check them real quick. I move onto the game, whatever the f***. They going to say whatever the f*** they want to say. They might throw something, I got a beer thrown on me leaving a game."
