This is the first I'm reading about it happening at MSG, but nothing surprises me when it comes to racism.
Oh, it happened, Gets. My brother and I used to go to at least twenty games a year back then, and I saw it first hand.
There was a Celtic game that was particularly ugly. These booze addled White trash Boston fans drove over 200 miles to throw banana peels at the poor guy. And I know they got cuffed, but I'm not sure if they were taken to the tombs, or just taken to the "Garden Jail" and released when they sobered up.
But you're right about about those incidents being under-reported. It was disgraceful.
Perhaps this is a Boston thing. Back in the 60's and 70's I was a Buffalo Bills fan and all the time I heard stories of Bills fans going to a game in Boston and if wearing Bills apparel, getting an ass kicking.I also remember a pre season game in Rochester NY and as a large crowd of Boston people fighting small groups of Bills fans when they were caught outnumbered,
